wrong," Evette continued mysteriously.
"You'll have a lot more to show for it than a dent. Don't ask me to fill you in on the details, but thanks to my superb snooping and research skills, I managed to convince your travel agent to exchange your honeymoon for a trip to Las Vegas!"
"How the hell did you convince them to do that?" Nicole asked incredulously.
"I lied and said that your fiance had died, so you had to cancel the honeymoon."
"Evie! You are incorrigible!" Nicole shrieked. "You said Paul was dead! I can't believe you lied about something so serious? You've probably jinxed him now."
"Jinxed, shminxed," Evette laughed.
"What if something horrendous happens to him? It'll be our fault!"
"Oh, get over it, Nicole. Let's not forget how badly he has treated you. A bit of pain and suffering wouldn't do him any harm if you ask me. Anyway, forget about Paul. Everything's booked. Hurry up and pack. Our flight leaves at midnight."
"It's eight o' clock now. How will we get to the airport on time?"
"Leave it with me, sis. Everything's under control. Ben is picking us up at half past nine to drive us to the airport. Las Vegas here we come!"

"This is like a different world," Nicole gasped. She peered out the window as their plane was coming in to land.
"I know, it's amazing," Evette smiled smug, as if she had personally created the whole landscape.
One minute all they could see was desert, the next, their window was filled with brilliant views of neon lights, skyscrapers and lines of traffic.
"It looks like an island that's floating in the sand," Nicole breathed in awe. "It's completely crazy!"
"That's what we've come for, sis; the craziness. If we can't party in Vegas, then where can we party?"
"I wonder if it's going to be anything like the movie, "The Hangover". It was about a wild stag trip to Las Vegas."
"Some of my friends have been here before and they said that it's all about the clubs and nights out, but I've got a sneaking suspicion that these nightclubs are on a completely different scale to the clubs that we know back home. I read on the internet that some of them can accommodate thousands of people and are ten times bigger than the clubs in Ireland."
"There's no comparison really." Nicole was beginning to look a little nervous.
"Where are we staying?" Nicole asked her sister, as they made their way through customs and passport control.
"We're staying at The Hard Rock Hotel," Evette replied, struggling to push her overloaded suitcase in front of her.
"Is that part of the Hard Rock Cafe chain?"
"It sure is."
"I wonder if we'll meet any famous people?"
"Hopefully we will. I read that Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton and Lauren Conrad from The Hills have all been seen there. Lady Gaga made her first Las Vegas appearance at The Hard Rock."
They hailed a cab which took them to their hotel.
"This place is huge," Nicole seemed totally awe-struck as they entered the hotel foyer.
"Yes it's totally awesome," Evette agreed. "It's the perfect place to lose ourselves for a few days. We can eat, drink and party as much as we want without having to worry about bumping into anyone we know from home. Las Vegas was the least romantic place that I could think to take you on holiday, but also the most fun."
"I'm sure we'll have a fantastic time, in fact I know it will be outstanding. I can feel the party atmosphere already."
The girls dumped their luggage in their bedroom and quickly made their way back downstairs to The Hard Rock Cafe. They ordered an ice-cream cocktail and sat back to soak up the Las Vegas atmosphere.
"I'm absolutely mesmerised," Nicole smiled at her sister. "My eyes aren't big enough to take everything in."
"I know what you mean," Evette laughed. "Last month I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I'd be sitting in The Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas."
"It's very cool, isn't it? This place is full of rock'n'roll memorabilia. Look, there's a cape that was worn by Jimi Hendrix
