In Vegas for a Week

Well it’s that time of year again, off to Vegas for CES. This trip is always a lot of fun and it sure gives me a break from all of the holiday madness of the past month. It also is good to get out of Pittsburgh and the cold, although it is only around 50 degrees in Vegas it is sure a lot better than like 15-20 degrees in Pittsburgh, and there is no snow!

Getting through the Pittsburgh airport was very easy, there was no line at the security check at all. We went right through and were in the terminal within 10 minutes. Instead of going right to our gate Colin and I decided to grab food so we stopped in O’Briens, which is sort of like an Irish Pub. The food wasn’t that bad, I got a steak salad.

Once we boarded our plane we seriously waited for over 30 minutes waiting for them to load luggage on to the plane. After that our plane had to be de-iced, which took another 15 minutes. Takeoff was a little bumpy, but we are finally up in the air.

If you want to track my trip you can easily do that by following me on Twitter, friending me on Facebook, following my Flickr stream, or just by checking back to this blog. Also if you want to meet up when you are in Vegas please email me or shoot me a message on twitter.

I am in Vegas for CES, which I go to every year for ThinkComputers so make sure you follow the ThinkComputers twitter account as well.

It is pretty warm during the day but damn does the desert get cold at night….I know of a travel sight that has some great Vegas weather stats.

It is nice to get out of cold and snowy city into something warmer, greater and more Las Vegas-like And this salad also looks promising. I bet you had great week there.

I found this real quickly on youtube….at least you can hear the song. Not sure of its available to download because its from 2004 and was a bonus CD that came with the “Chariot” CD.

Vegas is probably the coolest place to hang out with all the glittering and grand hotels and casinos. People who like the glam will surely love Vegas.

Las Vegas is called the “City of Dreams” because it is known for creating millionaires out of ordinary people.
