The annual International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) – the largest running convention in the world with over 180,000 registered participants – descends upon Sin City this coming week.  If you’re coming from out of town on busness and are attending the conference, then brace yourself for hellacious crowds, physically demanding marathon race-walks, and long days stacked back-to-back with vendor/partner meetings, sales pitches, and product demos.  But hey, don’t let this Vegas trip on the company dime go to waste: heavy-hitting music artists are slated to perform at every Vegas nightclub during convention week, so the evening red carpet will be rolled out in pursuit of your corporate dollars.  You know what they say:  Network, Network Network! (and also Work Hard, Play Harder!)  And anyway, you can always catch up on sleep on the long plane ride home… or in your cubicle the next morning... or hey, when that stressful 9-to-5 of yours eventually kills you.   Viva Las Vegas!
