Here's the gentle nudge you need if you're on the fence about joining us at ORX (888-YOUR-ORX, orexcellence.com). 1. The meeting's in Las Vegas. When's the last time you were in the Entertainment Capital of the World? Whether it's your first time or your first time in a long time, come see for yourself why Las Vegas is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. 2. You'll love the Red Rock Resort & Spa. You can tell your friends and family that you partied at the top Las Vegas luxury resort. The Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa represents the pinnacle in Las Vegas resorts and hotels. Red Rock offers guests an idyllic getaway ideally situated at the entrance to Red Rock Canyon and minutes from the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip. You couldn't ask for a more exciting place to learn and play, both indoors and out. You have until Monday, Sept. 23 to reserve your room at the discounted rate of $180. 3. You'll get to see and hear Keith Smith, MD. Few doctors are getting more media attention these days than anesthesiologist Keith Smith, MD, the co-founder of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma and the man responsible for bringing Internet-powered price transparency to surgery. Dr. Smith's ASC has ruffled a few feathers by posting "guaranteed all-inclusive surgery prices" online for the world to see. To get a true sense of Dr. Smith's vision for free-market surgery, check out Associate Editor Jim Burger's outstanding cover story ("Is Surgery Ready for Price Transparency?" on page 34).
