If you missed my day 0, you can view it here.

As there was no Oracle EMEA Appreciation Event like the past couple of years, today was simply enjoying Las Vegas and getting over the jet lag.

Enjoying Las Vegas

First thing first, after getting up and sorting a few things out, was to get breakfast. My colleague Rishin Mitra, is staying nearby and walked over to my hotel. We went to Zeffer’s restaurant, which I have been before and recommended.

Rishin had chicken and waffles and I had french toast, massive portions!

Next, I went exploring and Rishin went back to his hotel to rehearse his presentation. He was fortunate to be selected to present 👍🏽 It was hot hot hot in Las Vegas with temperate hitting nearly 40oC 🥵

I’ve recently got into cycling and brought an eMTB, so thought I’d check out a cycle store in US to see if it had better range then UK, where I’ve struggled to get certain body armour like knee pads, etc. The nearest store was some considerable distance and pretty costly in an Uber, but I noticed in Uber app it offered me $3 for the bus, so I thought why not, it’s an experience 😊

45 minutes later, I arrive at the ‘Las Vegas’ Cyclery’.

There was a ball made out of used inner tubes 😲

After having a browse and deciding not to get anything, I went to the Fashion Show Mall back at the strip, for some window shopping and met up again with Rishin. As our breakfast, was so filling we’d both skipped lunch and thought we’d swing by Oracle CloudWorld conference to see how preparation so going on. It seemed like all ready for tomorrow.

Here’s a map of the layout of the conference, should anyone attending and be interested.

After, this we had a wonder down the LINQ promenade to look for a place to eat. We couldn’t find a place to eat, but we did wonder in this cool ‘ I LOVE SUGAR’ store which I had been to in the past.

I suggested we go to ‘The Cheese Factory’ in Caesars Palace shopping and food forum. So we had a wonder over to there and eventually ended up in ‘The Cheese Factory’.

The meal was as filling as our breakfasts! 🤦🏽‍♂️

That was the final thing we did before heading back to hotel and wrapping up the day.

Tomorrow will be registration, attending the Oracle Partner Success Summit, EMEA Welcome Reception and Database Premiere Customer Appreciation Event.
