Kimmy, sorry, you missed the bigger picture. Mandalay Bay will, provided the show guarantees a certain number of room nights, give the show space for free. That means that 100% of the revenue from the booths on the show floor is profit. I don't have to do the math to show you how much money that represents. They won't move the video show because (1) they are always there, and (2) closer to CES, which is one of the biggest sources of visitors to the event. It is very hard to teach people who have been doing the same thing for years to go to another hotel for a public show. Webmasters are talented, we show up wherever we are told to go.
Gonzo, did you ever get your badge scanned? I put something in front of my badge so that it wasn't scanable, but I saw many people getting scanned repeatedly, which in each case is someone buying the info on your registration.
