Might be able to do this, so long as the lag isn't too bad when jumping into Vegas...lights usually drag the CPU.
EVE and Loathing in Las Vegas!! SCHIZBAM!

Bahahahahah. This cannot be stressed enough.
These people hand these cards out like pokemon cards or something.
LOL they practically won't let you walk away without taking one. The one time I was there, if you try to ignore them and keep walking, they'll walk with you holding the card out and flipping it and shaking it. I wanted to punch them, and I'm not even offended by such things.
Just do as I did last weekend...I told them I met my girlfriend from one of those cards and pointed over to her. She got a kick out of it in a strange way, and the people handing out the cards just kinda looked in amazement...or confusion...depending on if they understood English or not.

It's going to be awesome
I'll be flying from Iceland to attend, and I'll be surprised if GH-SC doesn't have at least 10 people there.

For those not Vegas regulars who aren't flush with cash I'd recommend the Excalibur as an "affordable" strip hotel. I just booked there around $120 a night for this event. The other strip hotels are considerably more. You can probably get a less expensive room downtown as well but you'll have to drive.
Off strip there are the Palace Station hotels that are cheaper and a few others. Be careful searching online there are all kinds of travel agencies trying for your business. I find booking through the hotels website directly the best deal for me.
Vegas has a very good bus system especially on the strip. The run every 10 minutes and are $2 per ride (for the express). I used to go up there once a month and took buses around not bad at all. There is also a new MONORAIL system thats affordable and convienent. It connects to several hotels.
For a great breakfast I'll recommend Paris Las Vegas they have a great breakfast buffet with fresh crepes thats around $12 I think (been a year since I've been there). I also like the Luxor buffet for breakfast.
There are alot of neat things to see on the strip that are free. The fountains at Bellagio are very entertaining and go off once an hour. Down the strip is Treasure Island. They used to have a pirate show out front (with real sinking sailing ships) but they changed it into a dicier "adult" type show which is pretty good too. Like they say.... it is SIN CITY afterall and the motto of Vegas is "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas".
If you're like me and enjoy Star Trek you have to visit the STAR TREK EXPERIENCE as well. They have a neat museum, some 3D type rides and other neat stuff. Its pricey though but fun. The Las Vegas Hilton does offer packages with room, meals and the Star Trek stuff you might check into on their website (Nemesis package I believe its called).
Thats my review and recommendation for affordable lodging, entertainment and food.

I think the museum of atomic testing is open as well, since the bombs went off about 50 miles away, always nice to see what the nukes did...
As to those advertisments, they are over priced by 3x and the girls are not as advertised, so if your inclined for that, visit one of the legal brothels 30 miles or so away..
Vegas has everything... art exhibits, strippers, beer, all good!
Cya all there..

Well actually its in march so the heat wont be that bad IT doesnt start getting real hot here till late june early july Been here 5 years so trust the jader
Originally by: Gretchen Dawntreader Edited by: Gretchen Dawntreader on 14/12/2005 17:44:11
7. Take a day trip to visit nearby Hoover Dam. Take the dam tour. See the dam film. Get a dam souvenir. Drive your friends nuts with jokes involving the word "dam."
While you are going to the Dam Visit Beautiful Boulder City and see the oasis in the desert :) Also its the home of the jaderpop. Plus a huge tourist town lots of fun stores and resteraunts.
Edit: ALso forgot to say Im so there

Is it just me, or did the original post say that they would update by Christmas day? The information to register for this event would be useful so that I can book a hotel room or something ahead of time and get plane tickets now. Or did it get cancelled? So what's going on?
Thanks, WR3N

Archie
we are slated at this time to handle 500
if we see a drastic increase beyond that we WILL move to redo this event fast and get the facilities to hold that many people...
we would love to see more then 500 - due to high cost of production we take it one step at a time...
so we dare you to make us hire more staff and work twice as hard because more then 1000 showed up...
we are ready to deal with this...we just did not want to sign contracts with venues and such to a larger affect then 500 as if we do NOT make the mark we EAT alot of MONEY...
If the fans show in force...and pay ahead for over 500 we will do our best to accomodate EVERYONE PERIOD.
WE DO NOT WISH TO TURN ANYONE DOWN AND WILL MAKE EVERY LAST CONCESSION AND EFFORT TO HAVE EVERYONE MAKE THIS EVENT!

What is the $130 for.? a buffet.? why no PvP tourney.? dont get me wrong, i will be there but prolly not inside the event unless i see something in it worth the $130 to attend.. i think that $130 will be better spent at the bar drinking and having fun with the attendees after the event is over in my own personal opinion. |

The cost covers our expense to throw this event...conference room, two meals, prizes, rental of the conference room and rainbow, for the after hours party which are both CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC events until 10pm....
WE ARE NOT MAKING MUCH IF ANY PROFIT OFF THIS, IF WE WANTED PROFIT WE WOULD HAVE SOLD THIS TICKET @ 600 bills with flights and rooms and all the cost included and maximized price points and you would have payed for IT ALL and then some....
you try feeding 300 - 500 people "lunch and diner" and all thats associated with this ....not to mention the prizes are not free...we had to pay for them ALL, even the eve accounts and such...
putting 300-500 people into one room to sit down and talk about anything is 7500 square feet. ..... rent or obtaining that for free is not going to happen in las vegas...in both the conference and afterhours party facilities
sure we could just have a meet and greet at the hardrock...and let everyone just show up...in the noisy over hyped hardrock and pray we all find each other and you can figure out whos who...
but then there would be no close eve interest beyond drinking, or no food or meals, but you will pay 20 bux a pop for dinner and also the same for lunch if you were here....(if you think you eat on comps, your gonna spend 500 in gambling to get a free buffet. Many have tried that "i will play penny slots and get free booze trick, this is a myth in vegas, drink girls and meals are not free to penny and nickle slot gamblers, trust me, if you dont go ahead a tip the drink girl a few nickles and she if she keeps coming by to bring you free liquor or food)
no prizes, no ladies of eve in costume, and most of all I surely doubt the devs would really come if they were just told...."hey will you come to vegas and drink with us at the bar?"....but then you never know...
I do agree however that this is not for some....I even have close friends that play eve across the country that tell me they wont come cause they just dont see spending that kind of money to do such things as they have children and real life to spend cash on.
This event is for those whom want a little more then playing the game out of eve...the ones who see the game for more then just 15 bux a month and get out of my way.
once more...you wont be able to attend even the afterhours party unless you have a ticket....
this makes it worth the ticket...I for one would not buy a ticket to something I could goto for free either....
but then maybe your the kinda guy whom stands out side the concert and listens to the band from afar while everyone else that paid for a ticket is inside partying up close and personnel and respecting the event for what it is....and getting INTO THE BAND/EvE....i respect this seriously as everything has value, including how into eve you are.
In a nut shell although I respect your sentiments and agree its not for many (60k are not coming.. lol), we are not going to just throw away thousands of dollars to throw a party in las vegas either. What we have here cost money to pull off, regardless if some one thinks its not worth it.
I hope this helps clear up value on our part...check it...if its not a value to you we are not twisting arms to attend:):)
We just hope everyone has a good time in a semi to formal environment and come thogether to celebrate eve beyond gate ganking....
Regards, Blackhole BoB www.evegathering.com <--- this was not free either

Originally by: Wuagwan Hi all, I am for sure gonna be there

Thnx, Wuagwan Cold Fusion INC.
the base hotel is "hardrock cafe" or anything within a few blocks which is a long distinguished list...when you are considering chooseing your rooms. Remember we are NOT providing travel or rooms as so many want varied interest...some want ceasars palace and the expensive works while others want motel 6 and are car pooling to this event...logistics on rooms for vegas as well as travel would not be wise nor adventageous to YOU if we forced you into ONE package deal....this is las vegas....the cheapest to get to city, in the USA.
in about one week will will have online tickets sales and several choices of locations CLOSE TO THIS EVENT to choose from, when considering rooms, to ease travel and acommodation logistics for everyone.
We will also give everyone the adress to the comference room which will be as close to the hardrock and rainbow as possible (rainbow bar & grill is NEXT door to the hard rock hotel)
we are doing our very best to keep the event within very close proximity to all afcilites and THE STRIP
We have been and are very concerned with everyone geeting around well and haveing no nightmares finding the conference and afterhours party..
if all is well you should be able to easily access the new mono-rail going up and down the strip so to speak and all that good stuff....
VEGAS IS BIG and even the new WYnn Casino is something to see in itself...(amazing)
hope this answers your questions
