What Happens In Vegas...

...is featured in my pictures. I went overboard per usual. Whatever. Conferences in Vegas deserves photo love.

People say everything's bigger in Texas; I say it's Vegas. They certainly do their best to make everyone feel like a high roller. I work too hard for my $$ to gamble it away, but I totally played a few slots for like 5 minutes. Then Lost. And was over it. To be honest, I'm not a huge Vegas person, but definitely not complaining about a good time had there during a conference and am very thankful I got to go! :) I mean...70 degrees, poolside, a break from some recent frustrations... *sigh* :) 

I arrived and gasped when I saw the tv in my bathroom (to the left of the sink). I'm easily impressed. Hi, my name is Jax and I watched Matt Lauer while getting ready in the morning. Anyway, I got there and we (window) shopped...ate...and dropped (sleeping by like 11 Vegas time)

Thursday, we conferenced it up and then went out a little. We look like we went out a LOT b/ we went quite a few places thanks to a friend's friend and his connections, but we didnt get "Vegas crazy" by any means. We had a blast and still made it to breakfast by 8am. :) 

We started at Tryst b/c we had some passes since we stayed in the Wynn. And uh, I may have felt 21 again when the bouncer came to the part of the line Michele and I were waiting...and pulled us out of line to take us inside (after confirming we were two girls-alone). It was totally dumb..I know I know, but I didnt resent the 14 dollar drink quite as much thanks to it. 
Our friend's friend met us at Tryst and took us to Ghost Bar, Playboy and Moon (he worked at the Palms) to overlook the city... And there's a portion of the floor that's totally glass...seeing allll the way to the sidewalk 40 floors down! See me standing on it (til some guy started stomping on it and scared me).

Note the toilet paper in my shoes at Moon. My heels-not the best idea. *shrug*

Playboy Club! It's more just a lotta gaming tables, but it.had.seats. Things about being 27 and not 21 anymore=Jax likes seats. I also made the nice bunny take a picture with us. She was thrilled. ha. Right. 


Friday, we checked out at noon after the conference, ate some lunch, shopped around, and hit the Wynn pool til the sun went behind Encore (big buildings everywhere-not great for bronzing oneself..hah) The pool is HUGE-it wraps around to the left in front and has another section behind where I took the pic.


What I wouldn't give for some more extended fun in the sun! But, I'm very thankful for last week. And I got some great info at the conference, too and plan to use. Workshops, conferences, etc, can really energize and this one came at a good time. I feel like the economy is such a downer b/c everyone is so stressed about everything. If you have a job, you're stressed about keeping it; if you dont, you're stressed about finding one. Crazy stuff. I found myself thinking "how are there so many people here GAMBLING?!" Then, I shut my brain off and enjoyed myself. :)
