That's it. We're done. Finito. Another Consumer Electronics Show is officially on the books. Before everyone leaves Las Vegas and inevitably morphs into sleep-deprived mush, we wanted to take one last look back at the convention center chaos. We're going to keep the words to a minimum though and let our best images -- captured by a slew of Engadget editors and photographer Will Lipman -- do the storytelling instead. The highlights, the lowlights and the simply absurd: Scroll down for a taste of them all.
CES felt a tad quieter this year. A sign of the show's slowly diminishing relevancy?
Once again, Google's booth dominated the parking lot opposite the convention center.
Google's elaborate booth had a multicolored slide this year! I hate to think how many nasty germs are in that ball pit though.
Mercedes-Benz brought an Avatar-inspired concept car to CES. (When are those sequels coming out again?) We can't stop looking at the scales -- sorry, "bionic flaps" -- on the back.
Groove X returned to CES with a finished version of its adorable Lovot. This one is wearing a plaid shirt, presumably to blend in with the thousands of poorly dressed reporters at the show.
Langualess came to CES with Inupathy, a heart rate monitor that can apparently interpret how your dog is feeling.
What does this personal air filter remind you of? Hannibal Lecter, maybe, or the face mask that Tom Hardy has to wear at the start of Mad Max: Fury Road?
Sony also had the Ectomobile/Ecto-1 at its CES booth. (Possibly to promote Ghostbusters: Afterlife?) No word on whether it'll be selling this car either.
Sony dedicated a good chunk of its CES press conference to PlayStation. The back-patting culminated in a PS5 logo reveal, which was, well -- not exactly shocking.
It's a Onewheel and Yeti cooler combined! Why? No idea. But it's a nice way of delivering cold beers to your mates.
How do you show off underwater gadgets at CES? With an enormous tank of course. (I hope that diver is allowed a few breaks.)
Damon is building an electric motorcycle with BlackBerry (the real BlackBerry that still makes enterprise software). I hope this rider is playing Road Rash inside that VR helmet.
Charmin tried to steal the show with a robot that delivers toilet paper. Make no mistake though: This was a PR stunt and will never actually be released.
Engadget was in charge of the official Best of CES awards again this year. The trophies double as giant Jenga blocks.
Here's the full Engadget squad.
The sun sets on another tiring but impressive show. Until next year, folks!

Blizzard co-founder and ex-CEO Mike Morhaime’s new company just announced Sunderfolk, a unique take on tabletop RPGs. The console and PC title can be played on a phone, like Jackbox titles.
Dead Island 2 and Gris join the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for October. Other titles include ‘Return to Monkey Island’ and ‘The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me.’ It's a big month.
Sports Interactive and Sega have delayed Football Manager 25 from November until March. "Many things have been moving slower than we had predicted," the studio said.
ByteDance is moving into audio gear with its first earbuds. Ola Friend will only be available in China for now and the earbuds connect to the company's generative AI assistant, Doubao.
Apple's 9th-gen iPad has dropped back down to a record low price. If you're looking for the cheapest possible iPad that can handle basic tasks, this is perhaps the way to go.
Uber is adding new self-identification options for disabilities this fall. It's also testing a new option that will let riders disclose if they're traveling with a service animal.
