CES Leaving Las Vegas? Say It Ain’t So!
Buzz here in Vegas… from the local news to MSNBC, is that CES may be leaving its historic home of lights and full-filled, Las Vegas in coming years.
Hotel rates during this week have soared over recent years often charging attendees $400 or $500 a night for rooms that are usually under $200. And both attendees and exhibitors alike are beginning to complain. Loudly.
In fact, word on the street is that if you mention “CES” when you book a reservation, you’re often quoted a higher, instead of lower price for the room. Case in point, suites at the Venetian “for CES” were booked at upwards of $400 in advance, but “walk-ins” here on Saturday night were quoted a price much closer to $200.
Heard a stat that Las Vegas makes more than $2Million during the week CES comes to town. That would be an awful big chunk of change to walk away from.
