As usual, I'll attend T.H.E. Show at the Flamingo.
This is no where near CES in quantity or quality but
I've had memorable experiences there:
1. Saw the late-great H.P. a few years ago,
2. Heard a Walker turntable in the most 'bitchen system
ever (as well as gabbing with Mr. Walker himself!),
3. Heard a fabulous all Wilson demonstration by Peter
McGrath,
4. Got thrown out of a room for playing Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Et cetera...
It's a personal thing (Catholic upbringing?) but I feel like I'm intruding if I don't have a legitimate right to be there. I know these audio companies spend uber bucks to be there and need to squeeze every drop of benefit for time spent. They don't need me, a lowly consumer, taking up space.
It would be nice if the CES had a "public day" so I could go. BTW, I'm a 'Vegas resident (audio wasteland).
I agree that people who LIVE in LV have audio equipment.
I'm saying that there are no hard core audio DEALERS here.

I can't wake up, on my day off, and say: Hmmmm, I think I'll drive over to XYZ audio and look around.

This requires a 10 hour round trip to L.A. or Phoenix.

Bummer.
Hi Dave,
These are not "Hard Core" audio dealers.
These are Home Theater sellers who may have connections to high-end brands (almost nothing on display).
There is another HT dealer on Valley View (South of Tropicana) who is (was?) selling ARC, Cary, Revel but they never answer their door (appointment only?).
Hi Davy,
Saying something sucks when, indeed, it sucks isn't "poisonous and self defeating", it is merely the truth (as I see it).
Please allow me the intellectual freedom of expressing my opinion.
