Shark Reef Aquarium

10 on 10 - March

That's right! And at the chance of sounding a little too cliche, what happens in Vegas ...ends up on the 10 on 10 blog, or at least in bits. Nabil has been to Vegas once before, but this was

my

very first time. I compounded visiting a big photography conference, 

WPPI

, and (mostly) celebrating one of our great friend's 30th birthday. It was probably one of the most fun trips we've had. We unfortunately didn't win the jackpot, but we got to have a good time with some friends we haven't see since college. Everyone was just so excited to see one another and hang out, 

Now you may notice that this month's 10 on 10 is a little scattered. As much as I would have loved to fully document the trip, it's a little cumbersome to lug around the camera, especially when there is a drink or two involved. Our first stop on the photo tour is at the

Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay

Being a Las Vegas newb had me walking around like a true tourist. You know that feeling you get when you have big expectations of something, and then you experience it, and you're disappointed because it wasn't as good as you built it up in your mind? Ya, that didn't happen. It was just as big and glamorous as I thought it would be, probably even more so. Not to mention, the view from

our suite

was pretty unbeatable. Hello Bellagio Fountains!

When they go off, it makes you feel like this (thanks for modeling Nikki):

So despite the fact that everyone went home with their wallets weighing a little less, we all had a great time.

And now that you and I are both back to reality from Vegas-ing, make sure to stop by our other 10 on 10ers posts. You may notice there is another photog in our midst! Travis Button Photography is a fantastic addition to our group, so go and check them all out. Go, go!
