Conference 2009 Part 1

A week ago today I go back from our North American Conference in Las Vegas. We stayed at a beautiful hotel off the strip. It is a brand new hotel built in November of 2008. The weather was beautiful!! So beautiful that on Sunday we had the opportunity to sit by the pool and get some sun.



Saturday was an interesting day. We got to the airport in Vegas around 1:00 in the afternoon. Lisa and I went to claim our bags and my bags were no where to be found. After talking to the airport people behind the desk it turns out that my luggage was on the next plane in from Charlotte. Which I should have figured because I had 10 mins. between when my plan landed and when my next flight left. Once we got to the hotel and checked in, we told the front desk about my luggage. They said they would let me know when it was dropped off. We then went to TGIFriday's for a snack. When we were eating we started talking about my problem. See that night we were going to see 'O' the Cirque Du' Soleil show at the Bellagio. I was so excited, until I lost my luggage. I had nothing to wear. After our meal we stopped by the desk and they hotel staff said not to count on it showing up until after 9:00 pm. Our show was at 7:30 and we were leaving at 6:00. After looking in the gift shop for something to wear and going to the room, I found some clothes to borrow of Lisa's. So I jumped in the shower and started getting ready. As I'm getting ready the phone rings. It's the front desk. They guy says "You'll never believe this, heck I don't, but we just got your luggage. I'll bring it right up" So of course I started jumping up and down and screaming. I was so happy to have my luggage and to be able to wear my clothes to the show. The show was amazing!!! I would definitely recommend seeing it if you are in Vegas.

After the show we walked around Caesar's for a little while. Another beautiful hotel. All of the hotels in Vegas are beautiful.

There is more to tell about conference, which I'll post more. Let's just say I had luck with the pennies and that our PA team kicked some major butt!!!
