  • I LOVE CES. I've only been once, but this is gadget and technology heaven. You get to see and touch things before they're even out on the market. Also, the free swag is nice. I must've gotten like 20 iPhone or iPod Touch cases. Sorry Android users...there was only like one free case for a specific Android device. But Samsung was giving away free Samsung phone batteries! I definitely recommend reading the First Timer's guide to CES https://www.cesweb.org/faq/first-timer.htm (download the guidebook). The chapstick, lotion, and ditching the jacket were great advice. We got one of the daily deals for MGM Signature 1-bedroom suites with 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen. We booked restaurant reservations (Mon Ami Gabi) and show reservations (Recycled Percussion) in advance, and got in touch with club promoters in advance to set up clubbing (Tao/Lavo). You don't need reservations for buffets but go early, like at 5 PM. We took both the free shuttle and the monorail with the 3-day monorail CES discount. Monorail is much faster but if you go during peak hours, the lines are crazy. I lived at MGM Signature so we were at the beginning of the route, which means it's much easier to get a seat if you care. I wore business casual but dress varies widely depending on what you're there for. I also brought a backpack for my food and a small bag for swag, but there will be at least 30 free bags there too if you can find one before you start collecting stuff. I mostly ate snacks while walking or taking breaks, and bought small salads at the convention center food courts. The lines are insane, but salads are self-serve so the only line you have to wait in is the cashier line. There aren't that many food trucks outside despite what the Mashable map said. I'd hit up Central Hall first, then North Hall, South Hall, and the Venetian. Central Hall is definitely where all the major companies and fun stuff is, and most of the freebies are in North & South Hall (more in South). The Venetian is more specialized (e.g. photography, etc) but I hardly had time to check it out. For me, the highlights of 2012's CES were: - Samsung's transparent LCD (smart window) - Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone - Dual-display TVs - Asus ultrabook - Toshiba 3D 4X HD TV - Fulton wireless power - Nikon D4 - Samsung Galaxy Note - Corning Gorilla Glass 2
