So, any reports from those of you who went?

Attendance?

Products?

Fun?

Rumors?
Award winning Hot Spring dealer for a gazillion years.

Attendance?
"Low" would be an extreme exaggeration..

Products?
The Spa Bimini I mentioned already (though I've known about it for a while). An a very cool combination raising/lowering gazebo with built-in cover.

Fun?
No, I hate Vegas... but I did get to meet and have dinner with some other cover manufacturers (man, that was uncomfortable, till we had a few glasses of wine  ;D )

Rumors?
3 different people told me of spa manufacturer that's gone out of business (see the beating a dead horse section for my post on who)
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

I would echo Docs thoughts on everything, including dinner.... ;)

Very low turn-out from both attendees and vendors...Intresting idea about the Gazebo that raises up and down at the push of a button, retails for around $3800.00.

For pool owners there were a few new and nice products. A remote controlled boat that actually is a pool skimmer, so your kids can play and clean the pool at the same time and also a alarm that sounds should someone fall into the pool.

The last Aqua Show...Wonder how the new one will be.  Sounds like it'll be a better show with both the IPSE and Aqua shows combining.
The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas and my Vanguard!!!

Yes, I think it will be much bigger.
