It was announced that DEF CON 25 would be at Caesar's Palace. Some considerations?
The Russian word "Czar" is a derivation of "Caesar". When the U.S. appointed a "Drug Czar" it is a "Drug Caesar". ( http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/czar )
Ages ago, there was a decimal/metric calendar with 10 months per year. Leave it to a Caesar to ruin things with the addition of July and August for Julius and Augustus Caesar. A 10 month calendar, where SEPT-ember was the seventh month, OCT-ober was the eighth month, NOV-ember was the ninth month and DEC-ember was the tenth month -- ALL RUINED. Terrible.

Thanks Caesar!
DEF CON has historically taken place in July or August -- the two months added to the 10 month calendar that ruined the 10 month calendar and naming convention. "O noez! can haz a conspiracy!" ( = Sarcasm: Oh no; It is a conspiracy.)
Thanks Caesar!
See? This is why we can't have nice things.
I can see LosT 's badge contest and/or mystery challenge including some sort of reference to this calendar issue especially since we would be at Caesar Palace for DEF CON 25.
Have you made plans yet for DEF CON 25? Requested time off work? Made reservations at a hotel? When do you usually make these plans? Have you looked at the towers available at Caesars to see if any tower would be preferred over others?
People that have been to BlackHat will have the advantage of experience. They have ideas on what the convention center is like, and have likely been in one or more hotel room.
What are your plans for room reservations and DEF CON 25?
