Las Vegas, HPE Discover and the heat was on – HPE lights a fire as it goes Cloudless; really? Find out more … Summer in Las Vegas is not for the faint of heart nor is it for those who may be prone to fainting. Fortunately, for those who happened to have made room reservation in either the Venetian or the Palazzo, there was never any real reason to step outside.
