Consumer Electronic Show to Flood Vegas

The Las Vegas tourism industry is geared up for a wild ride. The 2010 Consumer Electronics show is expected to be attended by nearly 110,000 people. This is annually one of the largest trade shows in the world. CES organizers believe that a late push in on-site registration could bump attendance above the predicted 110,000 people.

Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft, will kick off this year’s show with a pre-CES address tonight. People are eager to get to this year shows. Last years participants that had planned to be at the 2009 show canceled at the last minute when the full weight of the economic downturn hit. Myers said she didn’t expect the same late cancellations this year.
