Here are some fool-proof tips that should help any girl find love in Sin City:
1) Get a good spray tan. If you plan on spending all day poolside (umm... it's Vegas), you better be prepared with a toned/tanned body. Or at least have a tan... which can make up for lack of tone. But remember! Don't forget the sunscreen! A sunburn out at the club later that night looks pretty lame.
2) Start drinking early. My mentors had been hitting their water bottles of redbull-vodka since at least 10am... if not earlier. Definitely makes you look "fun" and "spontaneous" and can help take the edge off if you're feeling a little nervous about your people skills. If you're feeling cheap or don't have your own source of booze, just walk up to the bar, find some middle-aged guys and make them buy you shots. They'll do it, I promise... especially if you have a good spray tan.
3) Play games. Here are some of my favorites:
- "Oh my god, you guys! Guess our names!" (perfect if you're in a group... can keep conversation going for minutes... just imagine how many names are out there!).
- "Guess which ones of us have boyfriends!"
- "So if you had to choose... which one of us do you think would get married first?"
4) Stake a claim. If a certain boy has caught your eye, let everyone know by trading sunglasses with him. Don't know how to initiate the trade? Here's a good ice-breaker: "OMG I love your glasses! Let's switch!" (and then you hand out yours and/or grab his). This will also make the boy feel special because you liked his glasses and/or because you're paying attention to him.
5) Make him work for it. If it's been hours at the pool and you're pretty sure but not positive that he's into you, try a little test: make him do something for you. For example, you could throw your camera into the ice-cold pool and make him fish it out ASAP so it doesn't get "ruined" (he doesn't need to know it's a waterproof camera).
6) Get "married" at the pool. Great play on the Vegas wedding concept. Pick your favorite boy and have a fake wedding complete with bridesmaids/groomsmen and speeches. If you really want to commit to the idea, you should friend him on fb and announce your marriage... like that same day.
7) Make evening plans. Eventually, the pool is going to close and you're going to have to go back to the room and get ready for the evening. At some point in the day, exchange numbers. Then, that night while at dinner text the shit out of him. I mean... umm... get your text-flirt on and keep mentioning how badly you want to meet up.
8) Late-night meet-up. FINALLY! The time has come for you to reunite with your love after an excruciatingly long separation during dinner and the evenings activities! If you're staying in the same hotel, meet in the lobby or something. This way you can "gamble" for like 10 minutes and then go back to one of your rooms. SUCCESS!!
Now, a note of caution about going back to someone's room... or bringing them back to your own: ACT FAST! If there are a bunch of you staying in one room, then inevitably, somebody will get to the room first and everyone else will be left homeless (and, more importantly, without a good place to hook up... luckily for me, this isn't too big of a problem; I went to boarding school where I learned to be very creative). If you have slutty friends, then they will box you out of your own room and you will be left roaming the casino/hotel/Vegas strip drunkenly snuggling with your new lover... until like 6am. So seriously. Don't screw around pretending like you want to do anything other than going back to the room. GO STRAIGHT THERE!! Also, don't worry about safety. It's Vegas; everyone is totally trustworthy and only has the best intentions.
