AU lasts several day and for any of you that have spent any time in Vegas, 4 day can be a marathon in that city! I can’t stress enough the following tips for anyone planning to hit AU – Plan your week well in advance; take advantage of all the great online planning tools; rest up before you go; drink lots of water while there; make sure you hit EVERY social/networking event Autodesk plans; bring comfortable shoes; DON’T go out and hit Vegas hard on your first night! Bonus Tips… leave the blackjack table before 1 AM and tell the cabbie to/from the airport to take the old route!
