Day 429, Wednesday in Las Vegas

The weather has not been what I expected and it is cool, windy and rainy.  The talk of all the locals is how great the rain is and happy they are to see it.  Todays conference events at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which is located right at the Las Vegas Hilton.  This one of the main reasons why we booked at the Hilton, but what we didn't figure on is sheer size of the convention center and the fact that our conference is literally at the absolute other end of the center.  This wouldn't seem like that big of deal usually but the size of the convention center can only be described as massive.  We estimated that it had to be a mile from the Hilton lobby to the location of our conference.  Most of the trek could be done inside which was nice since it was rather stormy and wet out.

The Wynn and Encore Hotels and Casinos
 are the coppery buildings and over 30 stories
On one of the outside portions of the walk, I was able to snap a picture of the Wynn and Encore Hotels and Casinos which were the host hotels.  The walk to these hotels was about 2 miles from the Hilton and we had walked that after last nights event.

The conference today was very productive and we were able to meet with several potential clients.  Tonight is a "free" night and we did not have any formal events scheduled.

Back at home I have not heard anything from Justin and the progress of the Traveleze, which leads me to believe that there isn't nothing new to report.  I know he was expecting another trailer, so it might have showed up.  I also know he is expecting a big project that he told me he would have to stop work on the Traveleze for a few weeks, so perhaps that's what has happened.  I would really like to be there to watch the progress anyway, so I'm content.

With tonight being a free night we ate in the Hotel, and I played the slot machine spending my $10 in a hurry.  The weather outside seemed to be a little less stormy, so I put on my running shoes and went for run.  I ran past the Stratosphere and then down the strip for quite a while before it started to rain.  I estimated I ran about 5 miles.
