Just to counter this view, if the show moved to Vegas, I would go
every year -- and enjoy staying in fabulous hotels at the same price
as a flea-infested 1-star in Tucson during the show. Don't get me
wrong -- I've enjoyed every one of my Tucson visits, but the hotel/
motel price-jacking during the show is a serious sore point with
me. I think we all know what $130/night for a hotel will get you
in Tucson in early February. For that same price or less, you can
stay in any one of a dozen 4-star hotels on the Strip. --Rob

Personally, if the show moves to Las Vegas, I won't go.

2010 will be my 6th (straight) show, and I have tentative plans to go (to Tucson) for many more years but I won't go to Las Vegas, even once.

Just my personal opinion/reaction to Las Vegas (yes, I've been there on a vacation tour).
