Sin City was a blast!

Well, I've been back from Vegas for a few days but was so exhausted from not sleeping for 3 nights :-) that I tried to take lots of naps for a while and then it turned out that I managed to catch a cold somewhere in my travels so I've been sicker than a dog for the last two days. I even left work after being there for only 2 hours today. Considering the fact that I've only taken 3 sick days in the last 8 years, it's pretty serious. I am planning on being better by tomorrow morning though!

Vegas... It was exactly what I expected and then some! I can't say that I've committed any sins that I can't share with the world (fortunately or unfortunately :-)
Monday night:
I arrived around 6:30pm and grabbed a cab to the hotel. Even though I didn't know anyone coming to this conference, I talked to one of the girls via email ahead of time. Rene and I agreed to get together and do something on Mon. night upon arrival.

We freshened up and headed out to explore the city. Had dinner at Stack, a fabulous restaurant at the Mirage Casino. Met a crazy guy (remember this one, I'll give you a recap of our conversation with him some other time.)

Rene said that a friend of hers was from Vegas, so she called a friend of a friend of a friend who was a concierge and knew about what was going on in the city. He put us on the VIP list at Jet (the hottest nightclub at the Mirage). We were seriously scared that the bouncers will kick us out because we had no tickets, we just knew a name to ask for, and then tell this guy we knew so and so. Amazingly, it worked! It was the coolest club I've ever been to. Even though we were pretty tired from the trip, we powered through it and danced till 3 am.

By the way, I was blown away by the guys with brooms, flashlights and dustpans at this club. They appeared out of nowhere within a second of someone dropping or spilling something! Unreal!

Needless to say, the next morning was rough but there was so little time and so many things to see and do...
