The Limo driver's card Location: En route to MGM Grand Apparently the driver offered more than just transportation services. - 115 1565 IMG
Ford Excrement Location: On the way back to the MGM Grand Sometimes people take the SUV thing too far. - 115 1560 IMG
Bruce Schneier pimps Secrets and Lies Location: Alexis Park Hotel After a really boring talk about hacker profiling from some guy who used to work at the FBI, the real fun began. Bruce Schneier got up and delivered on long slashdot comment, in response to many questions from the audience. Of course, not before he told us about his new book. - 115 1559 IMG
Nice place to live Location: Off the Las Vegas Strip I'm sure I would feel very secure about my living arrangements at a place like this. - 115 1558 IMG

Late night Ad hoc wireless network Location: MGM Grand - 115 1556 IMG
Late night Ad hoc wireless network Location: MGM Grand Drew finally showed up at about 1:15am. It turns out his plane *left* at 10:30. Oh well. We all gathered in my hotel room with a bunch of wireless cards and did a bit of hacking on each other. It was a great chance to practice playing with my new iBook. - 115 1555 IMG
Too Cool Location: New York New York Hotel They had a whole downtown NY set up in this hotel, complete with steaming manhole covers. - 115 1549 IMG
The interminable hallway Location: MGM Grand The wings of the MGM Grand seemed at least a quarter of a mile long. We were near the end of the wing. - 115 1548 IMG
The lobby Location: MGM Grand When we entered the lobby of the MGM grand, I immediately got the impression that it was a place for normal, boring people to think they were somewhere glamorous. The marble colums were painted drywall, and the velvet curtains were wood. The place was saturated by the smell of cheap cigar smoke from the cigars they sold tourists to make them feel like they were living the high life while the casino was extracting their money from them. - 115 1547 IMG

A limo? Location: Outside Las Vegas Airport As we stepped out of the airport, Ali and I started looking for the MGM Grand hotel shuttle. Before we could find it, though, we discovered that George and Doug were already having there things loaded into a limo. I guess they decided we should get the trip off on the right foot. - 115 1542 IMG
Our first slot machines Location: Las Vegas Airport Literally the first thing you see when you step off the plane are slot machines. These were a few spotted further into the terminal. - 115 1541 IMG
Our first celebrity Location: Las Vegas Airport George meets the first celebrity of the trip, Angelina Jolie. Funny, she always seemed looser and more natural in the movies.
