I'm in the industry. Many of our most important customers have already announced they are not going. The company I work for has pulled out of the show, along with many others.
The company I work for believes the show will be cancelled, so better to cancel flights and hotels now than later.
My bet is that like a lot of shows, they have a ton of money on the line. Their insurance/cancellation policies only kick in if the government steps in a says "you may not do this," so they are waiting for that to happen. Nevada is tourist-driven, so they don't want to do it. We need some leadership from the Executive Branch.
