My honest impressions -
Very glad the strike ended before the show.
I like that the show floor was not on the theater floor like shows at The Hard Rock.
The layout was confusing, especially how they had a separated novelty consumer and b2b side. People hard trouble finding industry registration. Having AEE spread across two halls was also confusing. Would have helped to have a show floor map on some of the foam core signs.
I liked the use of the skybox area for Internext, but the stage was way too dark.
Hate the "Breakfast" spot, which used to be the default 24/7 coffee shop, and now closes at Noon. No place in the hotel to grab a burger. Thankfully, Famous Dave's BBQ (formerly Dog Haus) is across the street.
The hotel rooms are stylish and modern. But I don't care how fancy the shower is, nothing screams "getto" to me when there's no hot water when you need it most.
