I'm In Vegas!!!
 

I'm in Las Vegas for The World of Concrete show. I'm not much of a gamber, so I'm in need of recommendations on how to spend my free time (other than getting online and browsing the OSO message board). Any restaurants, shows, etc...would be welcomed.

the BELLAGIO and say HI to

I heard that the Cheetah Club was a fun place to hang out!

:eek: :p :p

We saw the "O" show at the Bellagio
over christmas, it was very good,
also saw the Blue Man Group at the
Luxor last year, good, but not as good
as the "O" show, in my opinion.
Either, you won't go wrong.

"Fountains at the Bellagio":confused:
I never saw any Fountains....., I didn't see
any Scarabs, Formula's, Skaters, Cigarette's,
any boats for the matter:D :D :D

Thanks for the input. Scarabrick, expect a call from me in the morning.

Ricochet, the world of concrete if you have never been, is a good show. Make sure you hit as many hospitality suite's as you can,
shrimp, crab,drinks ect.
Have fun.

Not sure i f the Guggenheim Bike exibit is still at the Venician...would be somthing to check out if it is...We'll be there in a couple weeks..just as you are bored !!!!...what exactly is the Concrete Show ....anything to do with shoes ??. I am in need of a few pairs....

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, 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!

:D :D :D :D



Be ware of anybody arriving on an international
flight, that doesn't speak the language, they
have no concept of the meanings of :

1. Please

2. THANK YOU


3. EXCUSE ME

The Guggenheim is a permenant(long term) display. It is a must see.

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?

I'm going to be in Vegas next week. :D

I can't wait to get away from these freezing temps and snow.

Scarabrick.

I just tried you again at the Bellagio to say thank you for your offer to take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Bellagio fountains. I would have loved to have taken the tour, being a closet engineer and all, but time with my clients at the World of Concrete show took priority.

Again, many thanks for the offer.
