Back from Vegas/AU07 *56k warning*

[BAMA JAMMA]

Just got back in town late last night. AU07(Autodesk University 2007) was a blast.

I stayed in Treasure Island this time. I tried to register for the Venetian where the conference was but they didn't have any rooms available because 20 floors were being redone. TI was much better than Bally's last year that's for sure!

The Mirage Volcano and my hotel in the background

Here is a beautiful sunset shot from my room

The Trump hotel was also across from my room

Nice wide angle of the mountains from my room

WB is off on this shot and I didn't feel like messing with it. This is the new Palazzo hotel which is the big brother now to the Venetian

Here are some shots around the Mirage...

Rainforest inside the Mirage...

Daytime shot of the Mirage Volcano (didn't get any of it erupting at night )

Inside the Venetian at the Italian shops and restraunts

Here is a Scion xA that has been totally transformed from fiveaxis using Inventor and other Autodesk products to redesign it. Yes the side if exposed open

A very cool moutain bike, again created using Inventor and other Autodesk products to design it. Very custom and trick components on this bike. The welds were beautiful as well.

Abstract focus LOL

Here is a RKS guitar that is designed using Inventor. RKS designs some very innovative products and this guitar was awesome piece.

Inventor designed CF wheelchair wheel (I included a crop to show the carbon)....

Another fiveaxis Scion....

We had a few comedians at one of our conference receptions along with some singers and the break dancers from above. One of the comedians was Mad Chad who's been on TV juggling all sorts of things, including chainsaws and high voltage stun wands. Yes they were real LOL.

This is a sweet "iron maiden" bike as I called it. It took over 6 months of work to build. Pretty amazing to do seeing as how some of the hair is braided metal. Bike weighed over 900 lbs.

Sweet Viper GTS...

I just got back about a month ago from Vegas. Those are some nice pictures; thanks for sharing.

Did you see the water show in front of the Bellagio? For free entertainment, that's about as good as it gets.

Vegas is great! The wife and I usually drive over once a year (5 hour drive!) and stay a couple of days. We both play a roll of quarters a piece and then just take in a few of the shows. Wouldn't want to live there though!

:biggrin: HAH! Those guys are actually some well known break dancers that have been on a few shows. I don't follow break dancing or anything but they were interesting to watch.

Glad you all are enjoying the pics!

Here are a few more....

Somewhere just before Denver heading home....
