Ali, celebrating her birthday.

Wow! What a jackpot!

Joy dragged us back to the Imperial Palace, because she remembered winning big on this machine.

The Mirage Volcano -- as seen from the ground level. Very cool fountain & pyro display.

I won a raffle at the blogger party. Amongst the prizes were $300 in cash and free return flights on Virgin America.

My prize? An Intel flight suit. Apparently, Intel was sponsoring one of those Zero-G parabolic flights, and had some custom flight suits made. Do I get a flight on the vomit comet? Do I bollocks. Just the suit.

Not pictured is the huge Intel logo on the back. Discussions soon turned to the idea of wearing it, heading to the Intel booth on the show floor, and pretending to be booth staff. "Our new processor is smaller than an ant, but can do multiplication almost three times faster than even the most skilled ant."

Oh, and when I was carrying the suit, I felt something papery in one of the pockets. Of course, my first assumption was that there was a crisp $100 bill in there. Nope. Sick bag!

Spotted opposite the Atomic Testing Museum. No idea what makes their coffee "sexy", and frankly scared to find out.

The closest thing to an innovation at the Sony stand -- breakdancing robot MP3 players.

Getting ready for an interview at the NBC News stand

Signing at the Go Daddy tent. There were only five or six people in the line, so I figured what the hey.

As a few of us were discussing in the line, Photoshop has been good to her.

Crocs for your phone. Who else thinks they came up with the name first, then created the product to go with it?
