I could handle that! Remember going to a large show back in the late 80's and Red Shoendinst was a signer held at one of the casinos.

There was a Las Vegas National Sports Collectors Convention proposal. In 1980, at the very first National, the late Will Davis proposed to hold the National in L.V. for 1981. I don't recall the vote totals but Will got several votes among dozens cast. The winner, of course, was Lloyd & Carol Toerpe's proposal for Plymouth, Michigan (Greater Detroit!) - which turned out to be an excellent early show.

It just seems it would be a no brainer.

I would have loved to go to Vegas, now I'm not so sure if truly appropriate for a National Convention.

Great location for people who have money to get to, easy enough for dealers to get to, actually not that far for Southern Califonria (drivable distance) BUT,

The hobby is strongest on the east coast then the west coast and there are not a ton of kid driendly things to do on the strip.

However, I would not mind seeing Anaheim at some point back in the rotation and I'm sure Mike Berkus would as well

The casinos tried to be kid friend a couple decades ago. But if you look, I think you could find something for the kids to do. Atlantic City is casinos too, but they held it there.

And the boardwalk which during the day are extremely kid friendly.
