I just got back from VEGAS! (LOTS of pics!)

So, I just got back from Las Vegas. The graphics crew from my company took a 5 day break from work and took off to an expo called NAB (National Assoc. of Broadcasters). This is a show where every media related company in the world gets together and shows off what's new in the multimedia industry. This show was HUGE!

Here's a picture of all 4 of us that went, from Left to Right:
Me, Javier 1 (aka J1), his wife Juliette, and then Javier 2 (J2)..yep..two Javiers.

Those are just some of the Vegas pictures...i'm still waiting to get the pictures from another camera..so I will update this thread as they come in...The last day we went there, we decided to venture outside of Vegas and visit some of the scenery. This is our trip up to a mountain..i don't recall the name.

Yep they sure did! Those were some gorgeous butterflies...i wish I had pictures of them.

me too, my camera died right before we got there, too many pictures of the crazy hand blown glass ceiling....

Looks like a great trip. I still think you should have tried that roller coaster though. ;)

Hey, Nate, I think you have a boogie!:O
Okay, maybe not...
Looks like you had a good time, though! Gotta love "business" trips!

Nate it looks like you had fun :gj:.Yea the snow still in the area freaked me out last year(i went thru Reno in May) :O :O :P.

I am going to Vegas next week for my first time,is there something you HAVE to see or is everything cool?

Yep...Vegas at night is beautiful. I have some night pics somewhere...I will post them soon.

other than that... there's too much to see to really tell you to see just one thing ;)

Great pic Nate! I LOVE LOVE the tree-man!!!! :D

The pic of you standing on the rock is very nice too! ;)

Rocking pics, Nate :) Sounds like you had a blast!!!

Awesome awesome! I drove through reno once. It was hot. Never got by Las Vegas though. I need to work where you do, get me some business trips ;)
