MGM Grand Macau Opening Night Party

On Tuesday night we were fortunate enough to be invited to attend the grand opening festivities for the MGM Grand Macao Casino.  A large group of us took the Turbojet ferry to Macau for the event.  (note:  i usually use 'Macau',  but in Macau they write 'Macao', so forgive me if I mix them up). :-P

火曜日夜マカオのMGMグランドマカオカジノの開館パーティを参加した。ちょっと写真を撮った。

I took some pics and video,  mostly of me and my friends , and not too many of the actual building or the party.  But there's a few worth checking out.

This is the main hall where they had the party.  Full of VIP guests....

マイン会館。

I took a little video, take a look:　ビデオ見て：

Yes, a team of brazillian samba dancers in the requisite thong bikini....  no expense was spared!

ブラジルのダンサーもありました！T-バーク見えますか？嫌らしい！

While we were watching the events we could see some fireworks going off through those skylights on the roof,  but I had no idea how fancy it was.  this is a video I found on youtube that someone took from outside:　

お外で花火有りました。僕達はあまり見えませんでしたけど、Youtubeで他の人のビデオ見つけました：

すごいでした。

There were also some familiar faces:

The beautiful Miss Jolie Chan (陳苑淇)!  -- no i wasn't waiting behind some bushes to ambush her. 

The beautiful Rosemary Vandenbroucke was there too, but since we ran into her at the casino, I couldn't take a picture.  (i didn't want to test the new security guards...)

有名な美女が居ました。ジョーリーチャンです。ロスマーリーVも居た、でもカジノで会ったから、写真撮りませんでした。：-P

but like i said, i mostly just took pictures of the guys i was there with... here's a few:

大体僕の友達だけを撮った：

this was still only the first or second round of drinks...　よっぱらいの前ですよ。。。

帥哥

I'd like to lie and say I came with such a beautiful date while the rest of the guys were just hanging out with each other... but i don't want to be a liar. :-P

実は僕のダートじゃない。残念！友達です。

after the gambling...  Conroy said "Bet it all on black" and he won!

On the way out, we stopped for a group photo... don't know when the next time we're all going to be this dressed up will be:

Apparently that thing behind is a Salvador Dali btw.

アライブノトデードの会社員です（とコンロイ君）

On the way back his hard partying ways finally caught up with him:

poor Eric...

Actually I have one more blog from this event... but it'll take me a while to prepare my video.  maybe I'll get it done over the weekend if I'm lucky.  :-P

実はパーティのビデオと写真まだ有る。この週末まで待ってください！
