The beer was a present for engadget.com.

I don't know what the guy in the mask was doing, but nobody seemed to take much notice of him.

Samsung had an incredible booth.  The "chalkboard" shot was a very nice electronic whiteboard.  60 inches at least.  You could draw on it with your finger or a pen.  They showed a lot of the new Galaxy Notes, a 5 inch phone that is a small tablet.  Very nice.

I added a second set of pictures above.

The hotel is the Wynn.  It's amazing.

The pictures in the restaurant are at the Okada.  Self portrait sitting at the bar.  Great Japanese food and atmosphere.

The other guy pictured up close is Steve Silberman, formerly of Ayre, now at Audioquest.

You stayed at the Wynn?  How is Steve Wynn looking these days?

In their marketing, he looks pretty good, but I've never seen him. ( I just looked him up.  He's got a pretty fair resume (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Wynn).)  Friend of yours?

For anyone who hasn't seen the hotel, here's a picture:

There are two nearly identical towers of about 50 floors.  The plan of each is slightly curved.  Here's a picture of the pair:
