Gary and i booked a 2 bedroom suite in the Luxor a few days ago.
The Mandalay was sold out so quickly because there are 3 other conferences happening at the Mandalay according to the catering manager ive been talking to there over the last few months.
Not to mention the CES show AND the AVN show all happening around the same time as Internext.
IMHO AVN really fucked up the planning of this Internext and, despite the venue change i think its going to have an even more adverse effect on the show in the long run.
I know from my standpoint we wont be holding another Gay Webmaster Bash in Vegas so long as we have to go through the shows 'official' routes, just to damn complicated to get anything done in a timely fashion.
Next year i think our Vegas events will take the form of a nightclub setting that we'll rent out for 3 nights or, we'll book up one of the hotels off the strip and do our own 'mini' show without the need for AVN and their redtape / political bullshit.
