| - Still a top con show in the Vegas Valley!
I've been volunteering for the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con since it was first here in 2013. The show has come a long way since then in organizing lines, adding panels, and bringing in top notch artist talent. Especially in the middle of a hot, hot summer!
This con is definitely not on the San Diego size level, but the great thing about this one is that it's a lot more personable. Artists are more likely to shoot the breeze with you while they sign or draw for you. It's not as crowded and as such the vibe is more relaxed.
Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con is all about celebrating artists and writers of your favorite comics and books today. It also is a great venue for the smaller artist to show of their skills. This year's show focused on having more artists then reseller/retail booths, which is good. But me being a toy collector, I love buying me some new goodies! Luckily there still is a large number of vendors to fill your toy and comic book needs!
I met a lot of top talent in this year's con. I got to see fan favorite George Lopez! Guy is a beast, he can draw all day long. He sketched on my Nerf Mjolnir Thor hammer! Met with Batman artist Greg Capullo and got a sig and tiny sketch from his as well (the dude hardly does sketches for folks)! Deadpool ace creator Rob Liefeld was on hand too! Jim Shooter! Charles Soule! Mark Bagley! John Romita Jr.! All in attendance!
Great thing about this con is that you can have a comic theme weekend and stay at the South Point Hotel & Casino where to con is held...for DIRT CHEAP. You imagine that on a weekend when EDC is in town at the same time? Booking a room through Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con rates was easy! Only $90 a weekend night, with no resort fees! Hotel rates that weekend were near double without the con special. Plus you get a South Point fun book as well, gives you discounts on things like drinks and food! A buffet in the hotel for half off! I had crab legs & prime rib on Friday night...for $13 and change!
Even going to the con was cheap as well! Tickets were available on Groupon for under $12 a day if you looked at the right times. How can you go wrong? Getting a rich comic con experience for a pauper's price? Come on!
The Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con has only been getting bigger, floor space used is now much larger and the panels are getting bigger and better as well. They have recently added some decent celebrities to their roster of panels. Special guest this year was John Barrowman from Arrow and Doctor Who! They even had the voice actors from Power Rangers, and the voice actors from Sailor Moon!
By far one of my favorite comic cons in all of Las Vegas. Can't wait to volunteer again next year!
