So what could be better than going to Las Vegas to geek out for a week?
NOTHING YOU FREAK!!
As you may have heard that there is a little product launch in November from Microsoft releasing VS2005. It shouldn't be that big of deal. Get a few people together and a keg and the next thing you know you have a DevConnections Conference. :)
Actually, the truth is that ASP.NET DevConnections is got a very nice line up for their conference in Las Vegas. They have lined up some really great speakers and some very interesting topics. The dates are Nov 7th - Nov 10th at the Mandalay Bay. At the same time as the ASP.NET conference, there is also the SQL, C++, and Visual Studio conferences going on that you can partake in too. (Now that is a hell of a deal) Check it out here. As an added bonus, all in attendence get a VS 2005 Professional and SQL Server 2005 (1 cal included) for free.
If you decide to go, I would recommend arraging travel through another travel site. It will end up saving you hundreds of dollars (more to spend at the craps table). I used WorryFreeVacations and got a great deal staying at the Excalibur hotel just a block away from the Mandalay Bay.
If you are in town and want to get a bit or drink, let me know. There are some great resturants in Vegas!
Until the next roll.
