Las Vegas – Once again in 2025, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has proven why it is regarded as one of the world’s most influential tech expos. For me, Aaron from BlackOmegaVirus, it was my first time attending as an officially accredited tech-media journalist—a thrilling debut that not only granted me exclusive insights into the latest innovations but also offered a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of this global technology hotspot.
Behind the Scenes: New Contacts and Exclusive Insights
Right from the Media Check-in, it was clear how much the organizers value providing journalists with comprehensive access. The Media Room gave me the opportunity to connect with fellow journalists and work on my reports in a quiet environment. As an officially accredited attendee, however, I was also able to engage directly with industry experts throughout the entire exhibition, gaining valuable and sometimes even unreleased information. These personal conversations often go beyond what’s shared in press releases, offering an authentic peek into tomorrow’s tech trends.
Living up to its reputation as a platform for innovation, CES showcased a broad range of VR and AR technologies, appealing to both industry professionals and fans from the enthusiast community—from gaming applications all the way to advanced industrial uses.

Digital Progress: Gaps in Internet and Cellular Coverage
Despite the dynamic innovation climate in Las Vegas, the local internet and cellular coverage still have considerable room for improvement—especially for data-intensive media attendees. While most hotels offer Wi-Fi in principle, it is often either fee-based, slow, or not stable enough for rapidly uploading large volumes of data. At peak times, even cellular networks can reach their limits.
This situation stands somewhat in contrast to Las Vegas’ reputation as a hotspot for technology and progress. For media professionals looking to provide real-time coverage or upload substantial content, it can be challenging to publish swiftly and reliably. It will be interesting to see whether—and how—Las Vegas will improve its network infrastructure in the coming years, living up to its status as an innovation center.
