New post from Brad via Amy (raw with some edits)

Last night we started out with dinner at Alourche a Portuguese restaurant. Possibly one of the best tasting cuisines I have ever had. Prawns the size of my plate. Sausage clams and much more. Super yummy. Then it was back to the venetian for drinks. After a while I was dragged to the IGT party. Unfortunately I had no idea we would actually go because we were not invited and I was in shorts and a T-shirt. But as it turned out it was OK. We just told everyone I was an artist and that seemed to calm down the bigwigs. Even our VP who is super nice said its OK after I apologized for not dressing up.

The next day was the last of the show. Overall everything went very well. John was happy with our AVP roll out and had a chance to discuss the future of international with Steve Morrow for a bit. Phew that was a bit intimidating talking to Steve, but as it turns out he is just a really nice guy and very down to earth. After about 12 of us went to Morton's steak house for dinner. It was amazing. The steak was one of the best I have ever had. But no ones beats Jim ' Teriyaki steaks. By the end of the meal we got the bill. It was over two thousand dollars. I'm sure glad I didn't pay. I might have a bit of trouble explaining that one to my boss Janna on the expense report. After dinner I had a real hard time keeping my eyes open so I called it an early night. Tomorrow we go to Hong Kong. I can't wait I really am sick of hanging in the hotel.
