It’s been about a week since I’ve got back from Las Vegas and the Consumer Electronics show. What a crazy week it was! You can check out all of the ThinkComputers coverage here. Back in 2015 I wrote my Guide To Surviving CES as a Journalist post and I still feel that many of my suggestions there reign true. After this year I have a few more tips to add to the list!
The Three Bedroom Suite At Elara
Our Las Vegas Suite tradition continues! Each year at the end of a crazy and busy week covering CES the ThinkComputers crew stays in a pretty cool suite. This gives the crew a real chance to relax and just kick back. If you can remember we started with the 2 Bedroom Hospitality Suite at Vdara…
Covering CES 2016…
If you follow me on social media then you know this past week I was in Vegas for CES 2016. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the largest trade show in North America and it is where tech companies show off their latest products. I of course was covering the event for ThinkComputers. Covering the…
How To Throw a Good CES Party
The week of CES is a lot of fun and it seems like every night there are a few parties. CES parties are quite interesting because they are not like your typical party. Most of the people who work in the industry are not typically “party people” or at least not like the people who…
A Trip Back To Beijing Noodle No. 9
When I’m in Vegas I typically try restaurants that I haven’t been to before, but I always seem to make a trip back to Beijing Noodle No. 9 at Caesars. If you didn’t know I am a huge fan of Asian food and on top of that they actually hand-pull their noodles there. That is something you don’t typically see, unless you are in New York or L.A. So Beijing Noodle No. 9 is usually on the list of restaurants I want to eat at each year.
Seeing Steve Aoki at Hakkasan
While I was in Las Vegas I had the chance to check out Hakkasan. It is one of the newest clubs in Vegas and I had yet to go to it. A bunch of industry friends were getting together to go and asked if I wanted to join. Steve Aoki was playing, and while I’m…
Dinner at Aureole Restaurant
One thing I always like about going to Vegas is trying new restaurants. Sunday night after I got in a hardware vendor invited many members of the press to a dinner to catch up and discuss their plans for the upcoming year. I really like these type of events at CES as they are more…
Wow! What a Vegas Trip This Year!
Each year in January I head to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics show and every year I don’t think it can compare to the year before, but this year really blew many of my previous trips out of the water. It seemed like everything fell into place this year and I did some things…
Dinner at Center Cut Steakhouse
It has been a bit since I updated my blog and I totally forgot to post about my dinner at Center Cut Steakhouse at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. I told my buddy Andy that I would take him out to dinner this year at CES. He wanted to go to a steakhouse and he…
The 2 Bedroom Hospitality Suite at Vdara
My recent trip to Las Vegas was mostly for business with ThinkComputers as the Consumer Electronics show was the week that I went. After booking flights I found that if I left Monday instead of Sunday I would save around $125 so staying another night in Vegas was a no-brainer. After talking to my buddy Jack about staying an extra day he said we should get an awesome suite for the last night. It sounded like a good idea and we decided on a 2 bedroom hospitality suite at Vdara.
Dinner at Social House
If you follow me on Instagram you know one of my favorite things to go eat is sushi. When I was in Las Vegas I had a chance to have dinner at Social House and it was pretty amazing. I actually went to Social House when it was in Treasure Island many years ago. Now it is located inside Crystals at CityCenter. Social House is not strictly a Japanese restaurant it is more Pan-Asian.
Gordon Ramsay Steak Las Vegas
If you noticed earlier in the year I did not talk about my annual trip to Las Vegas. I was so busy I really did not get around to talking about it. Of course like I said I am trying to blog more so I definitely wanted to share my experience at one of the…
Wicked Spoon at The Cosmopolitan
The Cosmopolitan is slowly becoming one of my favorite hotels in Las Vegas. When you walk in it has that cool feel, some of my best nights in Vegas have started at The Chandelier and Marquee is one of the best clubs in Vegas. This year I had the chance to eat at Wicked Spoon,…
The CES 2012 Parties
One of the best things about CES is the parties that companies throw. Las Vegas has some of the craziest and most over the top hotel rooms and suites. Many companies rent these suites out for private parties. This year there were 3 parties that were pretty memorable this year. The first party was the…
What a Vegas Trip!
Well as I said I was heading to Vegas for CES and I have just got back. All I have to say is what a trip! This trip seemed different than all other trips to CES. I am really not sure what it was, but it was a good feeling for sure. This year was…
