    Man, I'd love to go to CGE this year, but with the... ahem... magnitude of my body it would be impossible to get into an airplane seat. 8*)

    If anyone's driving through eastern PA out to CGE I'd love to hitch a ride, would absolutely pitch in to gas and food expenses.

    you could always pay for two seats, though that could be a little pricey.

    Even that's not a guarantee. If they overbook the flight people have to give up second seats and accept a refund.

    Any idea when the room reservation stuff will go up? I want to make sure and use the reservation code so CGE gets it's credit. I know it is early still, but I am a lock to attend and want to book the room by march/april.

    Hotel info should be available in the next week. Just waiting for the hotel to set us up with a code.

    Some advance info: Sun. - Thurs. $59 per night, Fri & Sat. - $94 per night.

    We really need everyone to stay at the Tropicana, so we'll be offering up some awesome contests once registration starts. Stay tuned!

    Wow sounds like you have quite the trip planned. You should take plenty of pics of the sights to see and share them with us once you get a chance *hint hint*

    i'm about 90% sure i'll be there... i go to las vegas a few times a year and always for a week in the summer.

    i stayed at the tropicana once and to be honest it was kind of a dump... pretty worn down. however, after i saw the convention would be there i read some recent reviews on expedia (almost all bad) and the management came on and responded to the reviews saying they are undergoing a huge renovation and it would basically be a completely different hotel come spring.

    anyway, i'm pretty sure i'll be there and will probably stay for a week or so. i'll make sure to stay at least one or two nights at the tropicana and book using the cge code.

    you are very right about that. i haven't been to a cge before so i forgot it was once at the plaza.

    ...and i wasn't trying to take a shot at cge's choice of hotels. i figured there might be some other people who had bad experiences with the tropicana in the past and wanted to mention that there is a big renovation under way.

    i've stayed at my fair share of dumpy hotels in las vegas and even if it was at the plaza i'd still be sure to book there for the convention night. what else can convention goers do (besides booking at the hotel using the code) to help make sure cge does well enough that it can return in 2011?

    I always chalked up that escalator as a reason to take the stairs. It's always that image I see when I think of CGEs past... that, and the scene of the line just beyond that waiting to get in. Old-school, run-down Vegas as it was, it was still a cool image for me.

    But just my luck, staying in a hotel in Vegas without a poker room. Does that thought mark me as an addict? o_O

    Even still, I'm lookin' forward to it! See you all there!

    Once? It was at the Plaza until 2003. It was then in San Jose in 2004, San Francisco in 2005 before returning to Vegas (at the Riviera) for 2007.
