It's mostly with liquor bought from offsite and drunk in rooms/private parties, not via Caesar's venues or catering (there's a lot of that too, and this is summer dead period, so it still may be good).
- kortilla 3y agoI explicitly remember them tapping out every keg at a bar there by 2pm about 10 years ago.
- kstrauser 3y agoI can think of plenty of in-hotel bars packed with DEF CON attendees 24 hours a day during the conference.
- hyperhopper 3y agoThe linq bar turned into a 24hr party after the bomb threat last year
- andy800 3y agoA bomb threat last year? Hmmm, I wonder why Caesars chose not to renew the contract.
- jeltz 3y agoYeah, I think those things are more likely to be the issue. Tech people tend not to be shy with racking up huge bar tabs.
- jstarfish 3y agoUnrelated to DEFCON, Caesars (and MGM) also got hit with ransomware. I'm sure their insurers might not be too happy about them hosting hacker conventions these days.
- hyperhopper 3y agoThey didn't choose to not renew a contract, they broke an existing contract. Big difference.
- kstrauser 3y ago“Turned into?” I accidentally bumped into a random guy there before the con started, and we ended up chatting and he bought me a beer. I saw him there the next morning. And that evening. And at 2AM. Almost every time I walked past, the same guy was in the same seat, enthusiastically laughing and drinking with his buddies. Dios mio, amigo.
