If you really want tech and startups, you'd want to drive or fly over to the Bay Area, which is a much nicer place than Vegas in any case - especially San Francisco.

Las Vegas is its own weird little planet that isn't much like anything else in the world, in a not entirely positive way. It is pretty good for conferences though - lots of flights and not too expensive.

Better make it two, because after you drink in too much culture, you're going to need to un-acclimatize. :)
