I just returned from the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas where I attended as Giveaway Bandit press. CES enables consumer electronics to grow and thrive. It reaches across global markets connecting the industry with a Global Stage for Innovation. This year was a record breaking show with more than 3,250 exhibitors unveiling new technology. The space for all of this is massive across 1.9 million net square feet. It was quite an experience!

I’ve been to Vegas numerous times and this time my husband tagged along for the trip. Monday was Press Day at Mandalay Bay. Of course, we were at the opposite end of the strip so we decided on a taxi. Everyone says to use the city bus or monorail to save money but I opted for the taxi. After my first experience on a city bus, which happened to be in Vegas 11 years ago, I experienced a man with Dumb & Dumber style toe nails and decided it just wasn’t for me. Obviously living in the country we don’t have city buses so that was my last time riding one. The taxi was much quicker which is exactly what I needed. Press Day was full of conferences by companies like LG, Sharp, Livio, Panasonic and many others. I was completely exhausted.
