Vegas Baby

Had a long week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Vegas in January.  Highlight was meeting Katie for a couple days at the tail end!  So fun to have some time just the two of us, that never happens!
Helping me pack for my trip to Las Vegas
Caesar's Palace, my home for the week
Abbott's banner at CES
I was in charge of our exhibit, here it is!


Amazing dinner at Mizumi in the Wynn





Cool augmented reality experience we had at our Neuromodulation section of the booth
FreeStyle Libre users!  The guy on the right is a professional football player spokesperson for us, the other two guys are fans/ FreeStyle Libre users who stopped by our booth.  Go diabetes care and continuous blood glucose monitoring.
The communications team asked me to do a video tour of the booth - so I got my two minutes of fame.

Abbott booth crew!  Great group!


Had just a few hours to walk around some of the other areas of CES and there was some cool stuff!





This is my boss, Vivek, and Jaimeen - who is in HR and is actually the person who recruited me away from Walgreens 3 years ago.

VIP treatment - fruit plate and champagne at the hotel- when your group hotel block gets you freebie VIP perks and your friend assigns it to your room:)



Cool mall - looks like you're outside, but you're not
Dinner with these goofballs at the Venetian
LL Cool J Concert - another colleague got us into the Pandora party


Kelly Morrison and I caught roses from LL!  Swoon!  Ha!
View from Hell's Kitchen restaurant
The famous Hell's Kitchen lobster risotto.  Yum.

Chattin' with the crew!

Final celebratory dinner - with a Diabetes Care buddy

On the last day of the show, I had the morning off from working the booth, so went with work friend, Simon, to the nearby Red Rock Canyon.  Was highly recommended hiking from Ben and Linda.
It was beautiful!


























Finished up my work and now time for play!  Katie Richardson is here!

Watching the show at the Bellagio from our restaurant, Picasso











Spa Day!  Massages and plunge pools and relaxation - ahhhhhh
walking through some of the other hotels - this is the Cosmopolitan
Paris
Chinese New Year decorations everywhere

Two hot Mommas hitting the town!
Cirque du Soleil - Ka - really good show

The Aria


Last minute decision to see a second show that night, Absinthe.  It was amazing, incredible, hilarious!  I would highly recommend.  A highlight of my time in Vegas.





Couldn't wait to get home to these guys!

Pictures from Matt of their fun weekend










High waves and storms wrecked our sand area.  Boo!  So sad.


Yikes
