John,
I'd have liked to attend this year. It would have been quite easy as I have meetings on the East Coast next week. Stopping in Vegas on the way would make no difference to the airfare, but professional relationships/obligations intervened again. That seems to be the story of my life- I got as far as Minnesota a few days before the last Whilfest before the "customer beast" intervened and I missed the event.
This Devcon looks like a great show. I envy you!
Regards

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
