August 4-6, 2006 @ Riviera Hotel
DEFCON will be held at a new location: the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Vegas. Admission is $100 Cash at the door.
Its a 3 day event. The Riviera is already sold out for saturday and sunday, but for now friday is open for 92 bucks. There are also other hotels near by that might be cheapier.
It might be on average 75 +/- bucks a night at another hotel. Depending on how it goes, we might be able to bunk with other people. (Yeah they do that! I heard of 10 people sleeping in a 1 bed room! Thats how packed it gets)
If we get more people we can share a room and split the price for the room
——————————————
For all 3 days @ Defcon + 3 night stay / Fri, Sat & Sun
(Spliting room cost)
100+100+100+37.5+37.5+37.5
Total price = 412.5 +/-

100+100+37.5+37.5+37.5
Thats 312.5 a person!!! For 2 days.

A quick def of Defcon:
Hacker convention located in Las Vegas every summer where people go to:
1: Learn about the latest computer vulnerabilities, exploits, mods, and hacks.
2: Participate in (generally) computer related contests such as Capture the Flag, Wardriving, Wi-Fi Shootout, Scavenger Hunt, and Spot the Fed.
2: Get trashed and hang out with fellow geeks.
