I guess the slogan “Are you CES READY?” inspired me to make sure that I had all my ducks in a row in advance of the biggest trade show in Vegas this year.  Over 170,000 attendees were descending upon my “hood” in and around the convention center.  Did I mention that I actually live here at the bottom of the strip?  Yup, high rise ‘LIVIN in style at Turnberry. When the trade shows come to down we hunker down for days…try not to drive (we walk, UBER or monorail), and certainly can’t eat out at popular spots.  They laughed at us at our favorite Edge Steakhouse when they saw us coming and even BENIHANA’s wouldn’t let us in…too many conventioneers.

So here is the scoop from me on CES: It was every bit as exciting as I hoped it would be and bigger and better than last year. I know folks are critical and I heard a few say that they thought it was smaller than last year, but they must be crazy.  You could walk for days in a daze through the exhibit halls. I felt privileged to be a part of it as media and hope I can share a small bit with you.
