CCA Convention in Las Vegas
The Career College Association recently held their annual convention in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay. I was an attendee and the President of my college was a speaker. This was only my second visit to Las Vegas and my second CCA convention. My wife and I had previously visited Las Vegas for a mini vacation where we stayed at the Bellagio.
During this trip I stayed at the Luxor which like many other Vegas hotels is currently under renovation. The hotel room was simple and met initial expectations. However, the age of the hotel showed through. there were obvious signs of wear and tear, the carpet was coming up from the hallway floors, and there were numerous burn marks on the walls from where visitors extinguished their cigarettes. The bed was harder than most hotel beds and the pillows were very uncomfortable. Overall, the Luxor does have some unique features and entertainment worth seeing but I prefer other Vegas hotels.
On the other hand, the CCA convention which was at Mandalay Bay was very well executed. The food was average but the staff and facilities were excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the number of seminars and the hotel was elegant. Kudos to the CCA for a wonderful experience.
