We stayed, as I’ve mentioned, in a rented house. This minimized our contact with hotels, and it also gave us better dining choices- we had dinner one night at a great thai place and another at a brazillian steakhouse. This made for interesting evenings- the thai was spicy and nearly killed us and the steak was voluminus and- you guessed it- nearly killed us. Only the lack of woodwork in the typical Vegas tract house architecture prevented us from self immolating.

I was most impressed by the non-gun folks. The ammo people are doing amazing things, and the survival/foods/accessory stuff was amazing. Most interesting to me was the Brass Magnet, which is on my buy list soon- but I wish I had gotten one at the show special price!
