Vegas – Days 9, 10 & 11…

We've had SUCH a busy week here at EHP, sorry for the lack of posts! Here's the last of my Vegas posts with some very cool photos to check out from the trip! 🙂 I loved the decor inside of the Paris Hotel…

And inside of the hotel rooms…very Victorian and ornate… 

On Day 9, we went back to the trade show to talk to all of our favorite exhibitors and to find out more details about their products and services. (Tip to photographers: when you go to WPPI, you'll end up with a lot of the same exhibitors info in your trade show bag! We spent the first two days of the trade show collecting information then on the 2nd night of the show, we spent a few hours sorting through it all and pitching what we didn't need. It helped save space in our suitcases and it allowed us to take the remaining information and write a list of questions for each of the companies we are considering using this year. We used the trade show floor map to map out the 3rd day of the show to quickly get back to just those vendor's booths who we needed to talk to and ask questions. That system worked beautifully this year!! I looked like a "woman on a mission" with my map, pen and list of questions with me! LOL) The last speaker we heard on day 9 was Jeff Hawkins who talked about creating awesome portrait albums for your clients – something we're definitely going to do more of this year!! On Day 10, we spent the entire day at the Venetian and had a blast!!! 

We're not gamblers but the penny slots were fun…LOL 

This wasn't a statue, it was an actual person! You couldn't even tell until he blinked! 

Our favorite ice cream stand…Cocolini's 

After we enjoyed the music and shopping at the Venetian, we went to the wax museum next door…check out these AWESOME pics! 

Before we left for Vegas, I got tickets to see Wayne Brady who has a show at the Venetian called "Making %@it up" It was HILARIOUS! If you've ever seen him on "Whose Line is it Anyway?" then you would LOVE his show! Unfortunately they were super strict about not taking pictures in the theater (I saw one lady get a laser pointed in her camera when she tried!) so I wasn't able to shoot any pics of him but if you're in the area, definitely go to his show!! 

Day 11 was our travel day back home…we were sad to leave but glad to be heading back home to see our families and our wonderful clients for the start of wedding season. 🙂 Since we stayed an extra few days on the front end and back end of the convention, we missed all of the long lines at the airport, hotel and taxi stands…woo-hoo!! The Vegas airport is so funny…they have these oxygen bars and slot machines right next to one another…LOL…had to throw in these last few pics…
