Vegas, Concluded

April 9, 2008 | In: Friends, Travel, Work

Is it bad that I’m writing this nearly a month since I was in Las Vegas?

Yes, it is, but I’m still going to do it.

To be honest, there isn’t a ton to report. The majority of the rest of my time in Las Vegas was spent working in a cold, loud data center cramped for space with some of my co-workers.

Fortunately, I had time to see more of my friends out there: Rick and Allison. Rick and I have known each other for years online, but didn’t get a chance to hang out until recently. Allison used to be my manager when I worked for ExchangeNet in Cleveland way back in 1998. It was great to see them both!

Me and the Rat

In conclusion, I’m convinced that I wouldn’t visit Las Vegas if it weren’t for my job. I can’t really see myself visiting there otherwise, except for the people I know, but at least I got a chance to experience Las Vegas a little bit and add it to the list of places I’ve seen.

It was great to see you too, Matt! As for Vegas, it is certainly not for everyone. As a resident, the only thing I really like seeing on the Strip is the fountain show at the Bellagio. However, if I had tickets to see my favorite bands, I’d brave the traffic on the Strip to see them. Oh, and I’d go back to Pampas restaurant too (Brazilian). That’s about it. But I do hope that if you come back you have time for a few things OFF the Strip- there’s a whole ‘nother Vegas out there!
