Was almost impossible to secure any flight coming into the valley. Had to pay a whopping 2,800 once for RT between SFO and LGA,routing through ORD and then SEA. All flights were packed square tight. 2000 CES was such a zoo in Vegas, nobody could get in and nobody could get out, a room at Mirage was going for $400 upwards while you could normally get one for 250 during conference time.
