The Lip Smacking Foodie Tour was really fun. I had a really great time with my clients just going around Vegas and trying out some of the great food options.

The opportunity to meet with suppliers from all over in one spot over a few days saved me a ton of time having people I wanted to talk to all in the same place. I loved that!
