I got two unexpected days off and would be interested in going to the NAB in LV, but it is last minute and I dont know how it works.

How would you go about obtaining a day pass to the exhibits?

<I hate being the newbie>

Go to the Las Vegas Convention Center, locate the registration area ( I think it's in the North Hall this year), present photo ID, fill out a form or two on a PC for an exhibit hall pass. You might need to get a number from a video vendor to put on one of the forms. Most vendors have a way of doing this online, but you might have to talk to a salesperson to get that number.

Wear comfortable shoes, you'll be doing a LOT of walking!

Get going, if you've never been before you'll be amazed!
