I’m in Las Vegas for a vacation this week staying near the Fashion Show Mall. It has the huge rotating ad video screens outdoors. There are often iPod ads. I expected iPad ads – but haven’t seen any yet.

Last night as we left a show I heard the words of the ad mentioning PRNewswire. Then turning the corner I saw the ads. It rotated stories from press releases, along with news images. It was awesome. I know this isn’t the best picture, but you get the idea. I’m so curious if it’s worth the investment to advertise – since it’s usually consumer products not business that’s advertised there.

Incidentally we stayed at Treasure Island, then at the Wynn (what a view!!). I love the Wynn except for the $30 fee to use the gym and the prices on all food (mostly worth it but not every time – the $50 light lunch was ok). Generally speaking Steve Wynn has amazing taste and you can count on everything to be good (we should’ve skipped room service at Treasure Island & gotten it here instead). We’ve hopefully walked enough to work off the calories eaten.

Anyway, my point is we also got to go into the Fashion Show Mall to the Apple store long enough for me to play with the new iPad. It made me wish I’d skipped my Kindle (which I’ve loved) and wait for the iPad.  I think it could be a business expense (like the press releases I write), right?
