The dates of Fall '93 COMDEX in Las Vegas should be Nov. 15 -19 (M - F).
                                                         ^^^^^^
Where to stay!  Depends on what you can afford. The main exhibition halls are
the LV Convention Center (LVCC), Sands Convention Center, and the Hilton with
exhibitions also at Bally's, Riviera, Tropicana... 

The cheapest place to stay is with a friend or relative.  Otherwise, out on or
near the Strip puts you where it's happening.  Obviously, the major hotels are
the most expensive, but there are a number of smaller places which are cheaper.
But remember... during COMDEX ALL places will be booked up and do tend to raise
their rates for that week.

Based upon 1991 & 1992:
Tickets for admission to the exhibitions cost $75, but all exhibitors get a
number of them to distribute as complimentary passes... so they aren't all that
difficult to come by.

Extra-curricular activities!(??)  You got to be kidding! 

       This is Las Vegas!!!!  Whatever your interest, you can surely find...
       somewhere... if not everywhere.

       Oh, if you really want to stick with computer stuff, there are
       always a number of private parties sponsored by various vendors
       each evening... make friends with some an see if you can get an
       invitation.

Misc. hints:   Wear COMFORTABLE shoes!

               And, if you are one (like me) who can't resist picking up
               brochures, trinkets, and the occasional complementary
               packages or demos... plan to either lug back a lot more
               then you brought... or if flying and smart, plan to ship
               your booty home... take a roll of tape, labels, scissors,
               and get boxes from whoever you use to ship... UPS, FedEx,

By the way, the dates I have beyond next year for Fall COMDEX are:
   1994  Nov. 14 - 18
   1995  Nov. 13 - 17
