NOTE: You may want to Bookmark this page to use when planning your trip to CES 2009 in Las Vegas.
1. Eat Breakfast & Review Your Plan for the Day...every morning. This may sound simple to you now. However, over the years it has greatly improved each day at the show. You may want to take the CES Shuttle Bus over to the show 30-60 minutes early to have a cup of Coffee and "EAT Breakfast," Relax and Read the "Daily CES" Newspaper before the doors open. The food has improved over the years and there are excellent new product announcements in the Daily Paper. 2. Buy Comfortable Shoes for the Show - It makes a world of difference if you have the correct shoes for this show. My favorites are Ecco footwear. I found them 10 years ago and NEVER go to a trade show without them on my feet. They give me six extra hours without my feet hurting...They really work. You can buy them at Nordstroms or other top Shoe Stores. Note: If you forgot to bring comfortable shoes, run over to either the Forum Shops or the Fashion Show Mall to pick up a pair. 3. Plan Extra Time to get around Las Vegas and the Show. There are 150,000+ people that attend the show with you...and you really feel it Day and Night. There are Long Lines for everything and everywhere. Be patient and plan to just wait. Bring an iPod filled with music and podcasts that you can listen to while you wait in the many lines. Note: The Monorail System goes right to the Las Vegas Convention Center from many of the top hotels. Click here for more info on Las Vegas Transportation 4. Bring a Carry-on Suitcase or Backpack with Wheels during the show. Use it to keep your water, notebook, coat, umbrella, extra business cards and literature. There is 1.8+ million net square feet of exhibit space to walk...and you do not want to carry all of your "Stuff" on a shoulder bag. 5. Ideally, book your Hotel
Reservations early to get some of the best CES
rates and hotel locations. Click

6. Visit the "What's New" in Las Vegas Section of the "Love to Eat and Travel" Web site to plan fantastic dining and fun events during your trip. Click here to see "What's NEW" in Las Vegas 7.
Make Group Dining Reservations in advance. This restaurant list will give you a head start on the crowds. 8. Schedule a round of Golf during your business trip. 9. Reserve tickets for " Fun Things to Do" for you, your Family, Clients or Employees. The top events sell out quickly. Reserve your tickets ASAP. Las Vegas Sports Tickets 10. Take Lots of Breaks during the day. Sit down and relax for 10 minutes...at least once in the morning and once mid-day. It does make a difference over the four days. Here are a few more Tips... 11. How to Plan your Show in Four Days During the day you need to schedule your time or you will miss key products, trends and contacts. The show is too big not to do this. The main Las Vegas Convention Center and the Sands Convention Centers are extremely large. If you do not write down your show goals in advance, you will NOT see the important 2009 technology and products. An evening plan is important because you are in Las Vegas
for just a few nights...and you are there with 150,000 other
people from around the world... all trying to go out at night.
There are also lots of fun vendor parties to attend, great
new shows and new restaurants. 12. Don't forget to Buy Las Vegas
Gifts.
Note: You may want to buy "Las Vegas" gifts for You, Your Family, Business Associates, Trade Show Team Members, Customers, Clients, Prospects, Partners and the Press.
Good luck with your business and don't forget to have fun Back to our Main CES 2009 show page
