How does everyone think having a con at a casino will effect attendance/who attends?

I could see it going either way being a con with a lot of buyers or just a circus.

I imagine it could do pretty well. There are tons of stuff to do at the casino and if I remember correctly it is kid friendly as long as they do not enter the gaming area.
