I will be going to Vegas this year for a whole week for AEE & Internext, just as I do every year since AEE was a curtained off section of CES. But I agree that the Palms is not that great. The place is full of cigarette smoke with almost no ventilation, the show floor in a nightclub is pretty lame in my opinion and everything is grossly overpriced. I will be staying across the street at the Gold Coast during Internext and hopefully be using a free badge from a sponsor or contest. Going inexpensively makes for a better ROI on my part.
