Does anyone here venture out to the CES or Munich shows? I sometimes do CES as I 'partly' live in the states and do Munich just about every year as I'm sort of there anyway.
 
I did CES for 10 years, but I stopped in 2007. The show is so large now and everything is so spread out across the city, that it isn't fun anymore.

Montreal is not a bad show. The rooms suck but the food is great.

Vegas is also very expensive now and not worth spending $250-300 a night for a crappy room.

Top Audio was fun a few years ago. It was worth the trip to watch certain UK reviewers get into fights and chase the local hookers.
 
Frank- I was there last year and the year before. I thought the audio was only in the Venetian and at 'the show'. It wasn't so bad as the shuttle service was quite handy. And as for the rooms...for $300 per night you can get a good room. I normally stay at the Hard Rock at $500 but rooms in Vegas start at $50 a night at the Gold Coast opposite the Palms and I have met quite a few people that say it's OK if all you want is a bed.

I do like the Vegas night life...although this years snow I do not fancy. I'll probably be in Vegas on the 8th as I am in SF on the 10th.

Munich is good- if not a bit sterile. I'd like to go to Athens, that sounds like a nice holiday.

When i went to CES in 2007, i got a decent room with ease direct on the strip, about 10 minutes by bus in direction downtown, for as little as us$ 45,00 a night. There are plenty of cheap hotels, and it wont be difficult to find a room. No previous reservation needed.

I got 4 nights at the Luxor including flights for me and my wife for £800.00 I thought that was a good deal. Is the Luxor OK? Is it a bit tacky? Of course you can come Keith!
 
Have you told your wife about us? Now might be a good time!
Have a great trip, Keith.
