First Time in Las Vegas

I LOVE to travel. Living abroad in Europe for many years, and with a passion for culture and language, travelling has always been more of a MUST than an option for me.  I have had the pleasure of travelling and living  all throughout Europe, as well as travelling throughout Canada, the States and Mexico. BUT, I have never been (and please excuse this next part) and never really wanted to go (:( to Vegas.  You see, I like off the beaten track.  The non-tourist area-where I can get to know the locals, their FOOD and culture to the purist form.  Vegas (to my understanding) is not quite like this.  So when the opportunity arose to go to the Olympia Weekend, I was hesitatant, but very excited for the Olympia and Fitness scene aspect.VEGAS was not the main reason for my excitment.  Admittedly though, over the past few weeks and with many a conversation with avid Vegas enthusiasts(and finally being forced to watch The Hangover- thanks Paul;), I AM SO EXCITED TO EXPERIENCE VEGAS!!!! I leave in less then 24 hours…..staying somewhere SWANKY with my friend/fitness model/amazing woman Stefanie Richard!  Follow me on Twitter for the WHERE/WHO/WHEN/WHY as I  lose my Vegas Virginity!!!!
