OT:
Speaking of which...I went to Las Vegas like...5 or 6 years ago. I I was in my teens (man now I sound like an old man), but I had lotsa fun :) That place is always pumpin'. I really liked watching the Excalibur show. Dont know exactly what it's called..maybe it's King Arthurs Feast or something, but it was really cool! Don't forget to see all the free shows (usually are outside) that each Casino/hotel offers!

If you want to get lit up for cheap, play nickle slots and get free drinks from the waitress.
There are a lot of clubs you can hit up. Luxor has one (enter the front and go to the left), Mandalay Bay has one near the back entrance, Bikinis in the Rio, the club on top of Palms, There is another club right across the street from the Las Vegas Convention Center (The Hilton), clubs all over.
You also have the nude bars. We were told by a taxi cab driver that a taxi to them is free, not sure about getting back though.
Lots of hotels to check out, plus many of them have free shows w/in their shopping areas. For example, Paris will have singers/dancers performing, Alladin has belly dancing, Venitian (sp?) has gondola rides and the drivers sing, etc etc. Just check em out!
Dont forget to check out the pool areas of the hotels too. Bellagio has a really nice pool area.

thats cool, thanks. I don't really think I'll be going to any nudie bars though; not exactly my style. There's some bar at Bally's that we all wanted to go to, we saw some fancy trick pouring bartenders on TV, and these guys won the bartending world championships or something

Must link to a First Look. We moved the first look to a new section and redid the layout of them. If it was linking to an old news article, then the article was probably deleted to save space.
This was from your comdex review, and was about the Jackrabbit32.

Key3Media Receives Court Approval of DIP Financing
2/5/2003 12:17:00 PM
LOS ANGELES, Feb 5, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Key3Media Group, Inc. (OTCBB: KMED), the world's leading producer of information technology tradeshows and conferences, today announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has granted the Company's request for interim approval to utilize the initial $12.5 million of the $30 million debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing to be provided by Thomas Weisel Capital Partners.
A hearing has been scheduled for March 7, 2003 for final approval.
On February 3, 2003, Key3Media announced a plan of reorganization, backed by investment funds managed by Thomas Weisel Capital Partners, that would enable the Company to hold all scheduled tradeshows and conferences without interruption. Under the plan, Key3Media will reduce its total debt by 87% from approximately $372 million to $50 million.

Computer Digital Expo, or cdXpo.com, will rapidly become America's main technology event for the 21st Century. I believe that American and major international technology companies are craving for this initiative. The CES show held annually in Las Vegas in January has made attempts at filling the Comdex void. CES is a terrific show, but it is not an IT show. IT executives and the rank and file require a trade show devoted to computing issues, not one that is overwhelmingly biased toward entertainment and even toaster ovens.
COMDEX has two replacements already in the works. One is that cdxpo and another i can't find the name of.
