Ahhh, nothing like a working vacation in Las Vegas to keep things interesting. I’ll be spending the next few days working (yes, working!) and playing in the world’s favorite playground. The cool thing is that my brother lives 4 hours away so he is driving out to spend some time with me, which is great because we usually only get to see each other once or twice a year. Lucky for him that he has recovery time while I’ll be working. This will also be an exciting business trip because I will also get to finally meet some colleagues that I have been working with for the past few years, but haven’t yet met in person. It should be a great experience and one I am looking forward to.

Thanks a lot for the link!

All of my vacations are working vacations. I would not have it any other way.
I hope you enjoy your Vegas trip and that you share some tips with us!
All that work/life balance stuff is overrated anyway! Have a great time.
Have fun at ASW! Make sure you check out the free tickets to the events they give out each day, they go quick and they won’t let you in without one.
Enjoy your time in Vegas! Can’t wait to hear what you learned!
Thanks for the link!
Have fun! Love to hear how it went.
“What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!!” Just kidding man, have a great time and hopefully, you are able to have some fun AND get your work done.
Thanks for the link! My wife and I are considering a trip to Vegas this summer, either there or Seattle.
