In late summer/early autumn 2016, our original venue for the Commodore   
   Vegas Expo, the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, was unavailable for 2017   
   reservations. Thus, CommVEx was booked into the California Hotel. However,   
   there was always a chance that    
   CommVEx could return to the Plaza when reservations were to open in April,   
   2017.   
        The Plaza Hotel opened up its reservations early! As of March 1, CommVEx   
   is now booked into the Plaza Hotel for July 29-30! With the return to the   
   Plaza, CommVEx exhibitors and attendees will have the perks of the hotel --   
   Friday afternoon and    
   evening set-up, unlimited Saturday evening showroom use, overnight storage in   
   the showroom, and a relaxed Sunday take-down of equipment. As in years past,   
   here is the schedule -   
      
   Friday set-up: 4 p.m. to the finish of set-up   
   Saturday set-up: 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.   
   Saturday official CommVEx showtimes: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.   
   Saturday unofficial CommVEx late-night: 5 p.m. to close of doors   
   Sunday set-up: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.   
   Sunday official CommVEx showtimes: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.   
   Sunday take-down: 5 p.m. until everything is out of the room   
      
        Like last year, we have reserved the use of a 2,000 square foot ballroom   
   with the possibility of another 2,000 square foot ballroom if it is vacant on   
   the CommVEx weekend. At the moment, the only mystery is which ballroom we will   
   receive. That will    
   be announced later.   
        I'd like to thank the following for their patience and support these last   
   few months -- Al Jackson and his Las Vegas Commodore friends, the Fresno   
   Commodore User Group, and the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network,   
   and The Other Group of    
   Amigoids.   
      
        CommVEx is go!   
        Plaza Hotel
