The Wired CES team spent the majority of its time in Las Vegas last week held up in a makeshift work bunker outside the second-floor bathrooms of the convention center. The only time they saw daylight or breathed unprocessed air was on their daily walk from their hotel on the strip to the main hall and back.
For visitors and remote observers, CES can be a joyous orgy of gadgets and giant TVs, but for the reporters on the ground it is a grind. Readers following on the blogs don't always get the real flavor of the scene.
To change that, the Wired CES team posted snapshots to Wired's Instagram and Tumblr feed during the convention last week. These are some of Raw File's favorites. Read on for an instagram-filtered look at CES. You can also see all of Wired's CC-licensed CES photos on Flickr.

While everyone else was headed toward the convention center for another day of bad coffee, stale air and long walks down some of the ugliest carpet in the world, Elvis was headed toward the strip and whatever adventure Elvis can find at 10 a.m.
We thought it might be the king as he walked toward us, but it wasn't until he went by and we were able to discern his name on the body of his guitar that we knew for sure. Viva Las Vegas, baby.
