I am always late on my Affiliate Summit post but I get caught up with a lot of work after the trip. Affiliate Summit was another great show but what kills me is that it’s in Vegas because I love to gamble and there where 2 nights I played Roulette until 8am then to sleep for a few hours later to goto the Summit. ASW10 was extremely packed! I didn’t even get a chance to meet-up with the Affiliates I hang out with mostly every other past Summits. I did meet-up with Ian Fernando, Wes Mahler, Justin Barr (AffBuzz) and Kris Trujillo on my first day at the Summit.
We arrived exactly at 10:30pm then headed straight to the hotel. Deciding if we should just stay in or go out we all decided to go gambling at the Bellagio. I was new to Roulette so I just threw in $10 and within 5 mintues I made $90. I learned from last year not to get to excited so I just cashed out. I stayed watching my brother and friends gambling there life away and we ended leaving the Bellagio at 7:30am.
I headed to the Meet Market and met up with Kris. It was so crowded that I just left and played Roulette with Kris and lost it all (Guess, I still haven’t learn my lesson). I don’t like the Rio hotel and I wish Shawn can change it to a better one next year. After the Roulette game we met up with Ian Fernando and Naomi from Bloosky and we headed out to eat at a Sushi spot in Caesar’s Palace. I had a great time here cause I never really ate Sushi and Kris, Ian, Naomi where trying to kill me with the Washabi. Thank God I only tried a small dot which was still pretty hot. Right after I ate I went back to the telly to rest while my brother and friends where out exploring Vegas.
We all planned to head out to Club Pure. It’s a nice club but it’s to Ian (ghetto) for me. Hearing Hip-Pop all night is not my style so we where there till 4am and sat down on the Roulette table. Once again arrived home at 8am.
I totally forgot what I did the entire morning/afternoon but later during the night I met up with Andrew Payne, His Friend (forgot his name lol) and Daniel Wiafe. Headed up to the Playboy Club but it was dead because it was on a Monday and most clubs are closed. We weren’t there for long but my brothers and friend where tired so we left and called it a night. 3rd day I was real tired so I didn’t mind taking it down.
I think it was raining this day so we stayed in the whole day. We all said to take it easy cause our flight was early the day after but we all didn’t go with the plan so left to the Bellagio to see if we can get lucky again. Got home at 4am in the morning. We all were still awake and started packing up but then the worse happens we all slept and missed our 7am flight. Had to pay an extra $50 to change flight. Shawn Collins and I had the same flight so I got to see him atleast at the airport. Overall the Summit was fun and I see it’s getting better every year. Really looking forward to both ASE10 and ASW11.

Good news for you on the hotel – we’re going to be at the Wynn next year. No more Rio.
