Scale

It seems like Las Vegas is on a different scale from the normal world. When I left my hotel room in the Luxor this morning and walked "next door" to the Mandalay Bay where the conference is, it took me over 15 minutes to get to the registration area for the conference. It was pretty much a straight shot and it was entirely indoors! Think of it as walking from F&M to Park City entirely indoors.

In years past I had stayed at the Excalibur which is on the far side of the Luxor from Mandalay Bay. Staying there added another 10 to 15 minutes to the walk and was, again, all indoors. There is a monorail that runs between these 3 places, but I found that it took almost 15 minutes to walk out to the monorail station at one end and another 10 minutes to get back into the Mandalay Bay at the other end.

The scale of this place is immense!

I'm in my conference room now, after grabbing some breakfast. Just upstairs from the coference registration area, but another 10 minute walk. I guess I don't have to worry about getting my exercise this week!
