Received my 2010 CES Badge in the mail yesterday. In addition to the badge, Smart ExpoCard (for swiping at events & booths) and CES UNVEILED coupon; there's also the usual coupons for a free press bag (usually sponsored by Toshiba) and free lunch in the press rooms for Thursday through Sunday.
Press bags vary in style. Most press prefer the rolling kind that you can also use as carry-on luggage. Makes it a lot easier to schlep stuff around from event to event and booth to booth. Even so, I find that having a hotel nearby makes it easy to unload a full bag in the middle of the day before heading back for an eventual re-fill.
Lunch coupons are nice. CES has moved away from buffet hot lunches to providing box lunches with a variety of sandwiches. Best to be there at 11:30 when they're first distributed or you might miss out...
Rooms are still available at Casino Royale and the Imperial Palace for budget-minded attendees like myself.
