From Foodie Tours to Learning Labs - My Las Vegas Experience
I am no stranger to the Las Vegas experience. I’ve attended more #tradeshows, concerts, and events in that fabulous city than I can count, spanning well over 30 years.
I even got married there - by an Elvis impersonator, of course. I’d include a picture but as my Gen Z daughter would say - that was back in ancient times. You know, the late 1900’s when we actually used film for pictures.
Pursuing my CTSM at EXHIBITOR Education Week, I expected to learn about booth design, engagement, and event logistics. But what I discovered went well beyond PowerPoint slides.
Great experiences are all around us, waiting to inspire.
I gained much insight from Anders Boulanger’s session - Putting the Show in Trade Shows, and enjoyed dusting off my booth engagement skills in front of the class!
But I also opened my eyes and realized each casino, each fountain show, and every street performer was a masterclass in captivating an audience.
The Bellagio’s water ballet? That’s experiential storytelling.
The Mirage’s volcano eruption? A lesson in anticipation and spectacle, made even more poignant knowing the Mirage is closing its doors forever this weekend.
The Lip Smacking Foodie Tour? The personalized service, the vibrant locales, the attention to detail, and the incredible food—it was experiential hospitality at it’s finest.
Crafting great experiences isn’t about reinventing the wheel; it’s about recognizing the magic in everyday moments and adapting them to create memorable events.
