The Fresno Commodore User Group and the Clark County
Commodore Computer Club (of Las Vegas) present the
sixth annual Commodore Vegas Expo (CommVEx) on July
24-25 at the Plaza Hotel, 1 Main Street, Las Vegas,
Nevada, USA.

CommVEx is the fun and fabulous Commodore/Amiga
computer event on the West Coast of the US. Last
year our guest speaker was Dave Haynie, Commodore and
Amiga engineer, and we teleconferenced with engineers
Chuck Peddle, Bil Herd, and Jeri Ellsworth. This
year, come and celebrate the 25th anniversary of the
Amiga with R.J. Mical and Dale Luck, both Amiga
software engineers, who will be honoring CommVEx
with their presence.

There will be plenty of presentations for attendees
to observe, exhibits for attendees to see, and
computer stations for the attendees to use. Some
of the presentations are on the IDE64 v4.1, the
uIEC, the Mssiah, ham radio on the VIC-20, and more.
For the full list of guests and presentations, go to
http://www.portcommodore.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=commvex:presentations_guests

Some of the exhibits are the AmigaOne G4, the SAM
Flex 440, the Educator 64, and more. For the full
list of exhibits, go to
http://www.portcommodore.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=commvex:exhibits

Enjoy gaming and programming on the computer
stations around the room - a C64 set-up, a C128
set-up, a Plus4 set-up, a VIC-20 set-up, an Amiga
500 set-up, and more.

Participate in the annual CommVEx raffle! This
year the list of prizes include an Amiga 1200HD, a
Commodore SX-64, a 1581 drive, a Super 1750 Clone
ram expander, and a uIEC card drive. For more
information on the raffle, go to
http://www.portcommodore.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=commvex:commvex_raffle

Just for coming through the door, you are entered
into the drawing for door prizes. And each
attendee will receive CommVEx freebies!

CommVEx is in the third floor Jockey Room 1 of
the hotel and officially runs from 11 a.m. to 5
p.m. each day. However, unofficially we start
setting up on July 23, late Friday afternoon,
and after the official times on Saturday, we'll
go late into the night. Feel free to visit
during those hours, too!

Admission is $10 per person, whether you come
for one day or for the whole weekend. Exhibit
tables are free... just pay for admission.
Vendors' tables are free... just pay for
admission and donate an item for the raffle.

The CommVEx venue, the Plaza Hotel, is at the
foot of the glittery Fremont Experience with all
of its shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
Until June 24, rooms are still available at a
discounted price for CommVEx - $49 each night for
Friday and Saturday and $29 for Sunday through
Thursday (not including room tax). Call the
hotel at 1 800 634-6575 or 1 702 386-2110 and
mention CommVEx to the reservations operator, or
visit http://www.plazahotelcasino.com and try
your luck at getting an even cheaper price
on-line for a room. If the Plaza Hotel is not
to your liking, there are plenty of nearby
hotels, like its sister hotel across the street,
the Las Vegas Club Hotel,
http://www.vegasclubcasino.net, or the Main St.
Station Hotel to the north,
