That week Vegas took over my life

I like work trips.

They're
A. Free
B. Free
C. Free

Since my job doesn't require travel, the only times I do so are when conferences are involved. Luckily, conferences tend to be held in neat places. 

Last week was spent in Sin City at the Cosmopolitan hotel. 
Woooweeee that hotel is awesome. I somehow ended up in a suite that was decorated to the nines.
I'm certainly not complaining.

Our after conference party at Marquee was not too shabby either.
I may have ended up in the penthouse for an after-after party as well.
And then at another nightclub.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, y'all.

Chandelier Bar at the Cosmo.

Vegas sunrise from my room.


This damn machine took my $20!! I hate gambling, and this further proved that fact.

Really weird drink that I'm not sure I recommend. It's basically a margarita, but you eat that little flower and it makes your whole mouth tingle in a not so nice way.

Yes, there was a snake lady at our post-conference party, and yes I went to nightclubs dressed in my business casual attire.


View from the penthouse.


I need to plan more conferences!
