Vegas is the answer no matter the question.
True story!Β
I guess there are few things money can't buy in Las Vegas.
My today's story is probably the exception to the rule.
@surfermarly's elevator selfie after checking in at "ARIA Resort & Casino"
What happens in Vegas Stays... On Steemit :D
Before traveling to Vegas I was mentally prepared for the maximum.
However, I learned that there were still some things able to completely surprise me.
The very best part of funny anecdotes is definitely to share them with as much people as possible. So here we go, steemians!Β
Everything started with the elevator selfie.
A couple of days before leaving New York (my first travel destination) towards Las Vegas, one of my favorite PRO surfers published a selfie on Instagram showing him and a friend in the elevator of a five star resort in Vegas.
By chance this was exactly the place me and my friend @knircky were supposed to stay during the first part of our vacation in Vegas: the legendary ARIA.
What a cool coincidence!Β
I defininitely wanted to take the opportunity to personally salute one of my surfing idols!
So I commented his elevator selfie as follows:
Obviously I don't want to get that guy into trouble so don't ask me about names :-)
Not surprisingly I didn't get any reply on that comment.
However, when I did that famous elevator selfie of mine (first picture above) I remembered his.
So I sent him a direct message via Instagram.
I just thought it could be a nice opportunity to meet such a great surfer at this outstanding place.
Probably I'm too naive sometimes π
The following conversation proves that little Marly still needs to learn much about Vegas, haha!
Instagram chat with one of my surfing idols!
Wait! What? He seriously agreed on a meeting?
I couldn't believe it.Β
First thing I did was showing the messages to my buddie @knircky who was with me at that point of time. I told him that he would need to be my photographer since I definitely would need to do a picture with that LEGEND.
I mean I obviously wanted to share this encounter with you guys here on steemit :-)
In the end I didn't get the picture but I did get something else: the funniest anecdote to tell ever!Β
To be honest I needed to read that conversation like 10 times to really believe that it truly happened - LOL.
Wow! You ask for a meeting and get the whole package?! π
Welcome to Las Vegas, @surfermarly! Damn!
That happend at my very first evening in Vegas. What a start, haha!
Obviously, the fact that I play poker somehow saved me right from the start.
You may only imagine how @knircky and I have laughed about that story!!!
Hmm... I bet these sky suites are a blast!
Sorry steemians, I would have loved to photograph them for you.
But I guess I'm just too old for these kind of stuff, haha!Β
Remember: What happens in Vegas stays... on steemit!Β
More anecdotes and travel stories to come soon,Β
Marly -Β

What a coincidence, and what a funny story!
The stars had aligned to give you a chance to meet your idol, and then aligned again to save you, Go Poker! lol
LOL - you summed it up perfectly π
I think I'd prefer to watch these guys surfing on TV the next time and go ahead with my original program, haha!
Haha, love it π Vegas, baby!
Haha, yeah! Vegas, baby! Now I know what that means LOL
Auch ohne Surfbrett hast du ein attraktives Thema fΓΌr einen Post gefunden.
Besteht denn weiterhin die Aussicht, dass du blad mal nach MΓΌnchen kommst?
Ich erinnere mich dunkel an das Stichwort Oktoberfest. Unser Steemit-Stammtisch wΓΌrde dich sehr gerne als Special Guest begrΓΌΓen.
Ja, in Vegas konnte man auch surfen - aber nur auf dem FlowRider (indoor). Und das war mir dann doch etwas zu lahm, haha!
Bis jetzt ist meine Reise nach MΓΌnchen genau so geplant, yip π
Kann ja immer mal was sein mit Job etc., also kann ich nichts zu 100% versprechen. Aber ich gebe auf jeden Fall kurzfristig nochmal Bescheid!
haha seems like he really wanted you to go to his room for some reason.. ^-^
I'm glad taht you enjoyed yourself in vegas.
He supposedly didn't want to show me his latest surf videos....:D
I fully enjoyed the trip, YES!
What happens in Vegas stays on Steemit and can be read for as long as the internet exists. Good thing you were too busy to meet the guy.
I wasn't too busy at all. But I don't need that kind of stuff :-)
Anecdotes last forever - especially when published on the blockchain. No doubt about that!
So you edited out the dude's name, but I think it was this guy:
You got him!!! ππ
Bwahaha, I knew it π
Sure it wasnt you @sandstorm?? Stars are brighter up there than a shooting one ;)
LOL, It wasn't me @immarojas, I swear haha, you're too much π€£ π
Am guessing anyway..but we can't be sure as the witness is silent about it lolsss
omg that story made me laugh!! that is amazing!!! truth is they prob get laid really easily and majority of girls just go !! but I'm still a bit shocked! hahah like you are supposed to just go to his room? hahah crazy!!!
I was shocked, too. No doubt about that, haha!
But believe me there are a lot who would have just gone to that room.
I'm definitely too old for these kind of stories :-D
Is it a crime if I say am in love with your posts?
π― % upvoted.
Haha, no of course it's not :)
Thanks for your kind support!!!
This is one of the more interesting stories that I've read on here. I love real life stuff. To be honest I'm not sure how I wound up in this thread but I remembered that I saw you in some pictures with dreemit from the meetup you guys had so I decided to read it. Glad I did. Very funny. You've got a new follower.
Haha, thank you!
Usually I don't write about my dating experiences, but I thought that this one definitely needed to be shared :)
The follow is much appreciated! I hope I'll meet your expectations.
Now you can tell everyone.... I was the pro Surfer.... sooner or later everyone would find out :D
I bet nobody would love to be him right now :D
A missed shot always hurts, haha!
True, but he tried and failed he will get up :) Same in sports :) If you don't try you already lost :D Lucky me I'm not that direct :D
You've been here all this time and you haven't ventured out to the Bunny Ranch for a little 'party'?
Just googled "Bunny Ranch"... I think that's the answer to your question :D LOL
Great post ;-)
Sounds like you had a great time in vegas! I'm looking forward to more anecdotes and travel stories. Have a nice day!
thank you for your article π ππ
we are new on the platform and will be blogging about health and fitness please follow us @healthlovetravel
You've posted the very same thing to my last article and I already replied that I'm following you. I also upvoted your last articles. Try to be less spammy here...:)
Ooops..
Sorry Sufermarly, thats noted !
only trying to figure out this platform :)
No problem. Steemit is just not like Instagram :) Followership is rather earned by creating good content and not by "buying" it through "follow for follow" actions. Best of luck for your journey!!
I like your post!
@surfermarly
next time please send more pictures...your narrative is awesome...
What happens in Vegas ...stays on steemit! nice one dear...keep steeming hot...
Haha, I can't take pictures from an event that never happened π
haha what an epic start to a vegas adventure
Thanks for sharing I am happy to be following! Keep em coming :-)
That was one of the more fun stories I've seen in Steemit!
OMG so typical. hehe. I guess your feed is going to be bombarded by memes all day! #womenofsteemit =)
"How I almost had sex with a pro surfer" :)
LOL - not even almost, man!
@surfermarly: What Happens In Vegas Stays... On Steemit! : This one was true read magnet. Thanks for the story.
travel is the best. nice post. thanks
:) Haha! Thanks for sharing that crazy story! That was one you'll be glad you put together here on steemit for later to look back on. People are, well just that, people. As the saying goes you only live once right although I think you made the right decision. Great story and I laughed this morning reading it over a cup o' joe.
Lol great anecdote! And what a great way to start your vacation in Vegas! I look forward to reading more of your stories :)
Very interesting adventure! Thank you @surfermarly for the fascinating story!
This is hilarious! To think, you were happy just getting a response on Instagram, much less him inviting you to his room! That's more than you bargained for lol. It just goes to show that anything can happen in Vegas, and what happens in Vegas..........stays on Steemit. Glad you could share this awesome story with us :)
Hahaha damn! It seems his intentions werenΒ΄t as righteous as yours! But it would have made a very great story to meet him and talk about both your passion, still, it was quite funny to read about it! I canΒ΄t imagine the laughs you and @knircky had that night.
Amazing post :)) I love your blogs. Resteemed! Continue like thatπ
as they say, anything can happen in Vegas! Glad you had an epic experience here and it seems in general in your US travels, I'm enjoying reading about them!
what a vacation, so many awesome places u keep going lol
Shame...he missed out a lot in that one. Admiring from afar certainly beats meeting them in person ;)
