Well, I'd hoped to have a post about a recent trip to see Steve Vai in Chicago, but I'm still waiting for pictures, so that one will be waaay after the fact.
However, I did have a short business trip to Las Vegas this last week for the annual PFACC conference. We stayed at the Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort, about 10 miles outside of Las Vegas. Very pretty place. The picture below is a panoramic shot. You may need to view it at full size to get the full effect.
As can be expected, we spent one night experiencing the strip on Las Vegas. We were let off at the Bellagio. After going inside and seeing the sights, we stepped outside and watched the fountains. The picture below is a little grainy as I didn't want to use a flash, but you should get the effect. As hard as we looked, we couldn't find Danny Ocean or any of his friends.
Looking the other direction, you get an idea of how bright the lights are. This replica of the Eiffel tower was pretty awesome.
After checking out the Flamingo pools and some of the strip, I ventured by myself to the Hard Rock Cafe. I found out after I got there that the street that the Hard Rock is on is not as safe as the strip. Needless to say, I took a cab back to the Bellagio.
