Just a hint, if you're planning to leave the Strip, make sure you have a cell phone with you and the phone number of a couple of cab companies. Last year on the first day, I got stranded at a Walmart that was only a five-minute drive from the Strip. With three conferences happening on the Strip, cab drivers didn't want to leave it to go to a Walmart. And in Vegas, they'll drive right by you if you try hailing a cab on the street.

Cheers
