MAGIC, we sure could have used some this afternoon…
Whew! It certainly has been quite the day and it’s not even close to being over yet. We got off to a good start, landing in Las Vegas about 30 minutes early. We were starving for lunch (it was already 1pm EST) and headed straight for the hotel so we could check in and hit the ground running…
After half an hour of waiting in line to get up to the reservation desk, the hotel needed a special authorization form for our rooms, so we had to get back in touch with our folks in Atlanta. About an hour later, we finally got the room situation sorted out and headed straight for the buffet. If you’re ever in Vegas, you DEFINITELY need to check out the buffet at the Aria, it’s the best – everything was so fresh and tasty!
Refreshed and revitalized, we were finally ready to hit the conference. We headed over to the Mandalay Bay Convention center – only to find that I had forgotten to bring cash for the cab and had to run into the lobby and hunt down an ATM while the cabby waited outside with Matt.
Thinking we were over the hump once we got the cabby taken care of, we both breathed sighs of relief and walked into the building…
We made our way through the maze of the lobby and headed for the huge “registration” sign, walked up and tried to pick up our badges. No luck. Turns out, we were at the registration for the Western Veterinary Conference! After making a few more stops for directions (I swear, I’m normally not directionally challenged!) we found the booth we were looking for and got our badges with plenty of time to walk the show floor and check out the latest street styles.
We’ll continue updating you as we have time to really check things out tomorrow, but here’s a sneak peek of the festivities to be found at MAGIC – a little bit different than CES, eh?
