Vegas, day 2

It's about 9 pm. I'm sitting in one of our hotel rooms and the room is filled with music and laptop typing.

We just finished our first CES event. It was CES Unveiled and it was filled with people. So many people hovering over the coolest gadgets.

But there was food, although we did not touch the free sushi. And there were free drinks. We had rum and cokes in the style of Cuba. Rum, rum, rum and a splash of Coke for colour.

There were some cool gadgets. There was a UK gadget that promised to stop all spam calls.

Daorcey was particularly enamoured with an analog Duck Hunt. Sadly, there isn't a dog to taunt your bad aim.

Tomorrow is a full day of press conferences. We'll see what comes.

This photo we took was a hovercraft that was more impressive when you realized it was part of a VR game. On your iPhone you would see this hovercraft surrounded by enemies which you had to blast away. If you convinced a couple other friends to spend money on this foolish thing, you could also battle them. It's an upgraded Pokemon I guess.

On an unrelated note, we stopped by O'Sheas, a divey casino. Mike told us that during the day they have an angry midget berating tourists but at night there's nothing. Inside O'Sheas is a beer pong area. They also run beer pong tournaments. I feel old but I felt concerned that these ping pong balls are in dirty hands, on dirty floors, and then thrown into beer which is then consumed. Gross, gross. Ah, Vegas.
