Is there an update on events / activities ? (Besides the months old information on the webpage)


Times / Dates /Locations?

A rough itinerary would be helpful, I am needing to coordinate with other things during the event weekend.

(Family insists that they come along with me to Las Vegas, go figure?)



According to the o7 show, an update should be out in a week or two

Any chance for the number of discounted hotel tickets to increase?

PS thx for the vegas.com link....

We're up to 412 tickets sold! Look forward to seeing all of you beautiful people in Vegas.



I was wondering why so few rooms were available for the group rate they have been out of the discounted rooms since before September 14th and no one has looked into getting us more group rate rooms. Since they sell tickets to the function for 1 plus months past the rooms and not update that rooms are no longer available at group rates before you buy your tickets. and yes I know it states that there may be a limited # of rooms but a update would have been nice.

This is upsetting to me cause I bought my plane ticket, and eve ticket and it told me to use the discounted room code but none were left, so I'm sure about 200 of the 412 people coming may also be out of luck on saving up to 300 dollars for the discount as there has not been any available for a long time and no one from CCP updated that info before people bought there EVE tickets. Shame on you CCP and this is the first event I have gone to after 11 years of playing this game. I would hate to cancel do to lack of money to pay for a room, which also would make me want to never try to go to another function again. I'm not sure if it makes me more angry as CCP seems to screw up not just the game mechanics but also the gatherings as well. Shocked

Maybe you should look into this and get us some more group rate rooms if you want more people to show up.

PS I guess the only positive is we will have more gas to throw on the fire tonight when I guest host on Podside podcast. Twisted



Planet Holywood is a large resort. Typically what happens is a group that is using the hotel for a conference will discuss terms to save some rooms at a discounted rate. The hotel sets the number of rooms available based on what else is going on. So for example, eve vegas teams goes tot he hotel and says they are expecting 500 people to show up and wonder if they can get 500 rooms. The hotel will look at that, base it on what else is going on in vegas (which is a big town with A LOT of stuff going on, esp on weekends) and come back with an offer of rooms/a rate. The discounted rate is always limited availability. So if you take too long to get your ticket, then you are SOL.

In addition, the hotel might do a special on its own for less then the group rate, as they don't honestly care as long as the rooms get filled.

Also Vegas is a big damn place. If Planet Hollywood's group rate is gone, you and you want a cheap room, you can stay at circus circus for like $40 a night if you find a good discount and its like 3 vegas blocks from PH.

Its not the eve vegas' teams fault they have a limited number of rooms. Its the hotels fault, as that was all they released. You can find plently of cheap hotels in vegas, you just might have to drive a little to get to PH.

In addition, the weekend following eve vegas, vegas is having the life is beautiful festival. So it will be packed eve vegas weekend as well, as people come in to start getting that ready. Keep all this in mind before you go pointing fingers at the eve vegas team and ccp. And one last point, the group rate is negotiated by volunteers not ccp, as this was setup as a player run event with ccp backing. If you think you can do better, then I would say be my guest to try.

Edit: There is an old saying: A lack of perperation on yoru part, does not constitute and emergency on mine. i.e. I you tok too damn long to book a room at the group rate and missed it, then that is your fault. use websites like Vegas.com to find rooms

Edit: well that went derp somehow if you copy and past it into a browser it should still work :-/

To be fair it's Eve Vegas and the focus is on Eve a little more than at Fanfest, Valkyrie will be there so that will be fun to check out.

Last year there were talks and a bunch of PS3's set up for head to head competitions. So I guess this year nothing, ok would have been nice to know before I booked, I guess Dust really is dead.

If anyone is getting in before Friday and will be at a loose end, I will be attending a pubcrawl downtown around Fremont on Thursday 16th.

http://www.hennesseyslasvegas.com/fliers/f_pub_crawl.gif

Basically be in hennesseys before 7pm, grab a ticket then move with the crowd when it changes bars. Link above has all the info.

Its not a bad way to spend a few hours, and if more eve players show up, then its all good right?

I'll be arriving in Vegas sometime on the 16th (driving down from Oregon). Really excited to party with my favorite space nerds again! If I arrive in time, I'll join your pub crawl, Mangala :)

Kinda torn between sharing the \o/ and being all :( over the lack of one huge queue for food. Met so many people in that queue last year, was a party in and of itself.

To clarify, there won't be food at the party but we will have an open bar. Our early plans had food in them but then we decided to not have food this time around so we recommend people grab something before the party and show up ready to mingle and party from the first minute!

Disappointed there will be no food at the reception :( That buffet last year was terrific, especially for those of us who don't drink much or at all.

However, very thrilled it's at the Chateau! That's a really nifty nightclub - been there before, really enjoyed it!

Will the reception for us at the Chateau be on the terrace or the rooftop, do you know?
