Vegas Convention...

So every two years my company hosts our National Operators Seminar at a fabulous location. Typically at these events (I have only been to 6) we spend a ton of money on needless crap to impress our operators and this year was no exception... We stayed at the exquisite Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Dad and I got into town the afternoon before the seminar and stayed at the Rio - he hit the craps table while I hit the club with the girls. In my ripe old age I don't make it to the dance clubs anymore as I usually have church in the morning - well with little responsibility the next day I danced the night away! We went to The Bank - a very high end exclusive club in town...

forgive the poor resolution pics... there was hot sweaty dancing, falling glitter/bubbles and lots of hooping and hollering... it was a fun night...

The next day after working all morning I went to check into my room at the Bellagio - WHAT A DISASTER - I waited in a very long line to check in and finally got a room way across the casino up 14 floors all the way at the end of the hall - I trekked up to my door to find that both keys they gave me at the desk did not work... bummer... I called the desk and they sent security "right up to let me in" 15 min later this guy showed up to let me into a dirty room... I was really disappointed... So I hiked all the way back to the desk and calmly stated my complaint... the guy was genuinely embarrassed and apologetic... he promptly handed me keys to a suite on the 24th floor - SCORE! I have never stayed in a room like this in Vegas - ever...

It was on a corner so I had three windows with two views, one of the pool area and the other facing West Vegas and the mountains...

I think the coolest part of the room was the electric curtains that revealed the awesome view.

This curtain was over my spa jet bathtub - needless to say I took 3 baths while I was there watching the view as I relaxed with the jets...
