It's time for another World Famous Jeff Does Vegas Trip Report!
This time around, we're re-capping my most recent trip to Vegas, from March 4-11, 2023. This was trip #2 of 2023 and was easily one of the busiest trips to Las Vegas that I've ever had!
I combined work and play for this trip; my wife joined me for a mini-vacation for the first few days of the trip, then I attended the Podcast Movement Evolutions conference at the Westgate Las Vegas Hotel & Casino for the last half of the trip.
Take a listen for reviews of my hotel experience at Luxor Las Vegas, our amazing meal at Mayfair Supper Club at the Bellagio, the time we spent seeing Mat Franco - Magic Reinvented Nightly at the Linq, and much more! I've also got tips & tricks for anyone planning on attending a conference/convention in Las Vegas, as well as some thoughts & opinions about what's happening in the city.
