- The dates of Fall '93 COMDEX in Las Vegas should be Nov. 15 -19 (M - F).
- ^^^^^^
- Where to stay! Depends on what you can afford. The main exhibition halls are
- the LV Convention Center (LVCC), Sands Convention Center, and the Hilton with
- exhibitions also at Bally's, Riviera, Tropicana...
-
- The cheapest place to stay is with a friend or relative. Otherwise, out on or
- near the Strip puts you where it's happening. Obviously, the major hotels are
- the most expensive, but there are a number of smaller places which are cheaper.
- But remember... during COMDEX ALL places will be booked up and do tend to raise
- their rates for that week.
-
- Based upon 1991 & 1992:
- Tickets for admission to the exhibitions cost $75, but all exhibitors get a
- number of them to distribute as complimentary passes... so they aren't all that
- difficult to come by.
-
- Extra-curricular activities!(??) You got to be kidding!
-
- This is Las Vegas!!!! Whatever your interest, you can surely find...
- somewhere... if not everywhere.
-
- Oh, if you really want to stick with computer stuff, there are
- always a number of private parties sponsored by various vendors
- each evening... make friends with some an see if you can get an
- invitation.
-
- Misc. hints: Wear COMFORTABLE shoes!
-
- And, if you are one (like me) who can't resist picking up
- brochures, trinkets, and the occasional complementary
- packages or demos... plan to either lug back a lot more
- then you brought... or if flying and smart, plan to ship
- your booty home... take a roll of tape, labels, scissors,
- and get boxes from whoever you use to ship... UPS, FedEx,
-
- By the way, the dates I have beyond next year for Fall COMDEX are:
- 1994 Nov. 14 - 18
- 1995 Nov. 13 - 17
