I spent three nights in Las Vegas, Nevada from April 28 until May 1st between stops in San Diego and Los Angeles. These are some pictures from the Vegas Strip, downtown, and a view of the city from Downtown Project.

All insane ideas start out as acts of insanity as well... how do we know beforehand which will turn out to be great?

Much of my time in Vegas was spent at the amazing Microconf 2013 conference. I also checked out the Downtown Project and met a couple of fun girls from (where else other than) Austin, Texas, Carolina (@Carol91186) and Tabitha (@TabithaFierro) during the tour.
