A couple of thoughts that come to mind...
The warmup party was to dark and to loud.
The first day of the show was to dark, better the second day.
I agree on the price of admission...it either A) needs to come down or B) there needs to be some real value for your dollar. I was hoping B would happen this year but it did not.
I did like the fact that everything was close and centralized. Well, as centralized as I think you are going to get in Vegas.
The Palms had its issues, but I ate every meal there and have nothing but good things to say about both service and quality of food. The food came out fast and was SUPER yummy!
It was my first time attending the live domain auction. I really enjoyed it.
The mini schedulers were a great idea. I still prefer when they put the schedule on the back of your show badge.
This did not offend or bother me, but I did hear several people make comments about the food being on the show floor. Not exactly sure what the issue with that was.
I really liked the timing of this show being pushed back. It made for a nice break between the Holidays and the show.
One other thing that bugged me was really not an AVN issue. But I was walking around and went up to a certain company's "booth" to check them out, meet them, etc. and was told that unless I had a scheduled meeting or was a current client I was not allowed. I found this very rude and definitely made a mental note to self on this one.
I think that is about it
It was good to see everyone!
