Left the Conference at 1:00 pm (eastern time) made it to Vegas on Frontier Air. First time traveling on Frontier Air. There is Direct TV but you pay $5.00 movie is $8.00. At least soft drinks are still free.

Got to Vegas around 8:30 pm. Took taxi from the airport to the hotel. The driver pointed out 3 large condo buildings at MGM and more being built. "It's a buyer's market " he said.. "Lot of bankruptcy , prices are dropping..good time to buy.. " . There is a hugh development called the City Center as well being built. Luxury condos, retails...etc.  I am thinking this condo thing in Vegas is not going to work. Too many being built at once.

Check in to the hotel no problem. Met up with Dave at the lobby later since he took a separate flight down from Vancouver after work.

Went down to casino ..no luck. All the hotels now have some sort of a food court where it never used to years ago. Very convenience. we shared nacho at Rubio's.. very good.. Go to bed at 1:00 a.m. (Pacific time) but since I came in from Atlanta (eastern time) that's like 4:00 a.m. so I have been up more then 20 hours ! ! But it's Vegas !
