ESPN 3D Bowl Bash Viewing Party
5:30 p.m. January 7; Doors open at 4:30 p.m.
LVH, LVH Theater
By Invitation Only
 
On the Monday night before CES begins, it’s the game of the year and maybe of the decade in College Football, #1 Notre Dame vs. #2 Alabama. And if you haven’t seen sports in 3DTV, you won’t want to miss it, especially on the really big screen at the LVH theatre, close by the LVCC. With 3DTV it’s really “seeing is believing,” even more so than with HDTV ten years ago. Come by and see the big picture, but also the small, as they will be displaying sports in 3D on glasses-free tablets as well. For those of you not from the left coast, don’t forget it’s a 5 p.m. pacific time start in Vegas, so make it a point to adjust your clocks so you don’t miss kickoff!
