Favorite things about Las Vegas: Not only is Las Vegas the entertainment capital of the world but it is wonderful to see friends and family that come for the Las Vegas destination. And it doesn’t snow here (usually)! A few years ago, my brother was visiting Las Vegas from Chicago in December and we had 3 inches of snow! He was snowed in here in Las Vegas for 2 days and could not get back home to Chicago. True story.

I am most excited about SHOT with the opportunity to be an integral part of one of the largest trade shows in Las Vegas. Both the exhibitors and attendees need our assistance in making these 4 days the most successful as is possible for their investment of time, effort and dollars.
