Global Gaming Expo (G2E) - worth it for affiliates?

[FictionNet]

I'm going to be in Vegas in October, checking out potential venues for my wedding in 2013. Being the romantic bastard that I am, I am tying the visit in with the Global Gaming Expo (G2E).

I've done a bit of reading about G2E and it seems to be mostly land-based related. My question is, what's there for affiliates? I'm definitely going but I'm wondering how relevant it'll be to my market.

Are you going to G2E this year? If so, why?

TIA.

I found this was last year. Seems to be great event. Maybe in 2012 it will repeats, you should ask organizers

And, my congratulations!

no idea but i got married at the MGM Grand in 2010, it was good then we had the reception at an Italian place up near Wynn

In terms of content and operators I would say its not relevant for affiliates however its great to see what is happening in the land based market especially from the new games angle and with the convergence between online and landbased gaming I think there is a lot of benefit there..... This year the iGaming zone will be much bigger but again its more b2b.

There is also a hardcore growing bunch of us that go each year and use G2E as an excuse to justify it so if you do go make sure you let me know as there is usually 20 - 50 of us out there that are fun

I go just to see some friends but I have to say I was very disappointed that they sold my sister in laws contact info to somebody as we are getting slammed with perfect pen and stationary catalogues .My sister in law lives in Alberta and last year I registered her as she was planning to meet us in Vegas.Now my sister in laws name is on mail to my business address.I never accuse unless I am 100% sure and I am 100% sure on this.

Sorry, Fred - I should've updated, I won't be attending after all - just no chance I can get away. LAC is going to be my next conference but I'll still make it to Vegas at some point in the next six months.

Was hoping to see you Rob, but i know i'll likely get more sleep if i don't hang with you. I still remember that night at Gala when you beat the roulette wheel pretty good in the 15 minutes before close. One of the nicest streaks i've seen.

That sounds like something I should remember.

It was after you were the big winner on the Dogs. Out with Fortune at ICE about 2006, i think

I do remember winning at the dogs with Fortune. No idea what I won but I vaguely remember standing by the track, with a trophy? I need someone to follow me around with a cam so I can have some sort of idea what happens to me.

Yea, and don't forget Rob, you promised to share your winnings with all of us.....

Sheesh....
