Shop.org conference + Las Vegas Nightclubs and pics

Attended the www.shop.org conference last week. Learned more about the future of online ecommerce retailing. Had a couple of nights out at fine restaurants and nightclubs in town. Closed out the last night with a dinner + drinks reception at LAX Club in the Luxor Hotel.



On the 1st night we checked out the new Lavo nightclub brought to you by the Tao group. From there we bounced to Tryst at the Wynn Hotel where they were celebrating Mexico Independence Day to the fullest. You'll also find some photos of the Bellagio fountains taken from 30+ floors up in the all new Planet Hollywood hotel.



Day 2 we checked out the conference and met some good contacts. Later that night we had dinner with Matt Coolen from www.clubzone.com/las%20vegas and Linda Bustos from www.getelastic.com at the all new StripHouse Steakhouse inside Planet Hollywood. 2 bottles of red wine and a Chateau Briand later and we were almost ready to head off to the Cathouse nightclub at the Luxor. On the way out we ran into Placido Domingo who had just finished performing and was in for dinner. Ordered bottle service at Cathouse with Jack Colten from www.jackcolton.com.



Later that night we bounced to the all new Prive Las Vegas nightclub. Saw some RnB singer perform and then kicked it with Lil John in the kitchen at the private Table 69.



All in all a good trip. Shitty for the markets that week. All the big US investment banks crashed - Meryll Lynch, Lehman Bros and AIG topped it off with a nice insurance crash and bailout. Fun ride!
