"You're definitely not in Kansas anymore," Jessi said to herself as she stared in awe at the hotel's lobby. Crystal chandeliers cast the entire area in soft, golden light. The sound of running water from the fountains overpowered the din of voices and the scent of fresh flowers saturated the air.

She smiled as a young man gathered her bags and motioned her forward. She followed him in a daze to the elevators, waiting while it traveled to the bottom floor.

"That's the same look I had on my face when I got here."

Jessi turned her head and grinned. "Faith!" Her oldest friend laughed and Jessi threw her arms around her, hugging her tightly before stepping back. "My God, you still look twelve!"

Standing just over five foot tall, Faith braced her hands on her hips and scowled. She was still tiny and looked like a china doll with fair skin, short black hair and large green eyes. She was petite but with enough sensual curves to turn the head of every guy looking her way. She wasn't a classic beauty but add in the quirky attitude, a distinct southern accent and she was definitely one of the cutest girls Jessi had ever known.

"I do not," Faith said. "Name one twelve year old with boobies this big?"

"Uh, Sandy Rogers did."

"Did," she said. "Name one now."

"Do I have to?"

Faith grinned. "No."

"How long have you been here?"

"Since yesterday," Faith answered. "Wait until you see the rooms Joan reserved for us."

"Well if they're anything like this hotel."

"They are," Faith said.

The elevator doors opened and Jessi entered behind the man with her bags, followed by Faith. She stared around the interior of the enclosure. Glass walls gave a scenic view of the entire hotel and she took it all in before Faith moved to stand beside her.

"This town is amazing, Jess. I haven't seen this much neon since the Jody Burger got the new flashing sign out by the highway."

"The Jody Burger is still in business?"

"Believe it or not," Faith said.

"I don't."

Faith turned and leaned back against the glass. "Wait until you see the hotel. There's more nightclubs, bars and restaurants than I could count, not to mention fancy shopping boutiques and a casino all right here on the premises. Oh, and the wedding chapel is inside the hotel, too," she said. "It's the swankiest thing I've ever seen. Makes my daddy's church look like an outhouse."

Jessi grinned. "I'm sure the Reverend would love to hear you referring to his sanctuary as an outhouse."

"It's the truth," Faith said. "Besides, it's not like he'll ever find out I said it."

"That sounds like the Faith I know," Jessi said. "You're not planning on going buck-ass wild this week are you?"

"Are you going to tell on me if I do?"

"No." Jessi grinned. "What happens in Vegas..."

"Stays in Vegas!"

The elevator doors opened and the girls followed the man with the bags out. The floor they'd stopped on looked much like the lobby. Fountains and an open reception area filled with live plants and flowers.
