A report on the
2010
Napoleonic Conference
November 12-14
Venetian Hotel
Las Vegas
 

The Grand Canal at the Venetian

This year's venue was something of a departure for the Society, which usually selects sites with a specific historic interest, but we thought it was time to try a different tack. 

The Colonnade at the Venetian

Without the Venetian, we would probably not have considered Las Vegas at all,  but the Venetian is one of the most lavish hotels in the world. Its elegant baroque atmosphere (certainly evocative of Napoleon), its unique selection of fine restaurants (six of the greatest chefs in America under one roof), Broadway quality shows, its luxurious suites and a real bargain room rate made this a once in a lifetime opportunity for the society and its members.

Our programs featured interesting speakers and subjects, and the hotel offered a stunning choice of venues where members could gather to talk about their favorite historical subjects. We  understand someone even found a casino somewhere on the premises.
