I published my 'tips' here: http://penguinsix.com/2009... Tip 1: Keep your luggage tag as LAS airport requires them for checked bags. And others (like rent a car cause you'll never get a cab). - Andrew Leyden

Gadget sites I watch while walking around show floor: http://www.engadget.com/ http://gizmodo.com http://gearlive.com http://crunchgear.com - Robert Scoble

For folks still looking for a press badge: http://siliconangle.com/groups... - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Hotel Scoble's staying in: Trump Towers. Hotel everything for bloggers is happening at? Wynn (across the street). Hint: I'll be at the Wynn a lot more than my own hotel. - Robert Scoble

What are the "must see" gadgets? Last year the Schwinn bike was one. The guy who showed me that is saying that Sanyo has a cool bike this year: http://twitter.com/dpoliti... - Robert Scoble

Is there a blogger lounge this year? I've heard of a few of them but haven't gotten details. - Robert Scoble

I'm looking forward to see the Boxee Box, could that be one of the most anticipated gadgets of the show? - Oscar Yasser Noriega

CES official site: http://www.cesweb.org/ It's in Las Vegas next week. Most of us are arriving on Wednesday and going home Saturday. - Robert Scoble

Best press event? Showstoppers on Thursday night. That's where you'll see all the cool small companies. http://www.showstoppers.com/ - Robert Scoble

Isn't Lenovo having a blogger lounge thing/party? - Andrew Leyden

Best party for bloggers? The "It Won't Stay in Vegas CES Blogger Party." http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event... -- gotta have an invite to this, but I hear a few celebrities will be there. - Robert Scoble

CNET has a CES page with their best of innovations awards: http://ces.cnet.com/ - Robert Scoble

We should start a drinking game. First game? Everytime an ebook reader gets announced you have to take a drink. If I play I will be very drunk within the first hour. - Robert Scoble

Google News for CES: http://news.google.com/news... lots of early press releases covered here. - Robert Scoble

Anything else we need to link in here? - Robert Scoble

I like going to the 'Asia' room at CES because there you meet the factory reps of all the tech manufacturers and some of the really wacky things they have dreamed up. - Andrew Leyden

Yeah, and Rocky is coming with me with our big Panasonic gear. But I'll also try to do some live stuff as well with my Droid. - Robert Scoble

Andrew: yeah, those rooms are always fun to see where gadgets will go over next year. - Robert Scoble

FTR if I go this will be my first year at CES amazingly - really hoping I can make it - Jesse Stay

Ben Parr: what is Mashable expecting will be the coolest press conference at CES? - Robert Scoble

Still debating whether I want to go or not. Haven't reserved a room but the boyfriend wants to go. It has nothing to do with AVN being at the same time, nothing at all. - EricaJoy

Wish these guys would come East once in a while. Miami, Jax, Savannah, Charleston, D.C. -- all are fun towns. - Ward Mundy

EricaJoy: This is my 7th CES and I've never seen so many last minute hotels still available. Usually you have to go as far as 30 miles away this late in the game, but there are still options. - Andrew Leyden

Andrew, that's partly why I'm considering going this year - Jesse Stay

I deleted comments here that didn't have much to do with CES, just to keep this all on topic. - Robert Scoble

Jesse: I've never seen rooms so cheap. I saw $89 at Luxor and we're paying $200 for Trump Towers (brand new hotel). - Robert Scoble

Ward: even with a much smaller size CES can't be in any other town than Vegas. It's that big. Still will be more than 100,000 attendees. - Robert Scoble

Luxor, Circus Circus, Excalibur, and several other places off the strip are < $100 a night this year. - Andrew Leyden

Robert, yeah - prices are amazing right now. I'm thinking about driving my new Mustang down there just for the roadtrip. - Jesse Stay

Jesse: getting there is a bit of a challenge. United was trying to charge me $800 for a roundtrip. SOuthwest is $400 (from SFO). I'd drive. You probably will beat some people who have to wait in security lines, etc. - Robert Scoble

I love the Utah->Las Vegas trip, so long as there's no snow storm! - Jesse Stay

One tip? Order a limo instead of wait for a taxi. Taxi lines in Vegas can be more than an hour long. - Robert Scoble

Vaibhav: nope, my family is staying home for this one. Little Milan is a real troublemaker in planes now. - Robert Scoble

Another tip if you're on a budget: Get the week-long bus pass and you can just take the bus up and down the strip for really cheap. - Jesse Stay

Or, if you're driving, Valet at almost every hotel is free. Average person tips $2-$3, so that's cheap as well. - Jesse Stay

If I go, I'm driving. From San Jose. Oi. - EricaJoy from IM

Jesse: someday I'll tell you a story when I was broke in Vegas, walking home from the Dvorak party (which was really big at Comdex, Bill Gates was there). I met some interesting people on the walk home (it's about four miles down the strip if I remember right). - Robert Scoble

Erica: we did that in a bus last year and the bus broke down. Hopefully our plane doesn't break down. Expect to spend 11 hours on the road, less if you drive very fast and don't stop long. - Robert Scoble

Bill Gates brought his dad for his first Comdex appearance. I think he ran the projector. :-) - Ward Mundy

Sounds like an interesting story - I'd definitely love to hear it. - Jesse Stay

Another thing I want to do some time is tour the tunnels underneath and get pictures. There's an entire city underneath the city of homeless people. - Jesse Stay

Ward: one of my favorite experiences of the 1990s was walking around Comdex/Windows World with Bill and talking to him about Visual Basic and just in time compilers. - Robert Scoble

I'm a drive fast and hard kind of lady. I only stop when I have to make a bio-break and I average 80-90mph. - EricaJoy from IM

Erica: use Waze and report any speed traps so other geeks don't get caught. :-) - Robert Scoble

Is Leo Laporte driving a Ford/Lincoln Urban Assault Vehicle? Maybe you could hitch a ride. - Andrew Leyden

Andrew: yeah, I hear Laporte is going with Ford who is sponsoring his show. Me? I already have a flight down there. I've done the driving thing too many years now. - Robert Scoble

For those still considering going, avoid flying in Wed. It's sold out. Just come on Thursday and try to go on Sat. You can still find some good airfares (I just booked mine Thursday AM / Sat. for $300 from Washington DC) - Andrew Leyden

I just talked with someone who knows CES very well and knows a lot of the Engadget/Gizmodo tech press. He says there's some things that are interesting, but overall he hasn't seen any really exciting announcements coming. I keep hoping that there'll be something more interesting than yet another copy of the Kindle or yet another Netbook. Anyone? - Robert Scoble

Oscar: latest version of boxee release http://blog.boxee.tv/2009... is exciting, since the software is crossplatform - Mike Chelen

I recently got an invite to Boxee beta. It's pretty sweet. Wish I could write on it, but NDA. I'd be interested to see this new Boxee Box with the Nvidia Ion that they're talking about running it on. - Justin Drew

Palm is going to wow some people with their announcement if they really are doing OpenGL and native apps as it appears they will, rather than just announce Palm Pre/Pixi on Verizon with a possible size bump which is what had been expected. - Joshua Lee

Justin: probably Intel Atom 330 (1.6GHz, dual-core) with GeForce 9400 like http://www.newegg.com/Product... nice compact ITX board - Mike Chelen

Mike: thanks for the link, looks like an interesting piece of tech. What I'm really looking forward to seeing are "hopefully" playable demos for Project Natal and Sony's motion controller. - Justin Drew

The Geek's Guide to Las Vegas for CES 2010 - 5th Annual Edition! http://bit.ly/7hpIOg - Brian Benz

Hey Robert - you still thinking about coming up for Sundance at the end of January? - Jesse Stay
