My trip to Las Vegas was, for the most part, amazing.
I'll get the bad parts out of the way - sinus problems with a cough and earache. A very scummy hotel and the room was narsty.
Dehydration, with mangled feet and cankles from too much booth time.
The rest of it was amazing.
It's a city with plenty going on. I ate great food, saw customers, made contacts, had fun with my colleagues and had a few moments of extreme wonderful.
The first instance of extreme wonderful came with a last minute invitation to see a Cirque du Soleil show. KA. Sadly, KA made the news a few days later after a performer fell and died.
Here's what I can tell you about that. From what I saw, the precautions taken to keep their performers safe and well were impressive - no shortcuts. And the performers were skilled and completely engaged. It's a tragic mishap, and I fully believe that the people at Cirque will do whatever it takes from preventing further incidents like this one.
I will tell you, though - it was one of the most beautiful, stunning events I've ever been privy to. I am honored to have had the chance to see it.
Now, the other jaw-dropper was my tour at Zappos. I'm going to do a special write up just for that. It deserves it.
Spoiler alert, though....
WOW!
