Partner Conference in Las Vegas

That was the title of the email i received from one of my suppliers . I didn't have to think twice i replied with acceptance and let the planning begin.

The Cast: Me, Myself and I

The conference starts on Tuesday June 1st and finishes Thursday June 3rd. A long way to go for such a short time so I decided to add a couple of days on.

My plan so far goes something like this.

Main things I want to see and do along the way:

O booked for Thursday 3rd June at 19:30
Cheesecake Factory @ Caesars
Tony Romas in Fremont Street
Oxygen Bar New York New York
The piano bar at New York New York
Fontana Bar at the Bellagio
The Mix Bar at The Hotel Mandalay Bay - best views of the strip
Fountains at Bellagio
Volcano at Mirage
See the Lions and cubs at MGM
Fremont Street at night
waterfall at the Wynn
Forum shops
Prime outlet Mall

Monday 31st May

flying out of LHR direct with BA in Club World. Flight leaves at 16:10 and gets me in to Vegas at 18:50 local time.

Check in to the Four Seasons and spend some time exploring.

Tuesday 1st June

Conference starts today and will spend all day there. All food is included and in the evening they are putting on dinner entertainment and free drinks.

I am sure I will find some time late at night for a bit of gambling.

Wednesday 2nd June

More conference stuff during the day and then awards ceremony in the evening. More free food and drink so can't complain.

Thursday 3rd June

Conference all day lunch included and then it closes at 17:00.

The company is paying for this last night at the four seasons and dinner. After that I am picking up the bill myself.

I have booked O at the Bellagio for 19:30 and after that a quick bite to eat and then a night of poker.

Friday 4th June

I am moving in the morning to the MGM as I want to be a bit further up the strip and I got a link off here to a fantastic deal $108 a night. I wanted to stay further up the strip but for the Friday and Saturday night the prices are extortionate

Today is shopping day so I intend to do the forum shops and head up to the premium outlets.

For dinner I am heading to Prime and then I will spend the evening moving between casinos and bars enjoying myself and playing poker as I go.

Saturday 5th June

I have hired a custom street bike for the day an am heading off on a ride across Hoover Dam and then Red Rock Canyon, Boulder City. Wherever the mood takes me really but will be finishing off with the obligatory ride down the strip.

At night I plan to take a stroll to Bellagio to see the fountains and Mirage to see the volcano. I have a whole list of things to see and do that i will fit in somewhere along the way.

Will probably head down to Fremont street at some point this night.

Sunday 6th June

Final day to fit in anything I haven't already done that I wanted to do while I am there and as much poker as I can fit in.

Flight home BA Club World leaving Vegas at 20:40 getting me in at LHR for 14:30.

Not long now...
