CES in Las Vegas worth the trip?

Here is the real truth:
Even if you won't like CES in LV you'll(i bet) love Las Vegas just by itself or you can even try your fortune there:^)

P.S. It seems to me that we(audiofiles) are being ignored by the hotel builders and we should clearly state to them that we want hotel rooms treated and designed for proper acoustics:^)

The Montreal show is a better show if Stereo is your thing. Plus the fact for Americans its about a 35% discount on everything due to the dollar. Great deals and a World Class city.

One more thing. Bad sound at a show due to room is such a cop out. Why do some rooms sound great and some sound awafull. .

Its the gear. Plain and simple. Mostly due to lack of synergy and bad choices of associated gear.

Stop blaming the room. 90% of people have no better a room to work with at home.

Bad sound = bad set up and bad gear.

Like I said if every room sounded bad then I would agree.

Things like booking the room one day in adavnce so you can make the best of the situation.

Nothing like walking in a room 10 minutes after the show starts and its not ready yet.

What's the montreal show?

I haven't been to the CES Show before, but have been to Las Vegas quite often for a bigger show - the National Association of Broadcasters Television Show - that typically draws 110.000+ television people. I do plan to go
to the CES show - in large part - to see what sort of new equipment is coming to the market in th months ahead.
That's one of the really great features of these trade shows - is to actually see working equipment long before it arrives at dealers or is written up in various trade or enthusiast magazines. I would deffinately say - GO FOR IT.
Also, if you live in a cold weather climate, you will appreciate the warm desert weather. WAY BETTER THAN ANYTHING IN CANADA!
