Interop Nights: Parties and After-Hours Events

Las Vegas is certainly a convention destination in no small part due to it's nightlife. Next week's Interop 2007 will be no exception. I imagine the expo floor will be 1 part business, 1 part hangover and 1 part hustling a pass into that night's big party.

Here is a preview of some of Interop's Spring 2007 parties.

I'll be attending as many events and parties as I can next week. I'll be wearing "Vibrant" Orange sneakers (pictured), so say hello if you spot me at the show or after-hours!

Question 1:
Can one wear orange Adidas into Lure and/or Tryst?

Question2:
Any parties or after-hours events I've missed?

Shake and Bake.
