I wanted to send out a quick note to let you know that we ARE in fact working on WordCamp Las Vegas, even though there isn’t much going on public facing. Here is some of what has been going on:
- I’ve met with a couple different places about potential meeting space. We’ve run in to two different issues; availability and cost. There is a slight chance we may need to change the date for WordCamp Las Vegas in order to take advantage of a reasonably priced location. This should be sorted out by the end of this week.
- With the possibility of a change in dates, I have been reluctant to put up the speaker and sponsor request pages. But, I think that can wait no longer and we’ll be putting those up this week as well.
- We’ve already had some decent interest from people looking to register for the event. AS SOON as we lock down a location, we’ll open registration with a nice early-bird special for those looking to register right away.
You can expect to see a lot of movement over the next 30 days as we get ramped up. Then, a huge push the final few weeks as the event gets closer. We’re excited about WordCamp and it’s nice to know that so many of you are, too.
Good job guys! Keep doing it right and please give free shirt!
Thanks to all of those who are arranging this and worked for it. Here’s hoping you find a reasonable venue. The southwest portion of the WordPress users are thrilled to get in on the Vegas camp.

I have had real good luck with Southpoint which is located away from the strip and really well priced. Maybe that hotel would work? Looking forward to the event.
Let me know if you need local help —- I used to do event planning, educational events, etc. and live in Vegas. Glad to help (no compensation needed)
Thank you so much for the offer. We seem to have everything pretty well under control at the moment. We may need a couple sets of hands for event day, but if you are looking to attend to take advantage of the awesome content, we’d rather have you in the audience! As we get closer to the event we’ll know more about what help is needed and will put out a request before the big day.
