Neli took the photos this year. Mike stayed home, deciding that there was just not enough to do at CES this year. These were taken with her Samsung S8. Very nice.
CES this year is even smaller than last year.
I count a very generous 66 rooms plus or minus, including rooms for earbuds, headphones and magazines. This is a far cry from just a few years ago when we had around 200 rooms in the Venetian and 60 to 100 rooms at T.H.E. Show held nearby.
But Neli wants to go, so…. [She’ll probably be found most of the time in the Lamm room. Me? I plan on taking photos, but think I’ll also be spending some time downstairs checking out the several 1000 booths in the Sands convention center]
Here are the floor plans:
Lamm and Chord are the only people left on 34 and 35.
The rest of the rooms are on floor 29 [nothing is on 30 or 31 anymore except unrelated CES demo and meeting rooms].
CES has been declining for several years according to some statistics, not just the high-end audio portion. But it is big enough that it garners press attention, especially the main part of the convention. [“Google Assistant vs. Amazon Alexa”. OMG. As long as I can command either using my awful emulation of the Picard-esque “Computuh…”, I am good. :-)]
