Vegas

[Judge Smails 3,900]

We have a big conference in August in Las Vegas. Looks like it’s on. Venetian. Probably will be my first time back. Hoping there’s some sense of normal by then.

Good stuff but I’m way out of practice.  The local PLO8 game more or less ate its self alive down here and hasn’t really run except with 6 pros at the table.

Mostly back, but there are a few things. Masks are required and table games gave plexiglass shields that make it hard to talk to the people beside you. Restaurants are way reduced capacity, but I heard that may not be much longer.

Has anyone done Omega Mart? Looks like an interesting place.

September trip is already planned. I will probably try to get a summer weekend in too.

Yeah, Omega Mart is wild. I've never seen anything like it - I do recommend but you need to go into it ready for the weird. There is actually a puzzle to solve (sort of in the same vein as an escape room except you aren't trying to escape) but you don't have to even dive into that to enjoy it. There is so much to look at and explore I wish I could describe it better than that but it's so unique - you just have to experience it.

Yeah that’s what I’ve read. Going to take the kids (teens) when we are there in June. I’ve been trying to get general info on the place (pay attention to video screens, look for phones, etc) while staying relatively spoiler free. If you have other tips or tricks though that aren’t super spoilers I will take a PM! Do they give out the Boop cards right when you start?

Any employee working has a stack of boop cards. Just pick one up from anyone.

 

Non-spoiler tips (at least I don't consider these spoilers):
Tip #1 - every product you see in the store is actually for sale (though expensive).
Tip #2 - Immerse yourself in the experience. Pick things up. Touch things. Try to open doors, windows, lockers, etc. If it looks like you can open it/walk through/into/around it, you probably can.
Tip #3 - Wear a high quality mask. It felt very covidy in there as there were a crap-ton of people. They say they limit entrance #s, but it sure didn't feel like it.
Tip #4 - There is a merch store in the facility. Easy to miss as it's tucked away in a corner.
Tip #5 - There are places to eat inside Area 15 - arrive early or plan to stay late and enjoy the place.

Thanks, that helps. I’ve seen other people say it’s packed too, which makes it seem like tons of people would be crowded around the same portals/clues?
