Hello Friends,
When planning to attend a meeting, trade show or convention, preparation and knowledge is the key. Being a smart business person means properly taking the necessary steps to maximizing the efficiency and satisfaction of your trip. Visiting Las Vegas can be surprisingly easy to plan and very enjoyable, if you follow these simple tips.
1.Prepare before you get there. Las Vegas boasts more than 900 flights per day and non-stop service from over 130 US cities. You won’t be short on flight options, but to ensure you get the best deal possible, make sure to book early. Additionally, booking your accommodations (from one of Las Vegas’ 140,000 hotel rooms) should be done in advance. Also, Las Vegas averages 320 days of sunshine per year, with an average temperature of 66.3 degrees. It’s always a good idea to pack a swimsuit and pair of sunglasses, just in case you get an afternoon away from your meeting and you get a chance to lay by the pool.
2.Keep healthy. Even if you plan on spending much of your time indoors at a meeting or convention, follow these tips to staying healthy. Wearing comfortable shoes is a must. Las Vegas is home to some of the biggest meeting venues in the nation, with the Las Vegas Convention Center alone covering over two million square feet of exhibit space. Applying a sunscreen of at least SPF 30, and carrying a bottle of water with you at all times will help keep you safe from the sun and hydrated throughout your long days.
Thanks.

Re: How to attend a business meeting
1.
Step 1
Be punctual. R.S.V.P. to the meeting in a timely manner if a reply is requested. Arrive at least five minutes ahead of the start time to ensure you don't miss anything. Showing up late will interrupt the speaker and cause distraction.
2.
Step 2
Prepare yourself. Study the key points of the meeting, and read the objectives. Know the latest company news and current events. If you will be presenting, make sure you have created visual aids such as PowerPoint presentations and handouts. Turn off all personal electronic devices so as not to cause distraction.
3.
Step 3
Pay attention. When others are speaking, listen closely. You do not want to ask questions that have already been asked or cover a subject that has already been discussed. Take notes on key points to help keep your focus. If you have a question, hold it for when the speaker is done or presents the opportunity for an open forum.
4.
Step 4
Stay for the entire meeting. Leaving early is distracting and often disrespectful. Take the time at the end of the meeting to thank the speaker or pose a question.
5.
Step 5
Follow through. Complete any tasks you were assigned during the meeting to the best of your ability. Review the notes you took, and file them away for reference.

When The Mirage opened in 1989, it started a trend of further development of the southern portion of the Las Vegas Strip. This resulted in a drop in tourism in the downtown area but many recent projects and condominium construction have increased visitors to downtown.
