CES in Las Vegas worth the trip?


I'm considering going to CES show in Las Vegas (jan 9-13 I believe). Biggest reason, I'd love to go somewhere where I can hear different setups, different speakers, different amps, etc.

Do you think it's worth the trip?

Last year was also my first show, and first trip to Vegas, and to say it was well worth it is a great understatement. Albert is correct ... it is more of a social event than a serious audition. Go and enjoy!
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.
