| Event Schedule & Hotel Information DAY 0: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2008 4:00PM – 5:00PM thinkAbout 101 in the Luxor's Nile C Salon Followed by your choice of: 5:00PM – 10:00PM Learning Las Vegas Tour with Jim Gilmore (departing directly from the 101 session) or 8:00PM – 11:00PM Lounge with Joe Pine at the Aurora lounge located in the Luxor casino Get a primer on the Experience Economy at thinkAbout 101. It's an optional, but highly recommended, level-setting for the next two days – even for thinkAbout alumni. Then choose from two decidedly different experiences: Lounge with Joe later that evening; or depart directly from the 101 session for a whirlwind tour of Las Vegas with Jim, experiencing an abbreviated reprise of our first Las Vegas Learning Excursion at thinkAbout 2001. (If you’re touring with Jim, be sure to wear comfortable walking attire and shoes, don’t bring any bags or laptops, and be prepared to trek about at a brisk pace!)
