Insider Tips for CES
Wear the most comfortable shoes you own — the show floor spans multiple buildings across LVCC and takes 3+ days to cover fully
Get the CES app before arrival — the interactive floor map is essential
The monorail runs from LVCC to Bally's/Paris/MGM Grand — faster than rideshare during peak hours
Rideshare surge can hit $80+ for a 5-minute trip during badge pickup day — walk or monorail
Tech media parties (TechCrunch, Engadget, The Verge) are invite-only but listed on their sites — register early
Eureka Park (startup zone) requires a separate Venetian badge — worth the detour for early-stage tech
