To Wannabe and Hitch, Re Vegas and Comdex.

Unless you booked plane tickets and a hotel room this summer your probably out of luck. For the last five years I've lived in Phoenix and attended COMDEX every year. It is insane. The cell phone network gets overloaded. Lines to get a cab can run 1-2 hours. There are people everywhere you turn.

The first year I went I made the mistake of thinking I could get a room based on a cancellation. After trying every hotel in Vegas (even some of the seedy ones) I ended up spending the night at a craps table. Since then I've made day trips from Phoenix. Unfortunately, this year I am currently in Canada and will be unable to attend.

The other issue is the entrance ticket. If you know anyone in the computer industry you should be able to get one free. Otherwise it will cost ~$50.

Don't get me wrong. I think Comdex is a great experience. However, it is not something I would approach with out planning.

PS. Is there anyone on this thread who is going and can report back?
