I went last year for the first time. I was a very fun show, and I got to meet a lot of the people from the newsgroup.
In addition to Alex's comments:
1) Bring extra cash. I set aside $200 for me to spend at the show, and ended up returning home with a Lynx system with almost every game I'd wanted for it, all new-in-box stock. I also picked up a few PAL items that visitors from Europe had brought over in bulk.
2) Be sure to catch the panels. I saw most of the panels last year, and they were a blast. While I'm sure a lot of the panel content will be repeated this time around, the Q&A parts can be really fun.
3) There are shuttles from downtown to the Strip and back, so staying at the Plaza isn't so bad. Plus, its a quick elevator ride up to drop off your loot.
What should I expect at CGE 2K1??
