Obligatory Hyperion Thread

[Haxaan]

A few of my fc mates and I will be there! Heading in on the 16th.

Hi guys, sorry I've been neglecting to reply on the thread... I've been busy with my costume! :P

I've literally never been to Las Vegas so... I think it would be safe to defer to people who actually know the area. I'm liking Kirito's idea. If we find that the fan fest has more open space than we anticipated, we could always find a meeting place at the fan fest itself... but if not, we can meet at the Spanish Steps?

...We've looked a bit into possible meeting places, and we thought the Spanish Steps at Caesar's Palace might be a good place for those 21 and over...

I live here and hope to buy tickets at the entrance.

Hey all, checking in again to see what other people's thoughts might be on meeting up.

My friend and I were thinking of meeting before the main events on that Saturday, so maybe Friday night/Saturday morning? This way, we can get to know each other beforehand and group up for the event.

If we can't/don't want to meet at the Spanish Steps, maybe meet outside the event before it starts Saturday morning? I don't know when everyone else gets in, but we get into Vegas Friday afternoon, so we'd be available from then on. And if anyone wants to swap contact info to make a meet-up easier, just let me know.

I will be arriving Friday afternoon... and will be picking up my tickets then, but likely won't bother putting my costume on until Saturday. We could perhaps do a meet-and-greet Hyperion dinner (maybe) on Friday night? If people are up for it? Could be fun...

OH, and it would give us a chance to form premade 8-man groups for the activities (extreme roulette anyone?). ;P How cool would it be to win shirts with an all-Hyperion group?

Hyperion here! I'd love to meet some people from Hyperion, if you're all doing a meetup. Feel free to come say hi if you see me either on the floor or at the meet up, or even in-game! Keep us posted on a meetup, I'm flying in on Friday should be there just after lunchtime.

Wooooo!!! One Week till I land in Vegas!! Can't wait to meet a few of my fellow Hyperions!!

I'm down for a Hyperion dinner. One thing to keep in mind is that, at least at the hotels on the Strip, food can get kind of expensive; ultimately, it depends on what we'd want, really.

It might be worth looking into going to a buffet, since last I knew they had open seating and, obviously, tons of food. The only problem there is that even that can get a bit pricey (last I knew, the Rio had one for $25 a person).

I'll do a bit more research and see what I can find. Don't be afraid to do your own though. There's a lot of places to eat on the Strip, and I'd love to try some new ones (within budget, of course haha).

If all else fails, In-N-Out's not far away, and that's always good haha

Would anyone be interested in a Fanfest-specific Hyperion Linkshell, just to chat before the event?

I would definitely be interested in that. I work tomorrow through Thursday from 9-7 AZ time, but I would definitely be somewhat active in an LS after I get home around 7:30-8. I'll keep an eye on the thread like I have been in case someone decides to make one.
