The Night Before CES Party

written by John Chow on January 7, 2009

How one lazy bum made $176,697.50

The 2009 Consumer Electronics Show starts tomorrow and that means tonight is The Night Before CES Party. Stephen Fung and I have been hosting The Night Before CES Party for many years now. It has become known as the party to attend before the big show.

For the 2009 party, we’ll be going to the penthouse at the Palms. This suite, which starts at $5,000 per night, offers more than 3,000 square feet of living space and an amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip. It also features a game room with pool table, living room, dining room, full island gourmet kitchen with fireplace and Five 42″ plasma televisions.

There’s also a spa pool in the balcony but I doubt any guests are going to take a swim unless they get drunk. Hmmm, on second thought, I think a lot of people will be getting wet tonight! Here are some pics of the party suite for your drooling pleasure.

I love modern design. This encompasses it to a "T"

Would love to own something like that one day. Dream big right?!

Definitely the Big Time! Killer view.

That place looks amazing!

Amazing is an understatement, I think, paradise will be the proper word for it. :)

getting wet eh? i see what you've done there

You've officially reached the big time if you're staying in that suite.

John, seeing as how you're at CES, what do you think of the 3D porn. I couldn't make it this year but a couple of my mates are going nuts over the "possibilities"?

If Joel Comm is there, he'll sell his pass for 49$. The pass gets you in the suite for 20 minutes, then he sells it again. But wait, there's more! Joel will personally greet you at the door and shake your hand! Still not convinced? If Joel can sell his pass 100 times that night, he'll donate 25$ to his mother in law's blog!

Wow, amazing swimming pool!

$5,000 a night sure does buy you a very nice luxury. The place looks amazing, the pool is what dreams are made of, and I'm sure it doesn't get too chilly outside with the hot Nevada desert air. Than again it did snow this last year in Vegas.

One day, I'll have a penthouse like that, one day... hehehe :)

Sweet looking pad for the party. Sorry I couldn't make it out sooner. Next year, it's on!

Its amazing ....I need to construct the same suite and will use it for rent out ....

OH dude I swear my new house is gonna be as good as this!

$5000 per night? Even though I have seen very few things as cool as that suite I also think you can rent luxury at too high a price. :)

The party was a huge success. We had a few people ask for you like Karen. Everyone had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, there was no Smirnoff Ice ;)

I'll have pictures and a couple videos tomorrow but so many people wanted to talk to me, I didn't really get a chance to take that many pictures. I'm sure Kwan has a bunch too. We'll have a write up on Futurelooks soon.

I am continents away from Las Vegas.. So you might not see me for years until I make a few million dollars online and settle there :P

the pictures of the suite sure does remind me of something from the movies. but man how it would feel to just sit there and check out that view.

That suite is hot. I love the view & the master bedroom.

wow. i wish i have chance to book that suit even for 1 night.

Hey I thought you weren't going to be in Vegas John!!! Are you there now?

Thinks very great and very comportable.....woww..... too expensive bos

Hey John, I see you're trying out the pop-up thingy?

It's been there for months.

Wow! Talk about wide open spaces! I especially like that spa pool on the private balcony.

What a beautiful suite! I’ve stayed in a few presidential suites over the years, but nothing quite like that

Hi John,

I look forward to go to CES next year. . Wanted to go to Macworld, but now that Steve's no longer doing the Keynotes. . a bit of the shine has gone :). .

by the way, how do YOU get invited to your night before CES party??

Cheers,

I'll bring the webcam to broadcast to the guys who weren't invited....cool John? lol.

Looks nice. Maybe next year I'll get an invite.

can we have a dot com pho in that condo ..would be fun , the attendees would be all time high

I just wanted to celebrate the fact that I am now a TOP COMMENTATOR here. Woo!

And I want to celebrate the fact that I got more comments than you in half the time :P haha..

one day i'll make it to CES! heh, and maybe even AEE too :P
but until then, i guess i'll just have to settle for coverage on G4TV.
awww.

/Scooby goes back to the Mystery Machine

o you havent heard of the IANteractive Party by me yet have you chow? =P

The IANteractive Party is for sure a must attend party. Getting that list is even harder than The Night Before CES Party!

wow that looks amazing

John I thought you said you weren't going to CES? Ah well I'll wait for the after-photos I am sure Stephen will have

That is one amazing looking suite! I am definitely jealous!

where is my invite at? I've been reading this blog since 06, and still no invite?

Palms security? Bah. I want to see you on the door, John. :-)

Jamie

Nice pictures John.

In my opinion, the best one is the spa with the balcony.

Mario

My condo is nicer than that fake POS vegas wannabe dump

My house definitely isn't that nice :-/

Just labour hard and you will be able to make more beautiful than this one. Its a matter of money honey.

This looks like the setting of a movie I saw once. Crazy!

Have fun!

Do you remember which film it was?
