Yes yes yes. I've heard all these points before. I'm not necessarily
advocating for moving the show. I was specifically addressing Pete's point
regarding the consumer day. Don't be surprised when you have a cycling show in
the middle of the desert and the consumer day is a bust.
I would contend that the whole space issue is overblown though. Again, I'll
cite Atlanta since it's my home. We have the world's largest airport, multiple
convention centers in downtown alone, and shit tons of hotel rooms. In
addition, there are rad places to ride nearby. We don't have gambling, but
there are plenty of other things to keep you busy.
I go to plenty of other trade shows for work and they certainly aren't all in
Vegas. Like I said to Pete below, it all depends on what the goal is. That's
something the entire industry needs to ask itself.
