Arriving in Vegas for SPC09

So I arrived in Las Vegas last night to attend the annual SharePoint Conference. If you have never been to Vegas (like me) you are in for an exciting stay.

First of all, when you arrive in Vegas, the flight lands almost next to the "strip". So basically a 10 minute walk brings you to the hotel.

Another thing, I'm pretty used to commercials and advertisement, but LV is a different league.

On each item that has a minimal surface, you will find advertisement for e.g. nightlife, shows, clubs, casino's…and even guns.

Anyway, I got at the hotel just fine after a 13 hour flight plan.

Had some diner in one of the hotel's restaurants called "Tender" (great steaks btw) and got a good night's sleep (9:30PM-7:00AM).

Fully recharged, I walked to the Mandalay bay hotel this morning to get my badge. It's like a 25 minute walk from my hotel room to the registration desk….and the hotel is next door, right J

So I got the badge and some nice goodies (again more advertisement, but also a nice laptop sleeve). I think I was the first one to get the badge J

Today I will hit the town and do some sightseeing. Won't be too late, as Tomorrow it's time to suck up all that "2010" knowledge!
