We'll be in booth 249 in Law Enforcement with a bunch of new toys.
You don't have to be "industry" to get into the SHOT Show. All big Las Vegas trade shows say that but the dirty little secret is that it takes next to nothing to get into them. They really say it to try and cut down on the consumers so people can get more business done. Of course I'm only telling my fellow Steyr brethren this.
You can usually register for any show online, and no credentials are necessary. If you ever need credentials, they most likely will simply ask for a business card. You can print something up at home and simply say you are an independent sales rep visiting your vendors. It's that simple.
Now hurry up, Southwest flights are still only about $200 round trip from the East Coast!

P.S. Stay at one of the Station Casinos (Palace, Boulder, Sunset, etc.), they are waaay cheaper than things on the strip. If you must be near the strip, the Stratosphere is a pretty good place but because its at the North end of the strip its always cheaper than the "hot" properties less than 1 mile away.
