Default Trip To Vegas - Z pictures!

**edited - bigger picture sizes**

Well I really don't post a whole lot on these forums, but i'm always on here reading all about the Z because i'm literally obsessed with the car.

For my birthday, my gf had secretly planned a 4 day trip to Las Vegas, and also rented us a 2006 350z Touring for the entire time!! Needless to say, the Z was the main highlight of the trip and had a spot in all the pictures. Also my buddy drove down from Arizona with his 2003 Infiniti G35 coupe and we took pictures together. Enjoy guys!

(camera isn't that great, but its as good as it gets with what i had - Nikon coolpix 3.1 - pictures are resized from imagestation.com, originals are alot bigger)

Great pictures. Did you go this past weekend? I was there not too long ago during the Mosley vs Vargas weekend. How did you like the stay at New York, New York? I'm going back in September for my birthday and I'm debating where to stay.

Gotta love Las Vegas. I turned 21 just over a year ago and Ive been twice already, and cant wait to go again. I recently stayed at the Stratosphere and liked it a lot. I dont mind walking though, as it was at the bottom of the strip and took a couple minutes to get somewhere on the main strip. But it was that much closer to downtown too. Its all in how you look at it I guess.

Nice pix, Vegas is the *****!

I just updated it guys, made the pictures a little bigger!

I LOVED Vegas, and I want to go back so bad. I think the combination of the weather, the freedom, the fun, and the car was just the beautiful combination that made me not want to go back to what I called Life so far.

I actually went July 5th through July 8th, my birthday was July 4th and I found out that evening that we had to pack up for the flight the next morning!

New York New York was awesome, but for that much money, they should have atleast had a fridgerator in the room. I wanted to keep some drinks and pop cool in the room so we didn't have to keep spending money on water and drinks all day, but ah well, the casion and hotel was great!!

I prefer walking as well. It beats waiting at the traffic lights on LV Blvd; especially when it's a busy weekend. I stayed at The Wynn and it took about 30 min. driving; to get to the Bellagio.

Sorry for going off-topic btw.

Yeah seems there are aLOT of people from Cali that drive to Vegas, I seen Cali plates all over the place!

I drove as MUCH as possible. Obviously 1) cause of the car and 2) cause we had unlimited mileage so I was using that bad boy as best I could to see all of vegas. We cruised every night and valet'd the car whenever we wanted to stop and walk. We were livin it up for sure, I just had so much fun being there!! I loved when Valet would pull the car up and people would see -me- walking up to it, like Yup..thats me. Too bad I heart that car so damn badly.

Thanks for the B-day wish! She definitely did a wonderful thing, as she always does. And she loves the Z too!! I let her drive it one of the days only because I didn't wanna leave the car the begin with, and she was LOVING how the car handled. I wish I had a video taped her, she was all tappin her fingers and lovin every second like traffic could take forever, she didn't care she just loved driving it.

The only thing I regret is not being able to stay longer, because I only went into Bellagio, Venetian and Stratosphere. I didn't go into MGM or any other hotel even with them being so damn close. Ah well, next time!!

One funny story though, when we went to pick the car up, Hertz offered to buy gas from them at a discounted price. Now I know what the 350z needs to fill up. So I politely ask "Hmm...I dunno, how much is Premium right now in Vegas?" The guy laughed and responded "Hahah, sir! None of our vehicles take premium gas. Regular Unleaded is just fine." I looked at my girlfriend with a small smirk and said "Okay..."

God this is really weird, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I tried reposting the exact links and it varies when it posts and when it doesn't.
