Consumer Electronics Show Wraps at Convention Center

Hi Vegas fans,
I'm a bit of a techie... not a really big nut - I save that insanity for my love of Vegas. But I do keep up with the latest trends. And there isn't a bigger show for tech fans than CES every year. One of my favorite items this year is Samsung's  OLED TV. It's 55 inches and less than half an inch thick. Wow. If it gets any thinner, you'll have to put it on a couple of slices of bread and call it a sandwich.


I find some of the stats about the show as amazing as the actual products. Here are just a few:

  • 1.86 Million Net Square Feet of Exhibit Space - the largest in its history
  • Product launches from more than 3,100 exhibitors 
  • More than 20,000 product announcements

I hope this is a positive sign for the electronics industry and for Las Vegas. I mean, those folks at the show will probably spend some time away from the exhibit floor and on the casino floor. I know I would.


Viva,
Mike

Consumer Electronics Show

Hi Vegas fans,

It's time to get your geek on. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is in Las Vegas again, and it's a huge show (over 125,000 attendees!) at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Venetian. Follow the show and its many, many products, vendors and exhibitors on their website: http://www.cesweb.org/default.asp.

I love gadgets, and I'd love to see the show someday. However, I am not crazy about huge crows, and I love discounts and cheap travels to Las Vegas more, so it'll probably be a while before I attend. Still, I bet it's lotsa fun.

Viva,
Mike
