Las Vegas Trip

Well, I know it's almost 2 weeks since I went to Vegas, but hey, I was hoping I could get some pictures. But after looking at the pictures I think I wont post them :P

Anyways, it was OK for the most part. The CES shows really didn't have much there besides Creative's Zii, A new 3-D TV that doesn't require the glasses (will still hurt your eyes though), and SanDisk's new format for their memory cards that is said to allow 2TB (yes, 2,000GB, or 2,000,000MB, or 2,000,000,000KB) into one SD card. I think they called it SD XC. The biggest and most interesting display was Microsoft's Cloud section. If you don't know Cloud is Microsoft's tag name for all entertainment into one. It is the central location (figurative nothing physical) that puts the TV, mobile, PC, Digital Entertainment, and gaming together. The Windows 7 display was my favorite in fact I put Windows 7 on my laptop and so far I am loving it. Runs faster than Vista and already I have less compatibility problems with it (And it's only a beta version).

The best part of the trip was the night I spent in The Mirage hotel. I have never ever slept so well. The bed was AWESOME! In fact I didn't wake up until 11am the next morning. Then again I wasn't in bed until 5am but hey.

I spent some time with co-workers and found out they enjoy gambling, even when the odds are against them. I did gamble a little bit, I put $60 in a video poker machine and left the hotel (Hotel Wynn) with $260. So all in all not a bad night.

It was fun, could have been a lot funner but hey, better than playing WoW on the weekend right?
