Las Vagas

I had a good time in Las Vegas. It started off slow. I didn't arrive to the WYNN Hotel until 10pm on Friday night. Needless to say, everyone was out. So I got brave and went down to the hotel bar to have a night cap by myself. (They make an awesome Cosmo.) I met a few locals and ended up staying out way too late. The next day the company took a bunch of us to the Hoover Dam. That was real interesting and I took a bunch of pictures. Saturday night was a Cocktail party, Sunday was the conference all day (8:00 am to 5:00 pm) then a dinner with awards. My office got an award for breaking 100million under management (picture to follow). Later that night a bunch of us walked to the Bellagio to watch the Fountains (but of course it was too windy and they weren't running). I tried to gamble, but I'm not a lucky person. I put $10 in a poker machine and lost it in 10 minutes, then I tried Keno, only to lose all my money with a push of a button. No clue how that worked so I gave up. I had a better time just hanging out with colleagues. It took a while for then to warm up to me (believe it or not). I am only 1 of 4 women Financial Advisors in the whole firm. Of which none of the other women Advisors were at the conference. So for the most part, I think everyone thought I was a staff member. Until the Award dinner, when I went up to get the award and get my picture taken with Adam. After that, people started talking to me.

I started this blog saying that the Weekend started out slow, because for the most part I was by myself and not a whole lot of people were talking to me, but as the weekend progress, I started meeting more people, introducing myself around, and ended up Sunday night @ 2:00am hanging out with Adam (by the way is the CEO and Founder)and his staff. And the best part of the whole weekend (not only did I get to sleep in a King size bed all by myself) I lost 3 pounds (now mardi Gras will put that right back on).
