Free admission for speakers helps. And Tom, I know what you mean. In my house, when I put my foot down, I check to make sure it is OK with my wife first ;o)

Well, I tried to get on as a speaker... But my topic wasn't interesting enough, I guess.

Next time, I'll just make up some story about how I got 192 VM's on a single quad core box with 2GB of RAM. Then they can do a case study on me.

It's about 250' Give or Take! Take the bridge..:)

When you arrive at the hotel, you have to Pass the Venetian, so you will see it. The Venetian is the largest hotel / casino in the world.. so I don't think you will have any trouble figuring out which one it is.. :)

Yes, there is a Shopping Mall north of Venetian called the Fashion Show mall, it's within walking distance (but then everything on the main strip is). I am sure that's probably where she can spend a good bit of time.

Of course EVERY hotel has things to do and see.... She won't have ANY trouble. Just give her the ATM... :)

Apparently you have never seen him on the stage, live. I saw it, I would recommend it as one of the top shows to go see! It's a GREAT show, he is really funny. He does props, so maybe he isn't funny as comedian, but he puts on a VERY good show. It's worth it. Don't knock it until you see him..

Another is Penn and Teller and the best Show (besides Cirque) is Lance Burton at the Mirage. That to me is the BEST show on the strip.

Looks like they removed the roller coaster from the top and added the Insanity and X-scream rides.

When was the last time you have been in Vegas? The X Scream rides have been there for at least 4 or 5 years. The roller coaster was boring, just went around a circle, not much thrill there. The building top isn't big enough in circumference to make a roller coaster worth it, but the X-Screams are really cool. Especially the one that drops you off the edge of the building...

I saw him in college, and he was a riot... He didn't look like he does now.
