As I leave today for the Miss America pageant in Las Vegas, I think about the best Vegas trip I've ever had...which was my most recent.  Last time I was in Sin City, I rode shotgun with Miss Dallas USA 2008, Christina Campfield, on the most ridiculous ride known to any living thing -- Stratosphere's Insanity.  Needless to say they named the ride correctly.

Soon I'll reunite with the chance to see my life once again "flash before my eyes"...but not before being greeted by the iconic "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign reminding me what this Miss America weekend has in store.  As the state of Nevada welcomes me to their fabulous city, I gladly welcome the fabulous Miss Nevada 2010, Cris Crotz to thePageantGuy.com.

We certainly appreciate the self proclaimed "accidental beauty queen" spending time with us to interview despite her busy schedule!  It's certainly no accident that Miss Nevada 2010 will be competing for the Miss America crown this Saturday night.  Best of luck Cris!
