As told by Hillary: Vegas Trip: Strictly Business

Last week (umm...I mean the week before that...it's taken me a while to write this post) I was lucky enough to travel to Las Vegas with my work family and take part in Starkey's Hearing Aid Technology Innovation. It was amazing!! It was at the Cosmopolitan which is gorgeous and Richard ended up with a penthouse suite on the top floor next door to Bill Clinton!! Serious. Anyways, the expo had huge speakers, amazing information, great food and some pretty awesome shopping! The only thing that I didn't get enough of was sleep!

We arrived on Wednesday and went straight to a restaurant called Holsteins. Gourmet burgers, fries and alcoholic milkshakes. Let's just say that it was not disgusting.

Thursday morning we started bright and early and ended before lunch with guest speaker, Donald Trump! As he was finishing his speech, Matt and I got a surprise invitation to meet him and take a picture with him after he finished! It was pretty cool but I wasn't able to get a picture of us meeting him.

After meeting The Donald, we bailed on the afternoon session and went shopping!

I found a new travel bag that I had to have...and got it!

Ahhh!!! It's perfect and fits my iPad and notebook on one side and all my personal stuff on the other. Winner.

Thursday night we went to the Wynn and had dinner at the Red 8. It's an Asian bistro that serves the best steamed pork buns on the planet! We ended the night with every dessert on the room service menu...oops! Living large!

Friday we decided to be good and go to class all day. I'm glad we did because we ended the afternoon session with President Bill Clinton! He was quite the inspiration.

We went to Wolf Gang Puck's steakhouse, CUT on Friday night. It was legendary.

My hot dates!

Saturday was the best day yet! Richard's class was Saturday afternoon and he did an amazing job! We were all nervous for him but he rocked it. :)

That afternoon we ended the expo with guest speaker...wait for it...President Goerge W. Bush!! We weren't allowed to take pictures but just let me say that I've never enjoyed anything more! He was honest, genuine, funny, blunt and kind. Miss that guy being in the spot light but he shared that it was purposeful to live a life out of the public. AMAZING!!!

Saturday night was a private concert by Brad Paisely. He was so much fun!! Ginger and Debra and I had a great time...even if we were slightly overdressed.
