Title: Las Vegas?
Post by: East_TX_Spa on October 24, 2009, 11:47:49 am

Stephan and I are headed back this year...anyone else going to the pool and spa show?

Business has really been good lately.  Hope to hear some good stories from everyone else, too.

 Sales have been decent here, we actually beat last years numbers estimate.  :)  No Vegas for us this year as far as I know?  One reason, Jacuzzi and Sundance both dropped out this year.    Guess they didn't feel a need to go??  Cant blame them why spend money on a dying trade show.

I'll be there!  Seafood buffet Term? 

I think the only large spa manufacturer with a booth there is going to be Cal Spas.

I think Marquis had a deposit on the booth and was planning on showing, but then they realized that attendance was going to be down and pretty much all of the other premium brands were not going to be there...

Chris - I'm excited to eat some of that king crab!

I'll know in a few hours if I'm going.

BTW, if anyone hasn't made reservations yet (or yours are refundable), you might want to check out lastminute.com
Right now there's some ok rooms for around $30 a night, and some decent one's in the $50 range.

You mention that attendance will be down.  I totally agree with you.  How much you wanna bet that the Pool & Spa News headline afterward will say what a booming success the show was?

I'd bet they call it record attendance.

I think What's the Best should grab one of those booths and put me in it with a laptop and a projector.
