It is hard to believe but in just a few months it will be time for the annual geek-camp (term credit goes to Fish) called Cisco Live!  Once again we are heading back to Las Vegas at the beautiful Mandalay Bay Convention Center.  While Vegas may not be my first choice of locations (I prefer Orlando – something to do with a Mouse), it does provide one of the best venues for Cisco Live and the attendees.  There are plenty of places to stay, eat, and things to do before and after the conference. Where else can you go from Egypt (Luxor), to the Middle Ages (Excalibur), to the streets of New York (NYNY), to Paris (Paris), to Italy (Venetian), to the the President’s Party Place (Trump Hotel) in a single night?  No place but Vegas!

 
So the big question is usually “Why do I want to go?” or “Why should I go?”, well let me tell you – Education, People, Vendors, People, the Customer Appreciation Event (CAE), and People. As you can see, I mentioned people over and over again.  Out of all the things that Cisco Live brings together, its the people that really make it the event what it is.   The picture below is two strange fellows being egged on by Denise, I blame her for this embarrassing picture.  Just glad I am not one of those guys – oh wait.

 
Now don’t get me wrong – the education opportunities of the sessions are amazing, you can find classes from basic to way over expert levels there.  You want to learn about VXLAN – last year they had at least 5 sessions last year that covered VXLAN:

There was some quick conversation on Twitter this morning about the CCIE Lab being available during Cisco Live 2011.  Well, after some digging around I was able to find a copy of the ad that talks about the availability of the lab.  Based on what the ad says, seats are available on July 9th and July 10th only.  This lab can only be scheduled via the Cisco Live registration site, below are the instructions on how to schedule.
I have to say that this is a long time coming, and lets hope they continue this with – say – the CCDE!?!?  It does not say what CCIE labs will be available, and my best guess would be R&S only at this time.
UPDATE – 5/31 – It is my understanding (from a beautiful source) that the following CCIE Labs will be available:
