Here is the announcement:
As you can see from the map, it is indeed closer…
This would probably save me about an hour a day, figuring it takes about 45 -50 minutes to walk from the Venetian to the Alexis Park, and only about 15 minutes to the Flamingo… But getting to the rooms in the Flamingo will take some amount of time, whereas at the Alexis you were just there.
Room setup will take longer, since at the Alexis Park you could more or less drive up to your room and unload. Dreyage and union issues at the Flamingo could be as bad as at the Venetian – which would cause people to decide the might as well exhibit at CES at the Venetian instead of THE SHOW this year. Then again, if the Flamingo actually WANTS US THERE, as opposed to the Venetian hating our guts and not letting us audiophile trash use the bathroom facilities, then maybe everyone will instead move over the the Flamingo.
Anyway, lots of unknowns at this point, I’m sure we’ll all learn more soon.
