Five Distractions At Las Vegas Kaseya Conference

Yes, The VAR Guy is heading to Las Vegas on June 1 for the Kaseya User Conference. It should be an educational event for managed service providers and IT leaders. But can our resident blogger focus on the job at hand with so many temptations around him? Here are five fatal distractions — all rated PG — The VAR Guy will need to avoid in Sin City.

1. The New York, New York Hotel and Casino Roller Coaster: Still the best distraction in Vegas. Stick with this video to hear The VAR Guy’s tech support interns crying like babies on this massive roller coaster:

2. Las Vegas Stratosphere Insanity Ride: And you’re worried about your margins falling? What about the rest of your personal assets?

3. Poker Tournament with Craigslist Founder Craig Newmark: Um, The VAR Guy knows what’s in his wallet — and it ain’t much. Can he bluff his way into some big earnings during a poker tournament featuring Newmark on June 2?

4. Star Trek: The Experience: The VAR Guy always preferred Luke and Leia over Kirk and Spock. And during a dozen trips to Vegas, he has failed to visit Star Trek: The Experience, located in the Hilton Hotel. Perhaps he’ll finally beam aboard this time around.

5. Anybody’s Buffet: Craving some king crab legs at 6am? Or how about pancakes at midnight? Like a good New York diner, Las Vegas buffets will fill you up — with anything and everything.

Tune in June 1, when The VAR Guy’s journey through Vegas begins.
