DrB - Ive been to pretty much every show in Vegas and Florida - my opinion is that the last two shows in Florida as well as the last one in Vegas were a total waste of money for the badges
I really enjoyed meeting with people, playing poker, dinners, lunches(thanks cd34) parties (I even sponsored two of the players balls) and everything in between - however the show floor in all cases was a total disappointment - and had nothing to do with the AVN show next door, or the lack of babes etc etc - it was the lack of any sponsors that really wanted to push their biz that way - while there were a few that do the booth thing every year and probably can justify it - it seems that the drop in floor traffic and booth advertisers has accelerated to the point of no return.
The days of the extravegant booths and draws that we saw back in the 2001-2 era just isnt there anymore - as most sponsors have had to cut overhead just like every other biz - and until someone can come up with a way to draw in the little sponsors with cheaper rates for booths, as well as PROMOTING it!!! - the show will continue to dwindle down to nothing
