We liked Komol, a family-run Thai\u00a0 restaurant in a strip mall. 953 E Sahara Ave. Ste E-10. Phone 702-731-6542.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Las Vegas Hotels.<\/strong> Some are awful. Some are great. There&#8217;s no relationship between price and quality. Most pricey hotels will bargain. They also have widely varying prices. Everyone bargains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><strong>Las Vegas Shows.<\/strong> Buy your tickets from the show\/hotel <strong>directly<\/strong>. Do not buy from a broker or a ticket agent on the Internet. They&#8217;ll charge you fees, fees and more fees. Cirque de Soleil shows are fun, though pricey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">My CES favorite product revisited. <span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is Wrapsol on a iPhone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/wrapsol.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5375\" title=\"wrapsol\" src=\"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/wrapsol.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"253\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I asked Wrapsol yesterday for technical details:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">Our film is made from polyurethane. ours is 12-mil, competitors&#8217; are 6-mils and under if urethane, and as little as 2-mil if polyester. We are able to make our film much thicker due to our proprietary adhesive, which increases the material&#8217;s playability and thus ability to wrap around curved surfaces. We also have proprietary technologies for releasing air bubbles, which allows users of all skill levels to achieve great results. and since our films are applied using absolutely no liquids, consumers will never be denied warranty claims by Apple (or any other device manufacturer) due to moisture damage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">Here are a couple of good videos demonstrating the strength of our films: Click <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/wrapsol#p\/u\/18\/wD_dXTzEAmA\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/strong> and<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/wrapsol#p\/u\/5\/63_UvQBMKG4\" target=\"_blank\"> here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As I said yesterday, you must put Wrapsol on your cell phone.
