CES 2015 anyone going

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).

Oh, I see. I'm in Vegas too, and consider this, if it wasn't for consumers, they would go belly up.

I disagree somewhat that this is an audio wasteland. I'm the head of Vegas' official audio club, the Las Vegas Audio Club. We have around 20 members in our 1 1/2 year existence. Anyway, my point is, if this was a wasteland, why is the club successful?

If you care to join, drop us a line. If not, happy listening to you.

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.

Yes, there's 2 high end dealers here. Not a lot, but it's something.

There you go...

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?).
