LAS VEGAS – The OMC editorial team arrived in Las Vegas this morning
to do our research for “Milwaukee Vegas Week” which will run in
mid-March. More details to come, but the gist is that we’re seeking out
Milwaukee / Las Vegas connections – of which there are plenty.
The fine folks at Funjet Vacations sent us out here. We’re
staying at the opulent Luxor, and halfway into day one, we’re
unearthing lots of good stories to share with our readers. For
now, though, we’ll keep them a secret.
The best part about the trip so far? The weather topped out in the mid
60s. It was perfectly sunny with a nice breeze. Not
tropical, but a whole lot better than the weather at home. Tomorrow
should be more of the same.
We’ll try to blog a little more before we return on Wednesday, although
we have a solid schedule of interviews and tours to take. In the
meantime, Viva Las Vegas.
