In our First Part of the AMAZING COSPLAY Preview, we talked a bit about Special Guests from the Heroes of Cosplay- Holly & Jessica, and some of the main panels and events. The Good time just keep rolling at AMAZING ALS VEGAS COMIC CON!
*COMING TO THE CON IN COSTUME has never been easier! Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con staff has coordinated with the fine folks at South Point to check in to the con, while STILL wearing make-up, masks, and carrying props. While the rule still holds firl that you can’t walk across casino floors like this, there will be a special COSPLAY ENTRANCE at that Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con.
Simply Park on the 3rd Floor of the West building, follow the signs down the stairs and you can enter near the Arena. This Special Entrance for Costumers is open 2 hours BEFORE the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con each day, and 1 hour after the hall opens.
Here are the hours for special COSTUME ENTRANCE- Friday June 20 1:00pm- 4:00pm Saturday June 21 8:00am- 11:00am Sunday June 22 8:00am- 11:00am
When checking in you will still need to get all props Peace bonded with Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con Staff, but this option gives a greater amount of flexibility for costumers to bring their top “A” Game when it comes to Cosplay Attire. Replica gear has a wider range using the COSTUME ENTRANCE as well.
Be Sure to Spread the Word of this last minute addition!
