Apparently, CES attendance by mfrs is down 10% and on Day1, visitor attendance was down about 8-10% from last year, and that was considered something of a success.
I will be leaving tonight for CES and see the last 2 days. I will provide an update either Sunday night or Monday. I had to work Friday so I could afford the trip. I will be stopping at Maggies spot, MBL, Burmeister, and the usual attractions. Martin Logan, ARC, Krell, Von Schweikert, Joseph Audio, Halcro, and the others. Will be in touch....Jallen
From what I heard, the economic downturn has hit the Mustang Ranch pretty hard so they are offering some fantastic group discounts. Don't expect a decent report till monday.
I suspect Vegas must really be hurting with this economy. They really went over the top, even for Vegas, over the last decade in regards to extravagance and expense. Maybe VEgas will now revert back to the older days when it was actually affordable to stay and eat in a nice place.
