CES in Las Vegas

Next year's CES is in SIN CITY, scheduled from 1/7/10 - 1/10/10.

I plan on attending if I am able to pull wool over the WIFE's eyes and act like this is going to be a get away for two.

"Here babe, I have a suprise for you, two tickets for u and I to spend the week-end in LV". We will see how this goes.

Now for those who have had the opportunity to attend in the past, here are a couple of questions.

1. Can any one attend CES or this is purely for commercial folks?

2. How does CES compare to others such as Rocky Mountain etc
