Nasty Habit.
The World of Concrete is an 'A to Z' show about everything concrete in commercial and residential construction. From concrete slabs that can be customized, including painting, to look like more expensive tile flooring to the BIG IRON (trucks, boom pumps, crushing equipment, including one of my clients, to miscellaneous stuff). As Tim Allen would say, "AR AR AR AR"! But in a nutshell it's a chance for contractors and their crews to come out to Vegas in the middle of winter, tear-up the town and look at construction equipment at all hours of the day with a beer in their hand. I can't tell you how many times during the day I hear this phrase, "I want to check this (heavy equipment) out, can you hold my beer." In fact, if you don't have a beer in your hand, a cell phone to your ear and a belt buckle the size of a Toyota hubcap holdin' up your jeans, your an outcast. Really, it's a pretty fun gig! The show attendees are having fun and they're great to talk with. J-Boat. You're right. Hospitality suites are definitely the ticket out here. It sounds like you've had the pleasure of attending before. Ricochet. |
Ricochet, my dad (Harry Chalmers) went to the show to every year before he retired. Strange & Chalmers - Northern Calif. Bay Area Do you know of them? Just curious. They do curb, gutter & sidewalk. Some of those machines are AMAZING. The show was always one he looked forward to. I think my brother is attending now. Have fun!

Hell, just hang on on the streets. You meet some interesting people out there and get lots of FREE literature!

Thanks everyone for the advice and recommendations! We just went to the NASCAR Cafe in the Sahara. Not impressed, to say the least. Actually, it was very disappointing and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant.
Rio, baby. That's where it's at!! Scarabrick. I enjoyed talking with you on the phone this morning. Thanks for the offer to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Bellagio fountains. Unfortunately, today I learned that I need to attend three press conferences in the morning, so I'm not going to be able to take you up on the offer. Definitely my loss. Props to you for the offer!! I'll give you a call in the morning before I head over to the convention center. Duchess. Admittedly, I'm not familiar with them, but you're right there are a bunch of amazing MONSTER MACHINES out here! Ricochet. |
Ricochet, yes I have been to several show's and alway's enjoy them, although I do like vegas the best. I was in New Orleans last year for the show,how about you?
