Classic Gaming Expo - Las Vegas, NV - Aug 11-12, 2012

Post by JEKKI »

hola. did a quick forum search to see if any1 already posted this, results came up nada.

also I'm new so I hope this is the correct place to post!!

amywayz check it out~!!!

http://cgexpo.com/

is anybody planning on going?

early bird registration is up until the end of May,

$25 now, but will jump to $35 at the door.

Likewise hotel will set you back a very cheap $65/nite (friday and saturday rate)

The hotel is rather far from the strip though, but not too far that a cab or a shuttle won't take care of you.

That said I am actually interested in room sharing (or even carpooling if any1 is in SoCal) so if anybody plans on going let's see if we can split the cost of the room!

Dredging this one up as CGE is in a few weeks... Anyone going?

If you come out for the expo, be sure to also check out Insert Coins (walking distance on Fremont St, across Las Vegas Blvd) and the Pinball Hall of Fame (cab ride).

Just a heads up, Disney will be showing off Wreck-It Ralph at CGE, with both a booth and the arcade cabinet set up.

I'd love to make it, but Vegas is hard for me to fly into. Get some pic's and vid so you can share with the rest of the RBers.

(I'm not saying to get vid of Wreck-It Ralph!)

My fiance and I will be there! We were at CGE 2k10 as well. Until then the last time I had gone was the very first year when it was World of Atari '98.

We went to the Pinball Hall of Fame for my friend's bachelor party a year and a half ago, it's awesome and highly recommended. I'm looking forward to checking out Insert Coin this time around.

$35 for two days and you can buy admission at the door, it's a great deal. The Plaza has some really good rates too, I'm excited to see what it has to offer!

I really wanted to go but already spent on PAX Prime maybe next year. It gives me a good excuse to visit Las Vegas. :lol:
