Party bus was the best part of the social events for 2013. The reception was quality as well!

Better Venue than the Rio!!!

Alliance mates who stayed in the newer tower had OK rooms, but the old tower was crap. 1st room had mold on the shower tiles and second was a flashback to the 70's. I have stayed in much nicer budget inns for 30 bucks a night. Rio restaurants had pretty bad food for really high prices compared to other hotels. Buffet was more like a Golden Corral or something like that. Locals might know where the better cheaper food is, but us outsiders didn't learn there were options till the end. Maybe the health inspector will shut down the old tower before next year anyway. I brought my wife with me and she wasn't happy at all with the concrete bed and remote location from stuff non-eve players would want to do.

PVP room was great when the machines worked, they seemed to have issues after the first day. Having a few spares to swap in when the PC crashes would be good. Convention space was nice and the presentations were well done.

As mentioned before, having the agenda out with a little more time to plan out a day would be nice.

I thought the access to devs like CCP Fozzie was a great thing. Keep it up with the hanging out in the pvp room and talking to folks! Swag was nice and the SomerBlink sponsorship was good with the free blink credit for trying and winning the pvp matches.

I'd go to Eve Vegas again, but I would stay somewhere other than the Rio.

I along with a couple of others came from the UK, was a blast so you have no excuse ;-)

Rio was pretty darn decent and wouldn't be unhappy if the next one was held there, please confirm the dates as early as possible it does cut down on the cost for people like me.

As an Australian, I'm hoping to come this year (having possible work in the US in Aug/Sept), and I agree, the sooner we know dates the better. What with VISA's and all that crap :P

Looks like great fun though! :) Excited! \o/ Hopefully it works out.

I did not mind the Rio as a venue. PVP room was great. Round tables were great (ones that I went to at least). Party at the top was OK, long line at food not a lot of places to sit. I did not even know there were Gallente girls walking around till I was about to leave, previous year they snapped a pic as you walked in. It is a shame the band was not put on at a better time. I hung around and loved what I heard but it was right before the party and as to not get stuck in a long line people were leaving early, it just did not do them justice. Poker tournament was great for those who would rather not bus around and drink, but a dev or two there would have been awesome.
As far as what I would like to see, propaganda table / recruitment spot, a place to buy EVE merchandise (obligatory ‘for plex’). An interactive show or two rather than just a power point stack, Eve themed price is right, deal or no deal, ‘karaoke for isk’, PvP with interruptions, dress a dev, or vote for best dev. I would get a tattoo if it was there.

A couple of points to address:

1. Forgot about the 'OLD' tower rooms being crap, and players told me that too when I worked there, lol.

2. As for the tattoos and such, I know there is a well known tattoo artist in the Palms across the street. I think there is also a well known artist in the Hard Rock. (either venue would be awesome, but perhaps not geared to the older attendees)

3. For the event organizer, it is easier to negotiate with event venues/hotels when the group is larger (and/or guaranteed attendance volume), the hotel sees $$$ signs with more bodies wandering through the casino, bars, and restaurants. As this event matures, the locations will improve and more perks given to the group.*

Good feedback! We're almost done signing an event and then you'll get the dates and location right away so you can start planning.

Details will follow later :)

So as we start planning for EVE Vegas 2014 after last year's successful ramp-up, we'd love to hear what direction we should take with the next one which will most likely take place sometime in Oct/Nov.

We have our own ideas and we've learned a lot from past EVE Vegases (that's a word right?), but we'd like to hear what you think, whether you're an EVE Vegas veteran, a one hit wonder planning a comeback, or someone who's merely interested and have yet to take the leap.

Do you want more presentations? Less presentations? Different topics? Did you like the activities? Any other activities we should definitely add? What's the best venue? Did you like the PVP room? Were the catering options ok or do you want us to do something differently there? etc etc.

Let's talk Vegas, baby!!



I'm one of many players that actually lives here, and I am definitely going in 2014.
If the organizers want to let me in on sharing ideas and such, I'd be happy to meet with them at one of our many fine watering holes in this town. As long as it's not on a night when I'm doing my other-than-EVE social life....

I also want to state while I love that CCP is getting more involved in this. I love that it's a player run event SUPPORTED by CCP and not the other way around. :)

Ha..... here's my chance to be seen by the playerbase actually kicking back on a nearby couch, drinking my rum and coke.
Everything really is working just fine for me :)

Remember to make sure the bar is stocked with plenty of Sailor Jerry....

It would be too easy to make myself an IRL replica of a green Sterling..... I just might.
