How To Survive and Enjoy The 2017 Las Vegas Comic Con

The Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con is set for June 23rd through the 25th at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada. This yearly geekathon has been growing for years and attracts huge crowds, looking for their fill of pop culture.

 

Tickets, Hotel & Transportation

First things, first. You need to RSVP to the Las Vegas Comic Con event page on Facebook and make all of your friends wildly jealous about your adventure. Second, make sure you get you before, GASP!….they sell out. Ticket prices vary depending on the days you plan on attending, and VIP packages are available. General Full, 3-day admission, is $60 and is the best value in my opinion. Hotels can also sell out quickly near the convention center, so time is of the essence. Beware of hotels that have low prices, but tack on “resort fees”. Transportation in Vegas has improved over the years. Uber and Lyft are now available in Las Vegas, and there is a designated area at the airport for ride shares. The Las Vegas Monorail is a very affordable option and can drop you off directly at the Convention Center. Make sure you plan to leave your hotel early, to avoid crowds.  

 

Get Your Mind, Body & Soul Ready!

With all the excitement in the air at Comic Con and the nearby casinos, it’s easy to overdo it. Plan for plenty of rest before, during and after your trip. Before your journey, you can play real casino games to test your luck and skill before departure. The Las Vegas Comic Con is also in the middle of some of the most intense heat in Nevada. Temperatures can clock in at over 100 degrees during the day. Stay hydrated, practice good hygiene, do your research and you will have a blast!

  

Don’t Miss These Guests

The Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con has an impressive line-up of guests this year. Todd McFarlane, creator, and genius behind Spawn, Rob Liefield, creator of Deadpool and Ray Park, the actor who is most famous for playing Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Snake-Eyes in G.I. Joe and Toad in X-Men will be in attendance! Keep in mind that special packages (which are limited!) will need to purchase so that you can interact with your favorite heroes.

John Breeden II
As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
