Sean O'Brien, Pro Windsurfer – seanobrien.com.au™

So I hadn’t seen my bestie Timmy in about 3 years so figured it was time to swing down to Singapore to catch up with him and also another good mate of ours who’s just got hitched and on his way back to Australia. I haven’t been to Singapore proper (apart from Changi airport 15 times a year) in about 8 years and A LOT has changed in that time! Here’s a quick chronolog of our weekend madness in Singapore – the happiest Asian city on Earth!

Sentosa Tourist Park (can’t believe this guy ruined my shot!) – check out the 45m high stone MERLION statue in the background.

Collecting horrible Chinese masks in China Town.

Checking out the foyer in the $8 billion Marina Bay Sands Hotel/Casino (that place is awesome!).

View from Level 27 where our friends were staying in this amazing MBS hotel!

The Art/Science Museum at the front of the MBS where we went to see the Salvador Dali exhibition.

Caribbean Club apartments where we went to one of the wildest BBQ’s full of English twats and all-sorts on Saturday night before hitting the town.

The amazing INFINITY POOL on the roof level of the MBS which also doubles as a nightclub in the evenings called Ku De Ta (was $50 just to get in though – sheesh!)

Inside the MBS shopping centre there were small canals and fountains that you could take gondola boat rides in! WTF?!

Avalon Club. A 17,000sq foot ‘crystal inspired’ glass nightclub floating on the water in Marina Bay right in front of the Casino. One of the best nightclubs I’ve seen on the planet … simply amazing. Hello, another $40 to get in though and $20 drinks. Meh!

Hit the clubs with a few friends!

The city skyline viewed from the balcony at Avalon Club.

On Sunday we rocked the Tamjong Beach Club (they call it model beach apparently) for some sun soaked beers and sand. Great atmosphere.

Up the top of the MBS at Ku De Ta rocking the VIP section things get a bit wild. Our first adventures with the big man’s new fiance – think she took it all in stride!

About to check out the Louis Vuitton store which is another floating glass temple on the water in front of the MBS. There is actually a tunnel that goes between the LV store inside the MBS to this concept store where you walk under the water… Saw the most awesome pair of hightop sneakers there but they were $1,980.

On my last night before hitting the airport me & Timmy head to LITTLE INDIA and find the magic Ghandi restaurant where you are served endless rice/vege/meat curry assortments dumped on a massive banana leaf on your table and just eat with your hands. They refill the water glass pretty quick cause this stuff is SPICY!

Managed to actually make my plane this time and get back to Europe (and the cold). Singapore…WHAT A PLACE. Go visit! Do it!

On the last Friday of the Las Vegas Trip the Vegas boys and I decided to hit the Wet Republic pool party at the MGM Grand. For those that have never heard of Wet, it’s a dedicated day club housed in and around 3 large pools in a venue inside the MGM grounds. It’s home to some of the craziest pool parties, world renowned DJ’s and if you check out their website, you’ll see the list of international moviestars and sporting celebrities who host their birthday’s there is simply incredible. We managed to score one of the VIP Cabana’s with some of our hookups and ended up having one of the best day’s out ever. All my good friends, all the sun, all the lounges, all the girls. Yeap. Will need to come back at some point with wind turbines and host a freestyle content there.

About one year ago, a really good friend of mine from school announced he was marrying his sweetheart. In an incredible act of genius, he announced that in 1 year from that day, he’d take his best mates to Las Vegas for one kick-ass bachelor party. Insert 14 of my best and oldest friends, 15 hour plane rides from various parts of the world, 14 Hugo Boss suits; and this is what happened when that day finally arrived!

New York, New York casinos. One of the biggest and right next door to MGM Grand where we stayed.

Our mate getting married on the left; the reason we all went to LV.

Firing an M249 S.A.W. at a firing range in old town. Apparently civilians can buy these guns!

Nick and me being awesome everywhere we went.

A genuine Buick RoadMaster Estate Wagon. With wood coloured wallpaper so thick you can smell the vanish.

Americans really know how to do sneakers.

The mega fountain outside the Bellagio Casino. Right next door to the Cosmopolitan casino (my personal favourite).

The Las Vegas Wranglers. We watched them claim victory at the Fiesta Rancho stadium. Ice-hockey is such a cool sport.

We also caught the NAMAUU vs BARRAGAN fight at the Rio the next night.

Wild times everywhere we went.

With 14 of us, limos were a necessity and used frequently.

Lazing by the pool after breakfast was always worth it.

So after only 5 days in Las Vegas I’m fairly sure we ticked off everything to do there, in and out of the casinos. We managed to see ice-hockey, boxing, Cirque de Soleil, David Copperfield’s show, the awesome ‘Bodies’ exhibit at the Luxor Museum as well as drive downtown to see the 900m rooftop tv-screen at Freemont Street, visiting the Gun Store to fire obscenely big machine guns and also hit the greatest clubs on the planet such as Wet Republic at MGM, Marquee @ Cosmopolitan and even managed a few of us to get in the semi-finals of the Blackjack competition at the upstairs Playboy Club. I think Las Vegas might just be my favourite place ever….
