The total numbers of this years event were very close to last years numbers. Every year we hear how everything is shrinking - but it is not true. Exhibitors come and go. We had several new one and a few old ones were not here. A couple have retired and other had 'situations' - to imply they 'skipped' this event is untrue and misleading.
I talk to the exhibitors every year. It was about the same as last year. I realize I have access to the real numbers. Hopefully this will help correct the errors in your info.

PS On a side note. The Rio is an excellent venue for our event. The room prices are better than anywhere else, there is no resort fee etc. All casinos have high prices, but the Rio is better than others. And there is no resort fee.
