What Happens In Vegas... The Las Vegas Forex and Options Trading Expo 2-4 August 2009

So, I'm kind of looking forward to attending The Las Vegas Forex and Options Trading Expo from 2-4 August 2009. I've already booked my airfare and accommodation. I kind of wish I'd booked on Virgin Atlantic instead of British Airways, but too late now. I just hope my luggage gets there on time because British Airways really messed up my recent trip to New York. I was in New York for only about six days and my luggage got there two days before I was due to leave. Moreover, you pay for business class on British Airways and often get treated like cargo. Good going, BA!

Anyway, I happened to get a fantastic rate at the Wynn Encore Las Vegas. My average rate is now $159 + tax per night and I get a $50 resort credit. I've got a resort suite and who knew they have six swimming pools? The Venetian Palazzo probably has a better rate, but I wanted to try out the Wynn Encore since I've been to the Palazzo before. So who says good things can't happen during a recession? (promotional code in case anyone's interested: AFFASV). In case you get a higher rate, just google Wynn Las Vegas promo codes and you should be able to find other offers that might be more advantageous.

Getting back to the expo itself, it seems like there's a great lineup of speakers, including Todd Gordon, Kathy Lien, Boris Schlossberg, Ed Ponsi, Tim Morge, John Person, etc.

I would have liked to see Brian Dolan included as well. Who knows, maybe he'll join in at the last minute?

Since I haven't been trading for all that long, I'm a bit anxious about meeting people who've been trading for years. I don't want to be the worst trader there or the worst trader ever... But I'm fairly confident I'll be learning a lot more about forex trading! And obviously, shopaholic that I am, I'll be paying a visit to The Fashion Show Mall and the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian.
