4. Plan at least one "Vegas" experience that has nothing to do with the conference.

If you are a regular on the HR conference circuit, you may be a little tired of Las Vegas. But if you are not a frequent visitor (or even if you are), there is so much to do and see in the city that you should try to find some time away from work. A few recommendations:

The Neon Museum: Wonderful vintage neon signs, great picture-taking opportunities and an "old" Vegas vibe.
Superfrico and "OPM": A "super" fun evening of great, home-cooked-style food (Superfrico) and an inventive, creative, unique show ("OPM") make this a perfect way to spend a free night in Vegas.
Catch a show: While some of the "big" shows look to be already sold out (Katy Perry, Wayne Newton), there are still plenty of entertainment options during HR Tech. Most of the Cirque de Soleil shows are running, as well as plenty of comedy and magic shows. Going to a cheesy "Vegas" show is an underrated good time, and if you have not been to one for a bit, it can be a fun, lower-key way to spend an evening in Vegas.

5. Don't go overboard at night.

HR Tech is closer to a marathon than a sprint. I suppose it is more like a 10K or maybe even a half-marathon. Anyway, with the program at HR Tech lasting five days, you have a long week ahead of you. So, going too wild at night, especially early in the week, is a recipe for a long week! Have fun, but begin with the end in mind, as they say.
