BAck a few years ago for CES, Western Digital gave a free party with tickets available on Eventbrite (sp). It was held at Tao nightclub. Business casual attire and a large nubmer of people turned away because their footware was not up to par (eg:sneakers or what even might look like a sneaker.)
It was open bar so I had my drink of choice, gin and tonic (Bombay Sapphire) I tipped $2 a drink. I kind of remember they served a buffet. I never lasted long enough 2.5 hours and they still had not done any drawings for hard drives and other WD products.
I kind of remember walking down this small stairwell to get back down to the main casino and asking a security person where to get a cab. All I heard was myself mumbeling, but I do remember arriving at my hotel Circus Circus and going to pay the driver, but he said you already paid me when security helped you get into the cab.
I said ok and gave him a $5 anyhow, I have flashbacks of buying munchies in the giftshop and I have no memory after that. How I got to my room on the 30th floor of the back tower or even how I found my room.
But the good thing is when I woke up the next day, I was alone and all my cards and cash were in my wallet.
I must not have closed the curtains the previous night but I felt like a vampire in the sunlight when I opened my eyes and struggled to get to the window to close the curtains.
Never drank like that in Vegas since :-P
