Was at that center yesterday, left to move to the Sands convention center literally minutes before the blackout occurred which meant at least we got onto the shuttle bus line and boarded as things went dark. I'd hate to imagine the lines of people 10 mins after we left :) CES is a sea of people with with convention halls filled with some neat things and a lot of 'just stuff'...

It certainly was very wet Tues with roads flooding over as Vegas road drains were overwhelmed. So I can imagine water getting into things that it shouldn't have :)

cheers,
george.

That must have been an utter relief to the visitors. What a crock it is, schmucks.
