Seen in 702: Anybody else notice the increased traffic?
Welcome to the final day of CES 2020, where the estimated 170,000 conventiongoers rented 275,000 vehicles.
The largest trade show in Las Vegas involved 11 venues, 4,500 companies, 1,100 speakers and 12 bottles of Anacin.
Its impact on the Las Vegas economy will carry the region all the way to the AVN Expo later this month at the Hard Rock Hotel.
Let’s take some time and review all the fun we’ve had.
