Here are some of the sights from the laundry industry's recent four-day run in Las Vegas:

Setting up for the big show.

Official attendance at the four-day event was 11,200.

The convention center was filled with the latest and greatest the industry has to offer.

The CLA booth was a hub of activity for all four days of the show.

The CLA's affiliate leaders huddled to discuss proposals for their respective groups.

As always, the show's educational sessions were a hit with attendees.

No telling who – or what – one might encounter on the show floor.

One exhibiting company had a sand sculptor in its booth.

"Dean" and "Marilyn" wowed the crowd at the CLA's Celebration Dinner.

After a full day on the trade show floor, the CLA's hospitality receptions were a welcome break.

Laundry owners Deward Stout and Dave Levenson compare notes.
