Hey there CR4 readers! It's the second day of the Blogworld & New Media conference. I'll speak about some of the thought provoking sessions in a later post. Right now, I'm more interested in pontificating about Las Vegas.
It's my second time Las Vegas, both times for blogging and Web 2.0 Conferences. In truth, this city is wasted on me. I don't gamble (at least when I know the odds are stacked against me), I'm not into magic shows, Celine Dion or the like; and while I do enjoy intellectually imbued burlesque, there's little of that here (not that I've looked too hard  ). I'd much rather be hiking in some of the canyons around Lake Mead or touring the Hoover Dam (maybe next time).
Apparently, my point of view isn't the prevailing one. The level of construction activity on the strip is simply amazing. Resorts like the Wynn are radically expanding the number of rooms available. With the recent implosions of the Stardust and other resorts, there is a lot going on. I am simply amazed by the number of tower cranes that are at work day and night. By the way, does anyone know how they keep from toppling over when bearing heavy loads, and what is the process by which they build themselves higher?
Anyway, I'm off to a session on Building Online Reputation, so I have to sign off. I'll be back in the "office" on Monday.
- Chris
