I have been to Vegas a few times and was really impressed with how nice this hotel was. My room was the nicest I have ever stayed in with curtains that operated on a switch and a full blown bathroom with two sinks and separate shower and bath tub. I also had a pretty good view of the strip:
They had all kinds of neat stuff (besides the casino) like the world's tallest chocolate fountain, the colored glass in the lobby, and of course the lighted dancing fountains in the front of the hotel:
I got there on Sunday and we had dinner at Noodles in the Bellagio and then we went to a poker tournament that I set up at Treasure Island (map). It was myself and a couple of my managers and another guy I work with. There were 9 rounds and none of us made it past the 5th round. I'm not sure about the other guys, but I was just getting crappy cards and there was nothing I could do about it. Later that night, my manager and I played some limit Hold 'Em at the Bellagio poker room. It was good times but I didn't win again :)
The conference started on Monday. We ate at the Bayside Buffet at Mandalay Bay (map) for dinner. This was one of the highlights for me cause it had king crab legs and sushi. I ate so much crab legs and sushi it was ridiculous. I felt so sick for a couple hours after eating but it was totally worth it :) Later, we went and played blackjack at a nearby casino until 3AM in the morning.
Pure is a really popular nightclub where a lot of the celebrities hang out (I didn't see any). There was really fancy food and open bar of all the most top shelf liquors. All of the bartenders and waitresses were pretty much half naked and very "enhanced". Hey, I'm not complaining :)
Wednesday I made my presentation and then headed to the airport. Unfortunately, the best flight I could get was at 7:50PM Pacific. So, I didn't even get into KC airport until after 1AM Central and didn't get to my house until 2:30AM. Oh well, I'll do what it takes to go to Vegas!
