SEMA is an awesome experience... Something every automotive enthusiast should probably attempt to enjoy at least once!
I went back when I had pre-ordered a Camaro when they launched the new 2010's... And there was over a hundred custom Camaro's at SEMA that year... And I ended up getting together with a pretty huge group of Camaro enthusiasts from the big forum from all across North America.
Was pretty great. At the time, that car was my dream car.. So it was cool to see it get that level of treatment. Camaro's aside though, I saw a lot of amazing stuff at SEMA. Brought my lady, and stayed in the Mirage on the strip. Booked everything last minute including the flights.. So I definitely can't give any advice on the best deals..... I didn't go about things in a very practical way. I kind of put the whole plan together on a whim... because of how Camaro crazy I was at the time.. I wasn't working in the industry so I had to get "temporarily" hired so that I could go.. lol
Good times though.
Any reason in particular you can't take pictures? No camera? I have thousands of photo's from when I went. Well.... I had thousands before my hard drive ate it... I have a few hundred remaining though.
Good luck getting around to see the whole event.. There is seriously so much to see.. I was there during every one of the non press days... And I never got to see it all... (The lady has little interest in cars..... so I had to do a little bit of sight-seeing / shopping & making sure she got to have a little fun). But I was there for a good chunk of time every day.
