I'm putting this one up REALLY early but I want to get as many people from here going as possible. DoA5, at this point, may or may not be in the main lineup, but I may run a side tournament if I don't decide to judge this year. I already have my room booked at the Paris hotel and after my first experience last year will never miss another EVO. It's truly an incredible experience and I highly encourage anyone over the age of 21 to go. If you're 18 or over it's still great but you do get somewhat limited on some of the other attractions in Vegas.

Anybody else making plans to go? Booking this early nearly guarantees the best room rates as well as flights, though flights can generally be had relatively cheap to Vegas unless you're less than two months from your planned trip. A lot of people ended up seeing my arcade stick last year and not me, which is weird, so let's make sure we meet up! Fighting games, Vegas, drinking, gambling, and good company...do not miss it!

If you have questions about Vegas, Evo, money, travel, or anything related, hit me up. This is being opened early so there's a healthy amount of discussion leading all the way up to it. This event is worth experiencing.

Already? I suppose that's doable. Didn't want to put it in unless DoA was confirmed.

I'm going. Have my flight and room booked.

Would definitely enter a DoA side tourney, and would love to get as many games as possible in wherever I can.

Well closer to the event we'll definitely coordinate some things. Judging has a lot of perks but it takes up a TON of time lol. We'll see which way things go.

Paris? Evo gradually gettin fancier. Rio to Caesar's upgrade was grand as is. Can only imagine this.

I'm from Vegas, so was planning to visit home during summer. Whether I go for edc or evo will depend on whether DOA5 is main or not.

P.S. Just made a donation ;D

Just a heads up, I may be able to help people out with the room situation at EVO. I'm not currently sure how many people I'll be allowing into my room as of yet, but if I know you and you want to stay AT the venue, hit me up in a Conversation with what you can afford and we'll go from there. My room is comp'ed for me (as in I don't have to pay a dime) but I only get comps as long as I keep gambling. So in an effort to help out friends and keep my status with the Vegas hotels and Total Rewards, I will allow people to crash in my room for a lot less than it'd cost them to stay at the venue otherwise and I get some "free play" on the gambling floor. As of now I have nobody else promised a slot and I have a 2 Queen sized bed room.

What a nice guy!

And just for the record, from a non-American perspective, the idea of getting a complimentary stay at a hotel in Vegas is..... the stuff of legend.

I need to be one of the crazy foreign people that spends several grand to fly over for the weekend once a year. Sounds amazing.

Actually I got to that level just from Evo last year alone. I did extremely well gambling and as a result spent a ton of money while winning even more. Shot me way up with their rewards program. If you're smart about gambling you only really need to spend a lot once to start getting comps. It's really cool. By the end of that trip I wasn't even paying for food.

I was out ~$500 the last time I went to Vegas. Damn you people that actually know how to gamble. Someone come up with a clever joke regarding DOA and gambling because I can't come up with one at the moment.

Considering the biggest 'trick' to gambling successfully in knowing when to walk away, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to come up with a good punchline there lol.

Are you a seasoned gambler? Coz if the 'trick' to gambling is just have self-control, I might look into going to the casino more..... so I can get to Las Vegas sooner lol

Seasoned? Not even close. But a little common sense goes a long way with gambling. When you don't exercise a little self-control you will lose more often than not in the long run.

I live in Gambler's Paradise, and was wondering: who is going to EVO this year? It should be pretty exciting, and especially for me since it will be my first one. If anyone needs a place to stay, I have a guest room in my home. I'm notorious for bringing strangers into my house. I don't know how to make this sound less awkward, but if you can't afford a room, come play some DOA at my house.

I'll make lil smokies.

As I've mentioned, I already have a room for the whole event. That said, I'll be getting in Thursday and not leaving til Tuesday, so I'll have about a full day and a half where EVO simply isn't happening. Wouldn't mind meeting up.
