Rob Lipsett flies from London to Las Vegas for a 24-hour journey, arriving at the Hard Rock Hotel ready for an expo. He shares his pre-flight routine, the flight experience, and settling into Vegas with plans to skip gambling and focus on the expo instead.
Good morning everyone, it's like 4 AM or some ludicrous hour, but we're just about to head off to the airport, so I'm getting ready. Before I get on a big long flight to America, and I know I'm going to be traveling for like 24 hours, I like to have a shave, kind of get into comfy clothes, be as fresh as possible, and also pack enough protein treats to feed a small village. A small village of bodybuilders. Oh, hello. I'm a bodybuilder. Yes, yes you are. Anyways, so we're just about to head to Dublin Airport now. I like— some people hate the airport, I absolutely love it because it means you're going somewhere and you're off on an adventure, as someone in Lord of the Rings once said. I forget who it was though. Anyways, let's go. Super foggy. Alright, so just taken off from London Heathrow now. We're on the last leg of our journey. I'm pretty tired, but I'm ready to just conk out now, wake up in Vegas. I cannot wait. Excuse the extreme tiredness. There's like Jack dudes everywhere, so I know I'm on the right flight. No photos, sir. Oh, sorry. So we have arrived in Las Vegas. I'm loving that heat, it feels so good. I'm like full of life once again. I had a pretty good sleep on the airplane. I just like passed out. So yeah, we're here now. We're gonna go to the hotel. We're staying in the Hard Rock. I've never actually been there before. I think Sarah has. So looking for a cab now and then I'll check in with you guys when we get there. I think the plan is I want to get like a light workout in just because you know the Anyway, you always feel kind of crappy after a really long flight. Get something good to eat that doesn't resemble plane food and then just kind of settle in, get ready for the weekend. So I'll catch up with you guys in a bit. Alright, so we just got to the Hard Rock. We had like the nicest Uber driver ever. He was like, it was so cool. So we're just gonna head in here now, check in, get to our room. Simsorias! Here we go, registration. If anyone's wondering, I am not into gambling at all, but like, when in Vegas, I think it would be hilarious if me and you did some gambling. Like, on a scale of 1 to 10, how bad at poker are you? Oh, I've never played poker. Maybe we'll do roulette. You can, you can pick a number, right? Okay, yeah, you can manage that, right? Me and Sarah are hitting the roulette tables, but there is not more depressing when you go into like a bookies or like even at the table and you see someone and they just look like they lost their house. I'm not about that life. When you're in Vegas, there's something— you just get excited. Like, there's so much to look at, there's so much things going on, and it's like you haven't even left the hotel. So nice. There's lights. Hey, it's me, Hank. Fuck, sorry, excuse my language, but two sinks is pretty much crucial when you're talking about these two people right here, because she sets up camp when it comes to all her beauty products. This is like Jack's 2 beds, just in case we want to kill each other. I am gonna selfie the shit out of this mirror. So then we got the 2 beds here, not that we're gonna need them. Big TV. What's the view like? Look at that pool there, man. Oh my god. I'm going there in the morning, maybe like before the expo for a dip. Whoa. It's really cool though. So we're gonna unpack now. I am absolutely just high on life right now and just cannot wait to get this weekend started. Right, so I've freshened up a little bit. I like the rock music playing here. I've freshened up a little bit, just going down to reception now to meet the team, get some clothes for tomorrow. All right, look what we got here. What's cracking? How's things, lads? You're well? Good to see you. Hey, what's up? Oh man, you good? So good, I'm great. Look at this guy looking fresh. Let's see, Robert, there you go, sir. Excellent. So, was just down there kind of meeting the staff, meeting the team, picking up our clothes, and how badass is that? Rob Lipsett, Team MyP. So I got stuff for tomorrow. I am planning on getting room service with Sarah now, but I also want to get like a really light workout in. Just in the hotel gym, like nothing heavy, nothing extreme, just so like I wake up tomorrow kind of feeling good. So I'm gonna suss that out in a bit. Are we getting room service now or later? Now. Sweet. So we're gonna get some room service now and then we're gonna hit the gym after and go to bed. All right, so room service came, the tiredness just hit me, so the gym is gonna have to wait till the morning, whatever. Uh, so I went because I haven't had much veggies today, I got like the chicken salad, and then Sarah obviously goes Ruins everything with a massive plate of chips. I got salad too. I'm secretly glad she got them. And then just gonna have some vitamin water as well. So guys, wrapping things up here. Cannot wait for the first day of the expo tomorrow. See you there. Keep it real.
