Viva Las Vegas!<\/p>\n

Got back last night from this awesome conference<\/a> in Vegas!\u00c2\u00a0 (Wow, yes, I’m a geek.\u00c2\u00a0 Who else gets this excited about stuff like that?)\u00c2\u00a0 I went to classes four days in a row, and I think I learned more than my brain can possibly hold.\u00c2\u00a0 We’ll see if it sticks!\u00c2\u00a0 Anything that makes me smarter has to be a good thing (and a lot of work for the person trying to make me smarter!).<\/p>\n

I also managed to find a few moments to play some craps, my new favorite game.\u00c2\u00a0 I still don’t have clue number one as to what I’m doing, but it’s so fun!\u00c2\u00a0 And, the beauty of it is, if I’m conservative enough, I can play for several hours before losing ALL of my money.\u00c2\u00a0 And my last night there… I actually didn’t lose!!\u00c2\u00a0 By the time I quit, I’d was exactly even for the night!\u00c2\u00a0 Pretty exciting stuff for a rookie like me.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to the rest of the excitement, I also caught the implosion<\/a> of the Stardust from the super fancy Wynn resort.\u00c2\u00a0 How often do you get to catch a piece of history blown to bits?\u00c2\u00a0 Pretty cool stuff.<\/p>\n

The best sight, though, had to be one of the MANY wedding parties that you always see in Vegas… Usually, you see them looking all fancy and pretty in some nice resort hotel somewhere.\u00c2\u00a0 This is the first time, however, that I’ve seen the bride (and bridesmaids), in her gorgeous several-thousand-dollar satin gown, walking down the strip chugging a long neck Bud Light.\u00c2\u00a0 All class, I tell ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
