Vegas Recap

So as I said in another post, I got to go to Vegas for a leadership conference they were holding for the Southwest and Mountain Plains Regions. It was AMAZING! We stayed in New York New York, there were over 300 people there and we ALL got our own room, can you believe that?? They had an amazing cocktail hour the first night there before an even better award banquet that was black and white themed. The next day was full of guest speakers, which were even more great and followed by some break out sessions. That night a few girls and I went to see the Cirque Du Soleil show "O" and WOW!! I had been to one before but this one was alot of water tricks, it's like a normal show but with specialized divers along with it. So wonderful! After that we followed up with dinner at Bobby Flenn's (not sure if that's if his last name or not, some really famous chef) restaurant called Mesa. The last day we had two great really motivating women speakers that spoke on the twelve steps to career advancement. Emily even drove to visit for a bit from California! We only spent a little bit of time together but it was worth it! And no I didn't win big but man, great first trip spent with the University of Phoenix. Only problem now is that I expect it to be that great every time!!


Me at Caesar's Palace in the main lobby, it's so great in there!!
Infront of the fountain show at the Bellagio, did I spell that right??

Jordan (Training Administrator), Aimee (CEL, Business Development Specialist)
and Me (Marketing Analyst)
We had some great fun!

I ended up having to go into work the morning after I got back (today) but I tell you one thing, it's so much more motivating to go into work after being able to attend on of these. So it wasn't all bad. Now I am just playing catch up on some sleep along with taking care of some things I couldn't do during the week. Wouldn't trade it for the world though!

Loved Vegas when we went. I'm glad you had a great time.


I'm excited to do this Fireproof thing with B. I think it will bring our relationship to a different level.
