The ANA Show & Pre-Show ... why so long?

Does it really take that many days for dealers to achieve their buying and selling objectives? It must be a very expensive outing for dealers who are there for the entire period. (And a side trip across the street to Disneyland isn't cheap!)
All glory is fleeting.

This has been discussed for the past couple of years, and it does not seem to sink in that it is too long of a show, but it is one of the "biggies".
If you consider how few dealers now take tables at the pre-show, it obvious that it has "sunk in". Unfortunately, convention center and auction contracts are signed years in advance, so change comes slowly.

the commercial coin shows held the weekend before the
ANA, at other locations nearby.
By having (originally) the PNG/ANA Pre-Show, it successfully
killed the other commercial pre-shows - and as mentioned -
the ANA gets the extra benefits of some dealers coming in early,
filling up hotel rooms, which is important to them - and since
almost every single PNG Dealer at the Pre-Show also stays for
the ANA, it's a another win for the ANA.

The ANA without the PNG is too long.

Well, there are an awful lots of coins to look through.
And if you come in early, you can also view the auction lots in one fell swoop.
