Trip to Vegas

Surfaces 2008

I was in Las Vegas for several days last week. My first time in Vegas - I must say that is one crazy town! I was there to get the Orchid booth ready for one of our annual trade shows. This year, I was responsible for the whole show as Marketing Manager. We had a great booth thanks to the whole team of people that it took to put on this show!

Vegas was interesting. While it was nice to have nice restaurants and shopping around, and to see the bustling city at night, I found it quite sad to walk through the casinos where people where like zombies at the machine's will and control. One of my coworkers pointed out it seemed a lot like people and addictions to the Internet - just looking at a screen for hours or days. Even at the airport there are slot machines as soon as you get off the plane!

Well, I still enjoyed Vegas and have a lot of work to do before our next show in April in Orlando!
