The conference
Events
If one gets tired of the Riv (not too hard), there's always THE ATOMIC TESTING MUSEUM!. Also das Hofbräuhaus, where there's guaranteed to be Deutschen bier served by the liter, and with any luck, frauen in dirndls.
Meet up
Internet
We will require the following:
- Length of ethernet able to span from Riviera to Circus Circus
- High tension reinforcement cable
- Access to Circus Circus network room
- 3 spray cans of "Las Vegas Sky" color paint
- 2 lengths of 4x4 wider than the window hole
We shall be using the High Tension cable for support, and attaching the ethernet to it. Then we shall run the line from our window, where we will use one of the 4x4's to secure it against the wall, to the server room of the Circus Circus. We will have someone infiltrate the Circus Circus and gain access to the networking room, and connect that end of the ethernet to the primary public interwebby switch.
Pre-DefCon Preparations: We will have to obtain some high quality "Las Vegas Sky" color, which used to be blue, but is closer to a brownish/greyish color. Make sure you get a 2005 or newer color pallet. We need to spray the ethernet and high tension cable with this in order to effectively produce an invisible illusion against the already present sky. When in doubt, use 2 coats of paint.
