Things to Do
Who says the records and information management profession isn't fun? Well, it's time to prove those naysayers wrong by joining ARMA International for the 53rd Annual Conference and Expo in Las Vegas!! Visit the city where you can attend the best educational sessions for RIM out there during the day and live it up "Vegas style" at night.
Las Vegas is known as the "Entertainment Capital of the World" and it definitely lives up to its name. What do you want to do? What do you want to get out of your trip (besides stellar RIM education, of course)? Just name it and Vegas will be your guide. Go ahead, sit back and enjoy the ride...uh, conference.
Attractions
There are many historic landmarks to see in the surrounding Las Vegas area. Visit the natural wonder that is the Grand Canyon (just a one-hour flight), the Hoover Dam, a man-made marvel, or take a trip to Zion National Park, home to Lake Mead and Zion Canyon.
Shopping/Dining
If you're looking to splurge on new duds, then Vegas is your one-stop shop. Your choices run the gamut from designer clothing boutiques to discount retail shops to shopping malls. Do you want to get into the Vegas spirit and sport sequins and lace? Or, do you want to find something more upscale to wear to a show? Whatever you have in mind, you'll find something to suit your tastes.
Now that you've done all that shopping, you've probably worked up an appetite. And you're not going to be disappointed when it comes to dining choices. Las Vegas offers some of the best cuisine in the world from celebrity chefs to all-you-can-eat buffets. One top culinary magazine even named Vegas as one of the nation's top five restaurant cities.
Entertainment
Now entertainment is what Vegas does best. You can dance the night away at any of the city's top nightclubs or you can take in a show. You can see Cirque du Soleil with its acrobats and special effects, the ABBA-inspired smash-hit Mamma Mia, Monty Python's Spamalot, or Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular.
If shows and dancing don't appeal to you, then there are always comedy clubs. Face it, after a day of exploring the nuances of legal holds and the intricacies of retention schedules, you might need a laugh. Las Vegas has some of the best comedians in the country performing year-around.
But what is the one thing that most people think of when they think Las Vegas. Gaming! Vegas is a premier gaming destination. From traditional cards games to slot machines and race and sports betting. Play your hand at any number of themed Las Vegas hotels and casinos.
Or, come to Vegas and get hitched by Elvis! Don't worry, we won't tell anyone!! (wink, wink)
