Las Vegas is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country and, indeed, around the world. There’s simply so much to love about Vegas and people just keep coming back for more. In fact, Vegas has been a choice MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) venue since the opening of the Las Vegas Convention Center in 1959. Indeed, the size and the date of the event doesn’t matter; Las Vegas is the perfect place to conduct it.

I just landed in Downtown Las Vegas for my first trip for business in over a year. I’m most definitely NOT in Las Vegas (which I don’t like very much) – instead I’m in Downtown Las Vegas which is a magnificent experiment in revitalizing a downtown city that was more or less left for dead a while ago.

Our annual 24 hours (usually more like 30) together in Las Vegas every January for CES is another one. Last night during my two mile post dinner walk from the Hard Rock (where I had an awesome dinner at Nobu) to the Venetian (where I subsequently had a very short night of sleep), my mind wandered around about the great time I had with my dad at CES. My dad and I have developed several annual traditions including a really delightful father-son weekend.

The Fukuburger Truck in Las Vegas is a prime example of how you don’t need a showroom or massive food catalog to draw in the customers. The truck is often rated one of the best burgers in Vegas and, without excessive restaurant equipment costs, they’re able to turn a solid profit. If you’re looking for a way to flex your entrepreneurial muscles, the foodservice industry is still holding on strong, making it a potentially good investment.
