Desert Wars 2002

This is the first wargaming convention in Las Vegas and looks to be an excellent way to empty a wargamer's pockets! Gambling, all sorts of entertainment and wargaming all in one place! The convention has switched its venue to the Holiday Inn located on Flamingo Road. This is only two blocks - from the Bellagio and Caesar's Palace. The deadline to submit your application to run a game and be listed on the Open Gaming List is 3/15/2002. If you run a game, then you get a complimentary buffet meal (Limit is one game per day). If you have any questions, then call 1-928-453-2215 or 1-928-453-2883 and leave a message with Two Crows Catering.
