Travel to and Safely Enjoy Las Vegas
For March Meeting 2023, the physics community is taking over the Entertainment Capital of the World. Meeting attendees may be engrossed by mathematical models or quantum mechanics while enjoying the neon-drenched nightlife, the star-studded shows, and the decadent dining.
Perhaps in 2023, APS may even break its tradition of giving casinos record-low earnings, so goes an APS legend. Or maybe physicists, with their exceptional knowledge of probability and statistics, will continue to avoid the gaming tables. Who says that physicists can't be dazzled by both the brilliance of the latest research and the glitter of the Las Vegas Strip?
Stay safe, find travel and dining options, and discover things to do in Vegas
