For those of you who are planning to be in Las Vegas or Southern Nevada this weekend there is a coin show that is going to be held at the Sands Convention Center. The show will take place from Friday until Saturday. Barry Furman of Henderson, NV is the operator of the show.

The Sands Convention Center is located on Sands Avenue at Las Vegas Blvd. It is also connected to the Venetian Resort Casino.

This show was just added several weeks ago, so it isn't well publicised yet.

    Several weeks ago, and not publicized "yet"--but it's this weekend! The show is ruined, publicity or not, now. Can't just pack up and go with 2 days notice. But, I was planning to go to Vegas this weekend anyway. Might check it out.

    That's exactly what I told the show's promoter. It's going to be the first show ever he's putting on, so all fingers are crossed. I figured I would be charitable tonight and advertise on his behalf.

    Print ads and other advertising requires a lead time of several weeks, so he's lucky that any promotion is even appearing anywhere.

    That's a huge convention center, too. He had to advertise it somewhere to sell tables, no?

    He passed out bourse applications to dealers at a few West Coast shows in the past month or so, so the dealers knew about the show when nobody else did.

    If I recall the Sands Convention Center is the second largest convention center in the world and one of my first questions was if he knew which specific room the show would be in. It definitely pays to know where in the convention center the show is going to be because finding your way around can be a time consuming affair.

    It's very packed this weekend, and from what I understand room rates are bordering on absurdity for this entire week.

    You want absurd? Try CES week (like you and I talked about a few weeks ago).....THAT is absurd!

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
