  They (Circus Circus, and all hotels in Las Vegas) do it every year. If you book early or through the NAB Housing Office it is mitigated as much as possible. However supply and demand rules. Since demand peaks just before the convention due to last minute bookings, book early is good advice. I booked three weeks ago through NAB housing links for $59, 39, 39 for the three nights. My airfare was similarly cheap.


  As to why go, touchy-feely is but one reason. Exchange of info, meeting with other similarly-minded users, presentations, networking, product demos, shopping for projects that clients ask about looking to provide niche or uniques services... The list goes on. For me, I'd like to some new meet some new prospective clients especially in new fields like IT for broadcast systems, information sharing for new, non-broadcast related media outlets. 


  What about you? 


  Contact me off list if you decide to go. We should have a SBE contracter get together... Any sponsors out there?

    what really pisses me off is that vegas continues to up the rates around this time because they can still get the $$$ from all the foriegn broadcasters.  americans and small biz get f'ed again.  NAB should have a buy american / employ american discount.  but it long ago became the Int'l Assoc of Bcast.
     
    look at the game circus circus is playing with their discount.
     
    if they want me to attend, give me a financial incentive.  right now there is neither the discount nor the potential revenue as a reason to attend.

    As a buddy (Clyde Smith at Turner) said about NAB... "The irony of all this is that I talked people into not going to save money and this turns out to be the cheapest NAB in many years." 


    Hence, the law of supply and demand has a death grip on knowledge and information.

      Sorry, I'm not going to NAB this year. Almost no one I know is going to NAB.  So you can relay my position, which would be a picket sign saying no more stupid spending on EAS or other feel-good do nothing systems [airport security, disproportionate pat down of large breasted women, harassing handicap travelers, government intrusion into private lives of citizens]  to waste our tax dollars.
