Blogworld Expo was a gathering of bloggers from all over the world and across every possible demographic you could imagine – seriously.

The event packed a punch with excellent panels and a manageable exhibit of valuable tools and services for bloggers.

To celebrate, the Blogworld Expo crew hosted a pajama party at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel.

Very swank…but absent, were the pajamas.
This wasn’t your typical Vegas party however. It was much tamer. After all it was a blogger party and what happens in Vegas ends up in the blogosphere.

Not to be outdone, Sam Harrelson models his very creative shirt

The party ended surprisingly early. Some folks explored other venues around town while everyone else migrated over to the casino bar, blackjack and craps tables and slot machines!

To be honest, it was actually a more productive way of catching up with all of the people that I had hoped to meet.

Also, some very cool people that I met or caught up with and did not get a chance to photograph include:

The one and only Liz Strauss of Successful Blog, Marshall Kirkpatrick, Marc Harty, and iJustine.
