Let me start by saying that I had a good time at TC in Las Vegas, but it could have been even better. Las Vegas is a great town with tons to do, but I thought the over stimulation detracted from the feeling of community that I’ve felt at TC in years past. Vegas itself is very decentralized and it require a lot of time (which is limited) moving to and from the convention as well as outside events. I drove my own car the whole time in Vegas, but I heard from many others that ridesharing was not only expensive, but unreliable.
Ultimately the con itself was well executed and fun, but that same energy could have easily been in any other city. The Twitch community is what makes TwitchCon so special, and the decentralized nature of Las Vegas kept a good event from becoming great.
