The first 12 hours in Vegas is always a hustle, a rush, you stampede around like spooked cattle, startled by the jangle of bells and alarms that signal free money is being shoved into the arms of some lucky fucker who most assuredly is not you. We’ve only been in Vegas for 45 minutes, which explains why we’re in a hurry. Locking a few bottles of it up isn’t going to do anyone, least of not me, a damned bit of good. As far as I can tell, liquor is in charge of the goddamn place. They’ve got it locked up like it’s going to get out onto the casino floor and do something awful. The hotel’s convenience kiosk has two clerks serving a surging tide of casino-goers with gum, souvenirs, smokes and liquor and the other clerk is the one with the keys to the liquor cabinet. The left one regards a magazine rack across the room. The clerk stares back impassively with his right eye. Is there a darker, more gut-wrenching allegory than an empty flask in Vegas? Forget that What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas claptrap, the city’s most primary and inviolable rule is There shall be booze, and plenty of it, readily available at all goddamn times. I take out my flask and show him how empty it is. In order to avoid these issues, many people choose to leave some time during the morning or day on the Monday after DEF CON ends.“I’m sorry, sir,” says the walleyed clerk, “I don’t have the keys to that.

Leaving late Sunday evening means risk for long lines at Las Vegas Airport. Historically, the earliest workshops start Thursday morning.Ĭhoosing to leave on Sunday afternoon means missing out on some of the Sunday content. Sometimes getting a badge as early as possible is functional, to meeting prerequisites, For example, people lucky enough to get one or more seats in a workshop historically need a DEF CON badge in order to get to their workshop, and some of these workshops start only a few hours after badge sales open.

(The options to buy a badge have historically been 'cash at the door' or 'buy a code from the site while available which can be redeemed in-person for a badge.) Linecon is like a social event that some people choose to attend, but a huge majority of people prefer to be well rested before badge sales open up, and plan to arrive to the badge sales line around 1 hours before sales are scheduled or later. This is when some people anxious to get a badge start lining up the evening before badge sales or code redemption open. Historically, Wednesday evening is when 'linecon' starts.

Arriving before room check-in means waiting around in the lobby with your luggage or trusting a hotel service to watch your luggage while you wait or check out what else is available.īecause so many people choose to arrive Wednesday, there are often long lines for hotel check-ins, which cause some people to arrive Tuesday. This often gives them time to collect any checked bags, and get transportation to the hotel they will be staying before ~4pm when many hotels open the option for people to check-into their rooms. Many hotels do not allow for early check-in, so people often plan to have their flight arrive in the early afternoon from around 1pm to 3pm local Las Vegas time. Ignoring these, many long-time attendees choose to arrive the Wednesday afternoon before DEF CON and leave the Monday after DEF CON is over. Many people have reasons to show up earlier than DEF CON. Some people drive out to a road to Area 51, or visit Hoover Dam, or drive to a nearby lake. Some people also visit Las Vegas several days before DEF CON to see shows, visit museums, or visit other Las Vegas attractions, or 'nearby' things. There have been things like 'The Unofficial DEF CON Shoot' and 'Toxic BBQ' which have happened before DEF CON. For some people, this is a chance to meet-up with friends they only see in-person at DEF CON, so they make arrangements to show up early just to hang out and socialize or party. Others may not be goons, by might arrive early enough to be ready to setup their village, or other content.

Some people arrive early to help with setup like some goons. Some people show up earlier for various pre-DEF-CON events. Thanks :)Villages do not open until after DEF CON badge sales open up, and even then, most villages historically do not open until DEF CON Friday. But when you go to booking a room its AugAugust 13, 2024.

I see the dates on the page for 2024 are 8-11 Aug.
