Default GF wants to take me to Vegas for b-day. Make her just buy me something?

I've never been to Vegas and I've expressed interest in going, so the lady said she'd take me for my birthday. This would probably end up costing a couple hundred bucks for 2 nights, but she won't tell me how much she's spending.

I figure if she's willing to spend that kinda moolah on me, why not put it into something material, like a new TV, like a 27" digital flatscreen from APEX (currently only have an old 15" RCA), or towards a new guitar, or an Xbox which I've wanted forever.

I haven't brought this up to her, cause it almost seems like I'd be taking a gift and throwing it back in her face. My b-day's in late May, but we're already planning on going for her b-day in late July. It feels kinda selfish, but it is my b-day. Whad'ya think?

vegas... you will have more sex with her in a two day period than you ever have at home... it is something they put in the water... err... wait... its because they hand you a drink every where you go... all hours.

you will spend more than 200 though... no matter how hard you try.

What's the point in goign to Vegas twice in one year?

I dunno, I feel like giving gifts are about making the person happy, so how can she do that if she doesn't know what you really want? Tell her you want the tv, but thanks for the trip anyway. Tell her you'd like to tkae her somewhere fun later on, but for now, you'd like the tv so you two can watch the pr0n up close and personal.

Yeah. When I imagined Vegas, I imagined going w/ my buddies. Not w/ a girlfriend, but I'll take what I can get, I guess.

Go to Vegas, she's making a nice gesture. It's a win-win situation. She'll be happy that she could do something cool for you, and you'll be in Vegas.

And you will have a lot of sex there with your girl. Unless she's a compulsive gambler, then you'll just end up loaning her money that she'll never pay back.

Did you actually pay to go in there? Me and a buddy were in Vegas and we walked around the joint until we realized that you had to pay to get into the Star Geek Experience. No thanks. Rather piss my money away at a $5 blackjack table drinking Crown Royal.

Always ask for cash instead - The car has a bday too, and it expects a nice gift from you.
