>>Hi Bonnie -

>>Well, the conference hasn't started yet, so there's still time!! :)
>>
>>Seriously, Vegas is a GREAT place for a conference!! I don't really like to gamble, but there is still a ton of things to see. I came a few days early so I'd have time to do some sightseeing before the conference. I had wanted to go to Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon(they are a short drive away), but really didn't have time.... there is so much to see right here! Great way to be able to write off a mini-vacation!! :)
>>
>>I'm anxious to go to the conference too.... Hopefully, I'll finally learn some Web Development stuff!!

>Hi Ellen,

>I know what you mean. I drove through Vegas to and from DevCon. Only spent a day on the way down, but was there for a few days on the way back. If you're into roller coasters, the one at New York, New York is good. Also drive 30 miles toward calif to Primm and go on the coaster at Buffalo Bill's. The coaster at the Stratosphere is very, very mild. It's just that you're up 112 stories.

I should add that the best ride in Vegas is the Star Trek experience at the LV Hilton. I was very underwhelmed by the Atlantis ride at Caesars.
