💡 Pro Tips for Your Las Vegas Trip

To make your SAPinsider experience as smooth as possible, keep these tips from the organizers in mind:

• Stay in the Block: Book your room at the Bellagio by February 20 to secure official attendee rates. Staying on-site saves you commuting time.
• Beat the Line: Badge pickup usually opens on Monday. Grab your badge early in the day to avoid the Tuesday morning rush before the opening keynote.
• Hydrate & Walk: Las Vegas hotels are massive. Wear comfortable shoes and keep water on hand!
