19 and want to goto Fanfair

[Dragonspawnki]

I play EQ1 and have for 3-4 years and have wanted to goto fanfair since last year but i am only 19.  I dont want to blow my savings and not have fun while im there and or misout on the good stuff. So for those who went last year what kinda stuff would i be missing out on and what could i get away with.

<p>Depends on where and what the events are. </p><p>Last year there was a pool party and a party up at the Voodoo Lounge. Both required 21+. AFAIK there were no other events that were locked out by age. However I think that had more to do with the Rio then SOE, as Harrah's properties do not even let people under 21 get a hotel room.</p><p>Since it is at the Hilton this year, I'm going to guess that some of the rules may be a bit more lax on some things. They allow 18+ to get rooms there and as long as you don't go to the bars/casino floor, security does not bother you there.</p><p>If any of the planners happen to be paying attention to this as well, it may be a good idea if you have an event with drinks, maybe have a wristband that people over 21 wear so that they are easily identified.</p>

I was thinking more along the lines of having it open to 18+ but having a way to identify the 21+ people easily without it being able to be "transferred" off of a 21+ to a 20-...

It might be kind of touchy as I am sure both SOE and Hilton would not want 21+ people passing drinks to the underage.

Though vegas is one of those towns i have maybe once or twice have been carded. Plus i look very young, so its very odd to me that i rarely if never get carded there. No matter what companys trie to do theres always going to be a very limited amount of underage drinking. No getting around it, Thats why they do the 21 plus events but shrug whatever.
