We are currently in the final planning stages for what we are calling Eve Vegas 2.0. Eve vegas was last held in 2009 and for those that went was a great time. The original event organizer got to busy to keep it going and is handing over the event so we can keep it going.
We are planning a number of suprises and are currently working with CCP to arrange for speakers, the sale of eve merchandise and more. Based on the turn out for the original eve vegas we are hoping to have a turn out of around 200 players looking for a good time and great information about the game and each other.
We are looking to hold the event in Las Vegas, Nevada again (hence eve vegas) during either the weekend of July 29-31 or the weekdays of Aug 1-2 to hold the event. With the idea the largest amount of North American players will have vacation time available during this time.
If you are interested please reply to this thread with which of the two dates you prefer with the idea that weekends are more expensive in las vegas and weekdays are typically half the cost.
More details like agendas, speakers and location will be coming as soon as we lock down the date.

The last EVE Vegas was a blast. Good luck with the organizing, Zapa, and I have added blue bars and a sticky to draw attention to this.

Cheaper is better. Besides, it's not like any of us have jobs or anything. My vote's for the weekdays.

Thanks navigator, I think with the new venue and some great local resources we can make this even better.

Looks like on our forums the vote is coming down 60/40 in favor of weekdays to keep room costs lower

Sorry for the delay in the reply, been busy talking to venues.
Right now the leading property is the cosmopolitan. http://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/ and the dates are July 29-30. I'm still talking to one more property but the cosmopolitan has agreed to initial terms and is willing to bring down their weekend room sprices from $210 to $149 for us.
I'm looking at a friday night player reception to meet new people and your alliance/corp mates and a saturday filled with great presenations from devs and players alike.
Stay tuned!

Zapa, thanks for putting this together, I will try to be there. Not trying to interfere with your organizing, but have you tried http://www.tuscanylv.com/ I stay there quit a lot, it is off the strip behind Bally's, it has large suites, restuarants, pool etc. It is also $30 per night Sun-Thur and I think $80 per on Fri-Sat.

Hi Misha, I would understand if some players wanted to stay there to take advantage of the lower rate but for the venue itself its hard to beat the newest and one of the nicest properties on the strip! I think especially for those who have never been to vegas before and are only doing so with the prospect of being surrounded by other internet spacefriends that having the event off the strip wouldn't get them the full experience.

The timing is great for me. I'll be moving from Indiana to Phoenix, Arizona at the beginning of July. The weekend of July 29th to July 31rst would work great for me.

Sounds cool. Weekdays to lower cost sounds good but either way I would try to make it. Join RvB |

I'm already planning to be in Las Vegas starting 8/1 through 8/7 for some professional conferences, so 7/29-31 would work perfectly.

Will be there regardless of the dates, but my vote is for July, as I'll be headed back East for a trip in August and need as much time as possible to recover funds between trips :-)

I'm updating the OP as well.
We have final a location, Paris Las Vegas has graciously lowered their rates to have all us rush their facilities.
They've agreed to a $99 a night rate which is a substanial discount and some great convention space for us all to drink up friday night and listen to some great dev and player presentations saturday.

Quoting this for extreme emphasis. Paris Las Vegas is right on the strip and smack-dab in the middle, right across from the Bellagio. Excellent location, and VERY excellent rates.

w00t, another eve las vegas gathering, personally i did not go to the first one because of the whole, goto the meetup then a strip club. im a vegas local i can do that any night, so i was not gonna pay that price for something i can look at for free(my profession) (sorry gridlock) but yea, if you guys make it happen, im totally down. im a kitchen manager at outback steakhouse im sure i can hookup like a dinner or lunch or something anything other than the strip club route, im down. im more than positive it was less participation last time because of that exact reason.
FYI the las vegas locals channel is "las vegas" and im lonely so come pay me a visit. and "gridlock" hasnt been on in awhile
