OucH that's no bueno... People from outside of Vegas of course scratching their heads and making the desert / las Vegas rain jokes no doubt...

 

We get crazy crazy monsoon like rains for about 5-10 minutes, all the while people are floating on air mattresses in the flash flood water..

 

Hopefully this doesn't Cause any show breaking issues :/

Well if more rain hits we can kidnap the Pontoon boats from Lake Mead and turn the con into a Floating Comic Con. lol

 

:jokealert:

 

Speaking of kidnapping, going to ask you a question and kidnap this thread as it might pertain to other folks interested..

 

The VIP bags have a bunch of goodies in them that are signed or sketched prior to the show.. do you think those items can be sent in via SS with your powers of facilitation? :)

 

I'd guess no because you technically didn't witness it, however its one of those weird technicalities that maybe could be posted in the ask cgc area.. Wonder if via the VIP package arrangements could be made to hold off on the sketches or signings till it can be witnessed to accommodate those looking for some graded items

Time to cancel my reservation at Alexis Park, no reason to stay there now.

 

 

Circus Circus is right across from the Riv. They usually have cheap rates for the motel out back but watch the resort fees. Not much else up there these days. Bunch of closed down casinos( Sahara) or imploded ones-( Stardust, Westward Ho)

Let me look into this. I might have a solution to this little problem.

 

Now lets get back to the idea of Pontoon Comic Cons. lol

Thanks but Circus Circus scares me. Frickin' clowns.

 

I'm coming a week early for poker and fun so I'll try to extend my room stay at my present hotel. If not, I'll move to the Venetian since that's my usual place to play.

FYI... Just released by the Las Vegas Comic Expo:

 

LAS VEGAS COMIC EXPO

MOVES

FROM ALEXIS PARK

TO THE RIVIERA HOTEL AND CASINO!

 

Las Vegas Comic Expo, previously announced to be held at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort, will be relocating to a new venue, the Riviera Hotel and Casino, directly located on the Las Vegas Strip!!!

 

Due to the flash floods from the recent rain storms, the original hotel and halls located at the Alexis Park Resort were damaged beyond immediate repair to house Las Vegas Comic Expo. Drywall, carpet and a lack of power proved too much to repair in such a short window, thus making the shift to the Riviera necessary.

 

We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused any of our guests, vendors and attendees. But oddly enough this unfortunate circumstance actually has led to an expansion for the show with a larger convention hall and plenty of space for attendees to browse and shop. The new location at the Riviera will be able to showcase and accommodate the entire guest list of over 50 of the top names in comics and entertainment all united with the exhibitors and artist alley in one grand exhibit hall. The gaming, panels and programs will be conveniently located adjacent to the main hall as well.

 

The dates of the convention hours remain the same for Las Vegas Comic Expo: Saturday, September 29 (10AM to 7PM) and Sunday, September 30 (10AM to 5PM).

 

All tickets previously issued will be honored and redirected to Las Vegas Comic Expo at the Riviera. Tickets are still available for sale in advance as well as at the door on the days of the event.

 

Located on the Las Vegas Strip, The Riviera Hotel and Casino is just a quick cab or shuttle ride from McCarran International Airport (LAS) and only minutes away from downtown Las Vegas and the Fremont Street Experience.

 

The hotel offers guests amenities of many dining options including a buffet, food court and steakhouse as well as the Oasis Pool, a barber shop, beauty salon, tattoo parlor (What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas), gaming casino and other forms of entertainment and conveniences. The hotel has ample free public parking, and is also a short walk to the public monorail system.

 

The Riviera is located at 2901 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109.

HOTEL INFORMATION

 

 

RIVIERA HOTEL AND CASINO INFORMATION:

 

We are making arrangements with the Riviera Casino and Hotel to offer our guests of Las Vegas Comic Expo similar room rates as we had offered to our guests at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort.

 

We will have updated information to reserve hotel rooms within the next day.

 

Once we have that information, we will send it out to everyone.

 

 

FOR THOSE BOOKED THROUGH THE ALEXIS PARK ALL SUITE RESORT:

 

If you used the "Las Vegas Comic Expo" promotional rate, you have two options.

 

OPTION 1:

 

You can maintain your reservation at the Alexis Park Resort.

 

The Alexis Park All Suite Resort will run a 14 seat shuttle service, complimentary to and from the Riviera Casino and Hotel, taking our guests door to door. The shuttle service will run on Saturday and Sunday from the Alexis Park every 2 hours at 8:00am, 10:00am, 12:00pm noon, 2:00pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm, and 8:00pm.

 

They will also continue to have complimentary shuttle service for their guests between the airport and the Alexis Park All Suite Resort.

 

 

OPTION 2:

 

You can cancel your room at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort and opt to make a reservation at The Riviera Hotel and Casino. The deadline to cancel at The Alexis Park Resorts without penalty is 48 hours prior to the date of your reservation.

 

 

For those who made reservations at Alexis Park outside of the Las Vegas Comic Expo promotions, you will need to discuss with Alexis Park about your options.

 

 

 

THE CONFIRMED 100 OFFER:

 

If you took advantage of the "Confirmed 100 Offer", your free admission to Las Vegas Comic Expo, as part of our free pass promotion will still of course be honored as long as the following applies:

 

If you keep your Alexis Park reservation, you will still receive the free admission pass(es).

 

If you transfer your reservation to the Riviera Hotel and Casino, you will still receive the free admission pass(es).

 

We will cross check all reservations made with Alexis Park and the Riviera.

 

With the current situation, the easiest way to claim your free admission is to bring a government issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc...) to the Will Call area during the pre-registration or show times.

There is a Mcdonald's across the street from the Riviera and huge construction site for the future Echelon is right next door, Sahara is receiving a $300 million face lift and will emerge as the new SLS Las Vegas.

 

Also the Peppermill restuarant/lounge is close and a Denny's as well.
