Wow, it seems that now is the prime time to start booking hotel rooms for the 2008 CES. Last year we stayed at a friends place in Las Vegas. This had its benefits (free!) but it also had its faults. Mostly, time. It took 30-45 minutes to get from where we were staying to parked and ready on the strip.
Plus, since we are flying this year, we would also need to rent a vehicle - even more money. So, I decided that we (me, Keith, Kattikawn and THE WORLD FAMOUS) will stay at a hotel on the strip this year. This will give us much better access to events and travel time will be cut out completely.
I spent a few hours researching hotels and rates today and ultimately decide on Treasure Island. My buddy Bob stayed there last year and from the looks of the video he took of the room, it seems to be a nice place. Plus, it is right in the middle of the strip.
Even with the CES discount, the room rates are still pretty hefty - about $280 per night, multiply that by seven nights… well, you can do the math! I will be placing my reservations tomorrow
