Throughout each day I was at conference sessions from about 8:30 AM until 5 PM. Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker and I got to sit in the second to front row to see him. In the evenings there were some sponsored events and I did some site seeing. I ate at some nice places but the nicest was Picasso. This is a restaurant that literally is decorated with Picasso's. I was expecting an expensive meal between $100 - $125. This was the cheapest meal! The others were in the $250 with out alcohol range. The food I had was fantastic, but not as good as what we get at Niche, in St. Louis.
One of the sponsored events was a dance party with zombies! It was in a strip club and they were closed for the night, but the zombies danced up on the poles. It was definitely a fun and unique experience.
My favorite sponsored event was at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Microsoft rented the track for a concert and party. I got to ride around the track at 90 MPH 3 times! I also got to get my picture taken with Danica Patrick. We were able to walk around the pits and garage area as well as visit a Ferrari museum. It was all just awesome!
I went to the Celine Dion show and was transported back to college with all her hits. She has a very powerful voice and took at stab at being funny, but I'm not sure she pulled it off. I picked this show because I knew Andy would never go to it with me and I did enjoy myself.
I got to stay at the Venetian and my room was absolutely amazing. My last day in Vegas I also treated myself to a massage and afternoon at the spa. It was very relaxing and I snuggled up next to a sunny window and read my book while sipping cucumber water. It was so nice to just lay and do nothing and it has been a long time since I've done that.
All in all it was a great trip. I learned a lot at the conferences and enjoyed some alone time even thought I missed all three of my boys immensely!
