Tip of the month
CES runs Jan 6-9 and that week is rated Sold-out. If you still need a band, DJ or emcee for a CES client party, book the act and the room together this month: the 90-day entertainment lead time has already passed, and both have to be free on the same night. Hosting anything Nov 19-21? The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix closes Strip roads around its sessions, so schedule talent load-in and guest arrivals early and pick a venue your guests can reach on foot.
