                            Member Braden Pollock (standing at far left)
                            gathered some of those first to arrive so they could
                            introduce themselves to fellow members. 
                              
                                | By early
                                  afternoon most of the attendees had registered
                                  and ready to start a busy day of social
                                  events that gave them a chance to choose
                                  among several attractive options. One group (at
                                  right) went to the famous Neon Museum that
                                  has preserves dozens of dazzling original
                                  casino and hotel signs from the city's golden
                                  era. Having seen the museum on various TV
                                  programs over the years it was a place we
                                  always wanted to visit so we went with that
                                  group. In another photo
                                  from the Neon Museum (below) you see
                                  the massive original sign that graced the
                                  historic Moulin Rouge hotel and casino
                                  in the 1950s and 60s. There were also original
                                  signs from the Sahara, the Stardust,
                                  the Golden Nugget and many more.
                                  Nothing says Vegas like neon so it was
                                  a real treat to get this close up look at the
                                  city's history. Meanwhile, others
                                  were either exploring the city's old downtown
                                  art district on an electric scooter tour,
                                  driving exotic race cars or hiking
                                  to the highest elevation they could find in Red
                                  Rock Canyon. |

                            went on a hike at Red Rock Canyon. We heard
                            the temperature at the highest point in their trek
                            dropped to just 20 degrees!

                            After the busy day of social outings, members
                            returned to the Las Vegas Hiltonfor the opening night reception and dinner
                            sponsored by GoDaddy.

                            Some of the familiar faces in the opening night
                            crowd (left to right) were ICA Board Member Nat Cohen, Attorney Jason
                            Schaeffer,
 ICA Legal Counsel Zak Muscovitch and ICA member Ryan
                            Finnesy.

                            After dinner members were treated to an astonishing
                            show put on by veteran Las Vegas mentalist Alain
                            Nu - Tthe Man Who Knows. The
                            entertaining magician, mentalist and comedian
                            incorporated members in one remarkable trick after
                            another, including Penny Nicks (above),
                            Penny's husband Paul, Tessa Holcomb, Ammar
                            Kubba, Dr. Gregg McNair and Christian
                            Voss among others. Alain's appearance was facilitated
                            by ICA member Kina Merdinian who is a
                            personal friend of Nu's. Below:

                            to figure out how Alain Nu does it but, like
                            the rest of us, were left in amazement. Kind of the
                            way we felt were after seeing how well ICA leaders
                            performed in bringing their members such an
                            unforgettable opening day!
