Discover the behind-the-scenes of the NECA show commute as Trevor Ottmann documents his walk from the Luxor Hotel to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, offering a quick-paced glimpse into the daily routine of an electrician attending the event.

Talk about a commute! This year, the team stayed at the Luxor Hotel, which connects to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, where the NECA show was held. Despite them being connected, it was quite a long walk. Trevor Ottmann, the Everyday Electrician, took a point-of-view video of his daily NECA commute. Fun fact: This video had to be sped up to 7.5x speed!
