Well, another thread gave the suggestion, if you are in an area where there are few/no conventions, to start your own.
So, I am starting this thread to ask for suggestions and advice on how to go about that?
What could be considered essential?
What would be a good option, if cost is low enough?
What would be too costly for a new convention, but might be an option a few years down the road?
How tightly focused should it be?
Just PFS?
PFS and regular Pathfinder?
RPGs?
Include LARPs or not?
Costume contest (or save til later?)
Panels/seminars, and how do you get speakers?
Card games and board games?
M:tG and its competitors?
Initial size to target?
Note:
OP is in Las Vegas, NV
Local convention NeonCon shut down a couple of years ago
Plenty of hotels in town
Some have convention/meeting rooms
