In late summer/early autumn 2016, our original venue for the Commodore
Vegas Expo, the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, was unavailable for 2017
reservations. Thus, CommVEx was booked into the California Hotel. However,
there was always a chance that 
CommVEx could return to the Plaza when reservations were to open in April,
2017.
     The Plaza Hotel opened up its reservations early! As of March 1, CommVEx
is now booked into the Plaza Hotel for July 29-30! With the return to the
Plaza, CommVEx exhibitors and attendees will have the perks of the hotel --
Friday afternoon and 
evening set-up, unlimited Saturday evening showroom use, overnight storage in
the showroom, and a relaxed Sunday take-down of equipment. As in years past,
here is the schedule -

Friday set-up: 4 p.m. to the finish of set-up
Saturday set-up: 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Saturday official CommVEx showtimes: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday unofficial CommVEx late-night: 5 p.m. to close of doors
Sunday set-up: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Sunday official CommVEx showtimes: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday take-down: 5 p.m. until everything is out of the room

     Like last year, we have reserved the use of a 2,000 square foot ballroom
with the possibility of another 2,000 square foot ballroom if it is vacant on
the CommVEx weekend. At the moment, the only mystery is which ballroom we will
receive. That will 
be announced later.
     I'd like to thank the following for their patience and support these last
few months -- Al Jackson and his Las Vegas Commodore friends, the Fresno
Commodore User Group, and the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network,
and The Other Group of 
Amigoids.

     CommVEx is go!
