VMworld 2011 Photowalk Details
Monday, August 22 2011 15:14 Written by VMGuru
It's that time of the year again. We have a ridiculously large number of VM geeks all converging on a single location for THE event of the year. After what I would consider a success in Copenhagen, I'm bringing the VMworld Photowalk #vmwalk to the US. I was actually quite surprised by the number of individuals on Twitter who had mentioned that they have not yet had a chance to "Photograph Vegas". Well, I'm now providing a great excuse to do so.
When: Sunday August 28th, 11am - 3PM PST
Where: Meet at the fountain straight out the front entrance of the Venetian along Las Vegas Blvd. (See image below)
Who: Individuals with any skill level who just want to go out and walk around Vegas with a group of individuals and talk shop. Mobile phone cameras or pro rigs, we don't care.

The Route: I had originally intended on a 2-Part Photowalk before realizing the temperature was going to be 105* F (41*C), which is hot, even if it's a "Dry Heat". For that reason, I want to stick to the Strip. This way water, beer, and even girly slushy drinks served in a yard are abundant. This will also allow us to step inside a few casino's like the Bellagio, who has a great glass ceiling that is always fun to photograph.
The total route is 3 miles and should take just over 3 hours to complete. At the end of the walk, I will be buying at least 1 round of cold beverages to those that stick it out to the end at a watering hole somewhere near the Venetian. This should give any vExperts time to take a shower before heading to the vExpert event being organized by John Troyer.
In order to "Sign Up" for the event, shoot an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or send me a message or mention on Twitter (@VMGuru). Once you have confirmed attendance, I'll provide more direct contact details so you can find me if you get a later than expected start to the day.
I look forward to seeing everyone in Vegas and having another successful Photowalk!
