  • The Sunday Sessions are opened to all registered attendees and the sessions are at MGM grand
  • There are shuttle buses from the different hotels
  • If someone is snapping cards on the Vegas Strip, its best you do not take their business cards.  If you don’t know what I am talking about.. you will before you leave vegas.
  • Bring more then one pair of shoes you will be doing a lot of walking
  • Know when to take it easy on the drinks
  • Each hotel has a different attraction worth checking out.  So do some home work.  Like the Bellagio fountains, Shark Reef ,  New York-New York rollar coster, Fremont Street 
  • What happens in Vegas no longer stays in Vegas, chances are your family will see what you have for dinner before you even taste it.  So keep it kool and remember this is still a cooperate place and you are representing your company
  • Always bet on Black
  • Time Zone and Jet lag + drinks and long days, early mornings will take a tool on you.
  • Bring your medication and a small pharmacy, or buy it when you arrive.
  • Sessions are kool but seeing what other are doing can be kooler, so go out and see the vendors, sponsors and Biz partners.  Plus gifts are nice too.
  • Meet the champions!! We are next to the food and drinks!!  Also if you know no one, we will gladly drink with you and party it up with you.

So See you there and stay safe
