But it's true! We do love the Vegas and it loved us back last week. We just got home from a fun couple of days in the city. Adam has been for a brief trip or 2, and I’ve been only once as a high schooler, so we were both excited to get re-acquainted.
Every year, the mother of photo conferences, WPPI, happens in Vegas and our schedule finally worked out this year to attend. We stayed 2 nights at the MGM Signature which we loved. It’s attached to the main MGM but much quieter and less Vegas than the casino hotels ~ it was perfect! We would definitely recommend it! Our view:
We drove through some SNOW to get to Vegas:
then headed down the Strip to Dos Caminos, a fabulous Mexican restaurant in the Palazzo recommended by our friends and Vegas connoisseurs the Ma’ins. The tableside guacamole, shrimp/mushroom quesadilla, and ahi tuna did not disappoint.
*Side note: Dos Caminos was the location of the infamous Heidi vs. Spencer vs. Bolthouse Productions throw-down in Vegas where he came to “win her back”.
After dinner we wandered our way home through the Forum Shoppes and Caesar’s Palace, and ended up back at the MGM for our first round of Blackjack. Thanks to some prep from our friends and a little bit of Lady Luck, we ended up walking away with about $230 more than we arrived with from our 3 days there! Vegas is fun when you win!
We spent the next day listening to speakers, attending workshops, and checking out all of the latest photo industry news and products. It’s so inspiring to be around others in the same biz as me, and I really learned tons and walked away with tons of great ideas for this year. It was a little overwhelming but really great!
Dinner was at Nobhill, a Michael Mina restaurant in MGM where we had a celebrity sighting (Andre Agassi) and another wonderful dinner.
Our last day, we finished the conference in the morning and headed to the Bellagio for lunch and walk-through.
Don’t miss this gem ~ the Guinness–certified world’s largest chocolate fountain ~ nice!
Overall it was SUCH a fun getaway and we can’t wait to go back!
