Las Vegas First Day – Education

We finally arrived in Las Vegas last night.  We were up 20 hours.  Guess you could say we were dead tired.  Not a lot happened today as we had classes all day long.  We were at our first class this morning at 7:30 am and this was a class on The Fortune Is In The Follow Up.  That had to be the best speaker I have ever heard.  Our convention and classes are being held at Mandalay Bay.

After our first class we went down to the food court and had the honor of paying $9.75 for a cheeseburger and I could have paid $4.75 for french fries.  They sure think a lot of their food around here.  I let them keep the french fries.  My hips said thank you anyway.

Then  as we are finally leaving for the day, we run into our friend from the Durham area, Dave Gephart.  His son has a restaurant at Wrightsville Beach – Buoy 32.  Great restaurant.
