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.

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.

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

There is no age limit for the convention portion. However at the reception the open bar will check your age, but non alcoholic drinks would also be free.

I'm flying in Friday night at 7:45pm. Booked my hotel at Paris for Friday and Saturday night. Bushdog from AIL is also coming out.
I'm leaving Sunday afternoon to get back to Dallas. Hoping to meet you guys out there. This should be a good time.
I will be the guy wearing the "Just Say No to Goons" T-Shirt but.. that doesn't mean I don't want to meet my fellow American players.. even if they are susceptible to Goon propaganda.
This is going to be just like HangOver except unfortunately, we might remember everything =).

I've just bought two tickets, reserving room and flight now!
The 4:00 PM check in time is just TERRIBLE and unheard of in my years in a traveling job with 1000+ hotel stays. Have to get there Friday night and they wont extend the room rate for Friday night.
So, I must do one of the following; -Stay somewhere else one night -Pay $177+taxes for one night additional at Paris, -Stay up all night and carry my luggage around; I can get by with a backpack but not the girl coming with me. -Fly in on earliest Saturday morning flight and miss the 1:00PM start time, will still be in the airport...and carry around our stuff until 4:00.
I know the airport has lockers but I've only seen them on the departure side of the LV airport.
Maybe Paris set the late time for a buffer zone, but if they dont have early check-in I'm making them put my bags behind their counter.
I think a weekday event would make it a "NO WAY" for me. Heck I'm Union with 10 years seniority and I still only get 12 days vacation, so thanks SO MUCH for making it a weekend event.
Air Tran has flights from Milwaukee for $177 non-stop both friday and saturday 29/30 of July. I didnt really check anywhere else.

Former Vegas local - moved away a couple years ago but go back several times a year to visit friends and family.
I think this should be an annual thing!!! *subliminal hint* July is a great time of year to do a convention in Vegas - because it will be hot the rates will be lower *usually*. $100 a night for the Paris is a GREAT rate!
Some tips I'd like to pass on as a former Vegas local and someone who worked in Event Planning for years.
There should be a locals rate - there is clearly a large number of people attending who are stating they are local. Why not knock off $25 bucks for them. OR You may need convention staff there on the scene - recruit from the locals and tell them they donate x hours manning check in tables etc you will discount their rate. You can also, give a "staff" rate for those willing to donate their time but aren't local.
You may want to have the locals or one local plan a bar crawl. There is a different scene for locals than there is for the tourists. If you get off the strip drinks get cheaper *wink*.
Someone mentioned carrying their bags around ? You don't need to do that. Go to the hotel, tell them you are with the convention and check your bags in with the concierge. They will give you a ticket and hold them until you are in your room and call for them. You should tip $1-2 per bag they are holding when they deliver your stuff.

jc,
Just check your bags at paris and stay up all night. All vegas strip hotels will allow you to check bags even if you aren't checking in until the next day. You can do the same thing when checking out if checkout is noon and your flight isn't until 8 or 9.

Originally by: Walbro Im a local guy as well what do i need to do to purchase the ticket... should i just get one reserve and pay at the door.
Hi Walbro, to buy a ticket at the discounted price go to www.evevegas2.com and click on buy ticket.
If you bought a ticket at the door, if there are any left by then, it will cost $150 instead of $100.

Originally by: Jayyne Cobb I've just bought two tickets, reserving room and flight now!
The 4:00 PM check in time is just TERRIBLE and unheard of in my years in a traveling job with 1000+ hotel stays. Have to get there Friday night and they wont extend the room rate for Friday night.
So, I must do one of the following; -Stay somewhere else one night -Pay $177+taxes for one night additional at Paris, -Stay up all night and carry my luggage around; I can get by with a backpack but not the girl coming with me. -Fly in on earliest Saturday morning flight and miss the 1:00PM start time, will still be in the airport...and carry around our stuff until 4:00.
I know the airport has lockers but I've only seen them on the departure side of the LV airport.
Maybe Paris set the late time for a buffer zone, but if they dont have early check-in I'm making them put my bags behind their counter.
I think a weekday event would make it a "NO WAY" for me. Heck I'm Union with 10 years seniority and I still only get 12 days vacation, so thanks SO MUCH for making it a weekend event.
Air Tran has flights from Milwaukee for $177 non-stop both friday and saturday 29/30 of July. I didnt really check anywhere else.
Hi Jayne, I'm going to contact Paris to see what I can do for people in your situation for the room rate. From a luggage perspective just check in your luggage with the bell hop they will take care of it and you can call for it when you reach your room or pick it up yourself when you want to check in.
Paris does offer early check in, but it depends on rooms being ready at the time. They guarantee room availability by 4pm.

Originally by: Athena Olympia Former Vegas local - moved away a couple years ago but go back several times a year to visit friends and family.
I think this should be an annual thing!!! *subliminal hint* July is a great time of year to do a convention in Vegas - because it will be hot the rates will be lower *usually*. $100 a night for the Paris is a GREAT rate!
Some tips I'd like to pass on as a former Vegas local and someone who worked in Event Planning for years.
There should be a locals rate - there is clearly a large number of people attending who are stating they are local. Why not knock off $25 bucks for them. OR You may need convention staff there on the scene - recruit from the locals and tell them they donate x hours manning check in tables etc you will discount their rate. You can also, give a "staff" rate for those willing to donate their time but aren't local.
You may want to have the locals or one local plan a bar crawl. There is a different scene for locals than there is for the tourists. If you get off the strip drinks get cheaper *wink*.
Someone mentioned carrying their bags around ? You don't need to do that. Go to the hotel, tell them you are with the convention and check your bags in with the concierge. They will give you a ticket and hold them until you are in your room and call for them. You should tip $1-2 per bag they are holding when they deliver your stuff.
My last suggestion is that if this should turn into an annual event I'd be willing to volunteer my time to help on a planning committee to make it happen.
Thank you Zapa for putting this together - it takes a lot of work !!!

I just bought a ticket, but want to know if I can buy one for a friend who is not an Eve player, or can I get her in as one of my Alts? Or is this basically a guys only gig? Makes no dif, just want to plan.
Also, do you plan to publish an Event Schedule, so we can know what's happening when, so we can plan or book other fun stuff around the Eve event?
Final question, if this is a Goonswarm organized event, do you supply tin-foil hats or do we have to bring our own?
This is a great event idea for summer!

"I just bought a ticket, but want to know if I can buy one for a friend who is not an Eve player, or can I get her in as one of my Alts? Or is this basically a guys only gig? Makes no dif, just want to plan." You can buy her a ticket to the event, or one of our new "Reception Only" tickets that we just added today for those people who are bringing non eve friends/gfs/wives only interested in the party and not the event.
"Also, do you plan to publish an Event Schedule, so we can know what's happening when, so we can plan or book other fun stuff around the Eve event?" There is a agenda up now at: http://www.evevegas2.com/index.php/agenda/ We are waiting for the final speakers to send in their bios so we can put up a speaker page as well.
"Final question, if this is a Goonswarm organized event, do you supply tin-foil hats or do we have to bring our own?" No this is not a goonswarm event, just happens that I'm a goon.

First, hats off to Zapawork and friends for putting this all together. This really rawks.
Finally, no offense intended in my earlier post to Goonswarm with my tin-hat comment. My Main character is older and former ASCN, booted from our beloved home by BoB. So no problems here with the Goonies. And yeah, I'm leaving my Main at home because he drinks way too much and spends all his extra cash on wayward women.
But I'm still bringing my own tin-foil hat!

I'm going with at least one other from Minmatar Militia and there is corps chat about others. Looks like fun - and kudos to Zapawork and fellow organizers.
I trust there is a total truce during the event so I am not obligated to shoot Amarr scum on sight (or liberate their Minmatar slave women.) Also, I have two sons who play and a nephew who's a game developer, so kindly hold off on the snickering if you see a grandfather-aged player hobbling around, propped up by nurses in kinky outfits.
Looking forward to it.

I think they will be fine, the crowd should be drunk enough to miss when throwing.
In all seriousness though, CCP is trying to make sure that their speeches are now modified to address the players fears about MT. Hopefully at EveVegas they will explain the position that they are coming out with and I assume are currently explaining to the CSM.

Hey Jat,
Just go, my friend. Senior players plus CCP in a small venue in Las Vegas. And the weather is clear blue skies with 100F sunshine - plus cocktails with very small umbrellas and babes in skimpier outfits than those umbrellas. What's to think about!
I'll buy you a big fat drink to wet your whistle at the reception. Yeah, meeting serious players at gigs like this can be fun.

A couple of us from PL took 4 days off for this and are local to vegas. So we decided to have a Thursday night (28 july) off the strip pre-pre-party. Will be very chill at a local bar not too far off the strip so people that show up early from out of town will be able to find it easy.
The "PL BBQ" is open to everyone and anyone 21 and older (because its a bar).
I will update this post and prob link to the pl.com forums with a map and all the other stuff you will need to find the place we end up picking. Depending on how many people we get might get a bunch of food and stuff or whatever sounds fun.

When they magically have rooms available on the 29th if I extend the checkout date to the 1st. Hax.
Must find another room for the 29th, dont want to miss a chance to get into a bar fight with soundwave

Return flights cost twice as much!
Also that ****ing evil hotel. I was thinking of booking 2 different rooms for MAXIMUM SAVINGS(one for the 29th, the other for the 30th-1st) but the website is all like "We're sorry, unfortunately we don't have rooms available on 07/29/2011." When they magically have rooms available on the 29th if I extend the checkout date to the 1st. Hax.
Must find another room for the 29th, dont want to miss a chance to get into a bar fight with soundwave 
Just call the Paris and ask them to modify your evevegas reservation to include the 29th at the convention rate. If they have the rooms they will do it.

Black Hat con starts right after EVE Vegas 2.0, and DEFCON 19 is the weekend after! I'm staying until August 8th!
Because of stupid predictable drama, it looks like I'll be going alone to EVE Vegas (got in a fight over LONG TIME GF not wanting to take different flights because I told her since my last post to BUY TICKETS or CALL ME or I'M BUYING MY OWN, so she waited since MAY 30th...I got my tickets and now I'm an a-hole; I guess I'm single now) offered to sister who played EVE but she's busy, so what happens to my extra ticket? Can I sell it, give it away? Do I get two t-shirts instead?
Anyone wanna share a room after/during Vegas 2.0? I'm staying until the 8th, dont care where I stay, as long as it's not a crack house or have kids jumping on me.

ok the PL BBQ (pre-pre-party) Thursday 28th July will be at a nice little Bar that overlooks the airport with an outdoor section so you can watch the aircraft. They don't have the biggest beer selection in the city, but a decent sized one. Not too far from the strip or airport and basically in the middle of the town. Easy to get to from all the freeways and 10 minutes away from any strip casino.
Start time: 6pm Thursday July 28th
Location: P T's Gold 1661 East Sunset Road Las Vegas, NV 89119 (702) 616-0723 map link
I will be there with an eve centric shirt on, prob a PL one with a virus logo or something on it. Just look for a small group of nerds with very pale skin. I will have my phone with me and can get email so if you cant find us in the bar send an email to [email protected] .

Likewise looking for pub crawl info. Otherwise I'm likely going to be found wandering around getting **** drunk and gambling all my money away 
On top of being the only member of my corp attending I'm also flying solo, so I'm looking forward to meeting people 
I'm going to assume that after the conference Saturday there will be another pub crawl of sorts? I'm down for anything, might even see what skydiving prices in the area are if anyone is interested for some Sunday activities.
*Edit*
Will there be wifi at the conference? I'm pretty sure Paris charges you for room access but if the event itself has open wifi I'll likely bring my lappy to either stream or just chat with corpies while the event is on going.

Originally by: Krythas Gutted, I'll miss the BBQ and the friday drinks (flights SFO -> vegas were not available as connecting flights apparently :-( ) I'll just have to make up for it Saturday. Lesson learnt, next eve vegas I'll plan to arrive a week early !
Dude, check and see if your flight is refundable. I'll be driving down to Vegas with a friend from Stockton, CA. If you can make it to Stockton by noon on Friday, we'll get you to Vegas in time for drinks! You're more than welcome to ride with us. Contact me in-game by EVE Mail, PM, or Veto's public channel, "VETO" This is actually a standing invite for anyone that I can pick up along the way as well. Three spare seats open!
Also, Zapa - We'd really like some more info on the Pub Crawl, Friday night. Pretty please?

hi, i'm here now, solo too. got in but luggage didn't but they seem to know where it is so i guess it'll just get here later. i'm sure nothing can go wrong. the hotel sure charges a lot for 4 days @ 99, i've gotten a 110 charge when i made the reservations and a 530 charge today. they said they charge 100 extra just in case and return what i don't use...but..then i remembered the charge weeks ago. maybe a drink is a good idea at this pre pre pre thing....
so this is risa? :-)

Can tickets still be purchased at the door? I would prefer to pay cash in person rather than order tickets online. Further, where exactly is 'the door' for this event? I know where the Paris is located, but it's a big casino. [ Casino | Loans ] |

You took off your glasses on the casino floor because you wanted to tee up a fistfight. I don't recall if you handed them to someone or put them in your pocket though. Tried to warn you about casino security and your poor choice of venue for throwing down, but you were on a mission. v0v
It's cool though, no punches thrown, injuries, etc. You were pretty hammered. Hope those casino dudes weren't too hard on you.
Anyway, the craps tables at Paris was where you removed the glasses. Maybe someone gave them to lost and found?
