CES Rookie

I've been to Las Vegas four times for various reasons (hockey tournaments, golf vacations, stag) Although I've been interested in high quality audio systems for 25 years, believe it or not I've never attended a CES. This will be my first and I'm sure looking forward to it but could use some advice. I registered, that much is done. I tentatively booked flights to arrive in Las Vegas on Wednesday the 8th of January and fly out on the Saturday morning. Is two days enough time to soak up the two-channel goodies? I'm thinking I may be in overload after two days but I may be wrong. I'm thinking of booking the Best Western Hotel @ $75/night, is this a bad choice? Is it fair to say there are good deals to be had, buying up demo units etc. at the show? Finally, are any of you planning on getting together while at CES? Thanks, Jeff
