Glam. Glitter. Costumes. Music. Alcohol 24/7. Pirates. A chapel where you can be married by the Grim Reaper.

Did we mention alcohol?

For sheer excitement and surreal fun, you can't beat Sin City. A home to all types of unusual diversions, Las Vegas also has some of the most comfortable hotels in the country, as well as affordable restaurants and fabulous nightlife. From the small and obscure to the brilliantly gaudy, LV has it all. Take a UFO tour. Visit the Star Trek Experience. Ride a roller coaster that's over 1000 feet off the ground and then eat dinner in the revolving restaurant just underneath it.

Yet this glittering gem in the desert also has its dark side. LV boasts such amenities as the only U.S. store for New Rock Boots, Meschantes Custom Corsets, music shopping galore, and a variety of goth and punk clubs and musicians.

C8LV's vision is a Convergence that is simultaneously a get-together for like-minded people of all ages and a showcase of intra-scene talent, and an unforgettable con experience in the most exotic setting imaginable.

We have chosen the dates Friday-Sunday, September 27-29, 2002 as our weekend to welcome Convergence 8 to Las Vegas. An autumn date for Convergence will avoid the worst of summer's heat while keeping away from conflicts with other events held in the Spring and Summer. We fully anticipate and expect that planning and bidding for C9 will take place separately from the Convergence 8 time-plan. This would allow those who hold C9 to choose a date that works best for them. We will gladly remit our ticketing database or take any other action deemed helpful by the Convergence Vote Committee in making the C9 vote happen.Our theme was chosen to be appropriate to the location as well as the event. It will unify, but not limit, the planned festivities. Come and be tempted by the seductive dark delights of...Sin City 2002.
