The hope was that the show would not compete with the normally crowded Las Vegas weekends, and offer showgoers more flexibility in finding hotel rooms and taxi cabs.

So you pop in a demo DVD, fire up the audio system, adjust the lighting, sit back in your favorite chair, and press play. But something isn't right. Everyone looks a little sunburned.
