IGL - Pre-Evo Memorial Day BBQ (Las Vegas, NV)

Date: Wednesday, July 4th
Time: Starting at 12pm
Location: Immortal Gamers League, 5790 Rogers St. Las Vegas, NV 89118
Entry Fee: $10, this is to cover costs of food for the BBQ and drinks that people will be having.

This is a pre-event that I've been wanting to hold before Evolution. I know how my first Evo was 10 years ago when I barely knew anyone at the event. Back then Evo only had around 400 - 500 attendees. Now it has grown to sizes probably around 20 times that amount. This event will be for new attendees and veterans alike. It's to make sure people get that last minute grind session in before the big weekend, but at the same time have everyone get to know one-another. Now when you show up to the ballroom on the first day you won't feel so nervous or leftout since you know a couple people there. We will also be having multiple tournaments running for all the games that are being showcased at Evo. The space should be pretty big and hopefully it's not too hot or windy that day. Also, from the location you get a beautiful view of the strip so we should be able to see all the fireworks go off which all starts around sunset. So come down get some games in, get some food and drinks, and get to know everyone. Hope to see you all there.

I can't imagine many people being 2 days early for evo, but it sounds like a lot of fun! Hopefully there's a nice turn-out for FS.

 

Actually some people make a vacation out of it I heard. Also apparrently quite a few SC & KoF players have been verified to show up. Either way figured I'd pass this along. Hoping the VF turn out is good as well.

 

I might be interested in this because I'm getting into Vegas tomorrow morning but, it's my first time in Vegas so I don't know where anything is.

 

i'm kinda interested since i'm already in town but am wondering how much would a cab ride be to the event from the strip and how many people are expected to enter fs?
