I read alot of post from former attendies ..meet up here!!, looking forward to this!!,my question is simple..Is Bally's hotel easy to navigate to go places such as meeting places, eating places and Bars? and you talk about Paris being so close but far away from the convention halls.. do i need to take hours to get familiar with and wander aimless around to see all these places?

The great thing is that both Bally's & Paris have maps online on their websites. I haven't been to either of those hotels before, but from what I understand, it's pretty simple. LOTS of walking, however. SMILEY

A lot of walking but not too bad. From the conference rooms, you go around the corner and you're at the breakfast restaurant. Or go down the escalator and a long walk to the end of the hall and you're at Sbarros and Nathans (and an ice cream place). Paris isn't too far away, the buffet is between Paris and Balleys in the same complex. Overall everyone will be gathered in the convention centre area so it isn't too bad to find people and get around. If you're meeting folk away from there, I'd suggest the fountain at the start of the Corridor to Paris; you can't miss it. The real walking comes when you want to go to the strip. It's a long walk but not bad.

From memory the layout of all the Casino's took a little getting used to, but it wasn't too confusing. Even without the map the distance between everything seemed short enough to be explored by just wandering around randomly, which is my normal method if I have plenty of time!

I guess you've heard, but there will also be a pre-SOE Live meetup organised by Feldon at Le Burger Brasserie on Thursday the 18th 5-6:30, that will be a good spot to start at SMILEY
