At BlogWorld Expo in Las Vegas Day 1

I arrived in Las Vegas yesterday (Thursday) and didn’t have an ounce of strength in my fingers to mash out a “Hello I’m Here!” blog post.  But today it’s on!

I’m here in Las Vegas for the BlogWorld Expo and even though it technically started yesterday, my pass (courtesy of John Chow) gives me access on Friday and Saturday.  Yesterday was my travel day and what a travel day it was!

Riviera Hotel RoomMy flight from Chicago had me up at 3:30am and when I arrived in Las Vegas, I couldn’t check into my room for 3 hours.  In that 3 hours I went to four different casinos, lost $20 on the stupid Star Wars slot, and ate breakfast at McDonalds.  It’s definitely not as fun doing Vegas alone.  Brilliant move on the hotel’s part to make everyone wait to check-in.  I decided it was simply a way to get us all into the casinos earlier than we intended.

By the time I got into my hotel room, I was spent.  The lack of sleep had caught up to me and I couldn’t find the energy to do anything else but collapse.  So, I did. For five hours!  Yikes!

But Day 1 in Las Vegas wasn’t all for naught.  I had tickets to the Cirque du Soliel LOVE show at The Mirage that night.  More about that next time.

For now, I’m excited to head out to my first day of speakers at the convention center.  Till next time!
