Acton on resolutions. 
Membership voting on resolution.

Day 46 (day 1 Las Vegas conference) + ( day 6 bathroom remodel)

7:30 am went for a walk. A very pleasant 75 degrees. 
Walked across the street to the new Aria hotel and casino and their Crystal mall. 

This is a bar in the mall  looks like something else I think

The lobby of the Aria. 


Shot of the Bellagio on the way back to the Paris. 



Had breakfast at Le Cafe in the Paris  


Waiting for conference doors to open. 

Conference floor with 1485 delegates in attendance. 

This afternoon is speeches by candidates for office. This is an election year for association officers. 

After the dinner break we start on resolutions. Resolutions are the major part of the conference. We will probably be discussing and voting on resolutions through Wednesday night. 

As for the bathroom at home. It doesn't look much different yet. But out sink and vanity arrived. 
It is in the dinning room at the moment. 

I think that is it for today.
