For those getting into Vegas early… we’re kicking things off Thursday night. We’ll be heading to Universal Horror Unleashed—a full-on horror experience with multiple haunted houses, themed bars, food, and drinks. Basically… a solid way to ease into the weekend before things really start to spiral. We’ll be meeting up around 6:00 PM and hanging there until about 8:30 PM, going through haunted houses, grabbing food, and getting a few drinks in. This is completely optional, and tickets will not be covered, as this is something Abby and I are planning to do regardless before meeting up with everyone later that night. After Horror Unleashed, we’ll regroup and head out for our first night out in Vegas. If you’re interested and would like to book a ticket, head over to the Things To Do tab on this website for the link. Come get a little scared… or just come for the drinks.

Well Never Walk Alone.... Party through the strip! Drinking, Smoking, Gambling Vegas Fun!!!!

The Big Day Alright… this is it. The main event. The point where things start to get a little weird. Dress code: black. That’s the only rule—but we mean BLACK. Not “black with a white shirt.” Not “mostly black.” Black on black on black. Go classy, go gothic, go desert outlaw, go full vampire biker—we don’t care… just keep it dark. If you’re questioning it, it’s probably not black enough. We’re kicking things off at The Cosmopolitan, where we’ll all pile onto a party bus loaded with booze, snacks, and just enough questionable decision-making to set the tone. From there, we head out—away from the lights, away from the noise—45 minutes into the desert toward Goodsprings, Nevada. A real ghost town. The kind of place where the air feels a little off and time doesn’t move quite right. The ceremony? Short and to the point. No long speeches. No standing around wondering when it ends. We’ll say our “I do’s” out at a desert trailhead—wind, dust, and whoever (or whatever) decides to show up—then just like that… it’s done. Married. And we move on. From there, we head straight to the legendary Pioneer Saloon. All-you-can-eat BBQ, open bar, and a building that’s seen more than its fair share of stories. Eat, drink, wander around, and take in the ghost town vibes while we grab photos. If you feel like something’s watching you in the background… just roll with it. After a few hours—once the drinks are flowing, the sun starts dropping, and things feel just a little heavier—we load back onto the bus and head toward the Strip. Quick stop at the iconic “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign for photos… because at this point, why wouldn’t we? Back at The Cosmopolitan, you’ll have about an hour to regroup, recharge, and possibly question a few life choices. And this is where things shift. The formal part of the night is over. Because yes—we will be changing into full Halloween costumes. Costumes are optional for you… but highly encouraged. This is Halloween night in Vegas after all. Go subtle if you want… or go completely off the rails. Then we meet back up—no longer dressed for a wedding, but for whatever comes next—and head out into the night. First stop: the old strip—Fremont Street. Then we make our way back to the chaos of the new strip. Somewhere between the desert, the ghosts, and the neon lights, things may get a little strange. “Buy the ticket, take the ride.” Check out the "Stuff To Do" tab at the top of his website to find out that rad history of the Pioneer Saloon! More details to come…

After the inevitable chaos of the night before… we keep it moving. No easing into it. No slowing down. We’ll be heading to the Punk Rock Museum from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The Punk Rock Museum is exactly what it sounds like. Guitars, handwritten lyrics, clothing, old flyers—real pieces from bands and moments that weren’t meant to last, but somehow did. It’s loud history. Messy, raw, and exactly where we should be. There’s also a bar inside—so you can walk through it all with a drink in hand and pretend you’re pulling it together. Now… will we be a little hungover? Absolutely. But we are seasoned professionals. Veterans of bad decisions. We’ve trained for this. We will rally. We will power through. And somehow… we will make this awesome. This event is optional, and tickets will not be covered. If you’re interested, head over to the Things To Do tab on this website for more information about the museum and a link to purchase tickets. Oi!
