Rob's idea. After several rounds of beer, he decided we needed some vodka.

I didn't argue

Thanks for the comments everyone!! It was certainly a pleasure to have met some new people, some of which I have been talking with via the boards for years.....
For me, the best part of TRF is its community spirit, and it never ceases to amaze me of the quality of folk I meet at these events!!

It's even had 2 swims in the pool, and 4 showers, so no worries about it getting wet!!

Cool,


I take it you've had plenty of time to do some watch shopping in Vegas by now Rob.


Do tell, do tell.

A few hours today of browsing yes....
No pics unfortunately to show, but some definate eye candy to be seen across a wide variety of high end watches.
Even found a store promoting a 35% off on all pre-owned watches. Mostly older DJ and DD.
No purchased made however as my budget is now blown out of the water with the new watch and festivities undertaken here in Vegas!!

Glad to hear your having a great time Rob. I know I always enjoy myself when I visit Vegas.

Mostly shows, and tons of window shopping for watches. One of the best places to see so many different brands and models.

Exactly, and same with us!!!
We are heading to our 2nd show tonight in-fact....Both Cirque shows!!

The watch viewing is superb also. So many in one place!
(Even though you have to walk 10 miles to see them all in a 3 mile radius!!)

Yes the Cirque shows are excellent. I saw Paul McCartney play there last time I was in town.


The walk is worth it, besides I saw Yoko on one of these very walks. I should have flashed her the peace sign, but she caught me off guard.
