Some of you may have heard that Las Vegas is going to be the home of BlizzCon 2010. The odd change in location, to say the least, is far from confirmed. The news comes directly from the Las Vegas Convention Center. Not the most unbiased of outlets considering the topic. A few moments ago Blizzard updated the community with a warning via Twitter. Warcraft tweeted:
#Blizzcon We haven’t announced any details regarding our next BlizzCon, so please refrain from making any travel plans at this time.
The company mentioned at BlizzCon 2009 that Anaheim was home to the convention, but it wouldn’t hurt to shop around. However, there’s numerous reasons why the Las Vegas Convetion Center would lay claims to such a deal. Blizzard may be shopping around the convention in an attempt to gauge the pricing. Such an act could have lead the folks at the convention center to think a deal had been struck. There’s also the possibility that Blizzard may be forced to move from the Anaheim Convention Center due to size consideration, or booking issues.
Assuming it does pan out, at least Las Vegas would be a better place to fly in to. It’s also more of a vacation destination for any spouses who would want to tag along, but not get all nerded out. But who wants to go to the desert in July?
Whatever the case may be, one thing is for certain, Blizzard has not made any official announcements about BlizzCon 2010. Except the one regarding not making any announcements for the convention. Does that count?

I don’t know where the next Blizzcon will be, but you can count Oregon out. My state doesn’t get any serious conventions. Ever.

Wow i hope its really gonna be in Vegas next time, it would be alot cheaper for me to fly to there than Cali. And a great excuse to get to goto to Sin City again hehe

Damn, Sin City would be a nice spot. Not that bad of a drive really to go to a Convention from Colorado. Now if only I could get tickets….Plus im sure I have a free room stay somewhere on the strip.

@cocopuff
I understand your point, but you’d be surprised at how much planning a big event requires.

Honestly I think Las Vegas is a bad idea.. that place is crowded enough as it is. But I guess it would get them more people. It’s definately cheaper to fly to from the east coast and Canada…
… And of course they will still get those crazy koreans =)
