I will be turning 18 next year and I want to go to defcon this year really bad but my parents wont let me go to Las Vegas because they say "people die there". I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can convince them to let me go?

People die in Utah too, unless your parents aren't telling us something.
I feel your pain, I remember as a kikd my parents never let me go anywhere. That may explain why I joined the Army nine days after turning 18.
You can have them come along, Vegas is very entertaining and they will surely find something to do.
As you are legaly a minor your parents are responsible for you, and if you stay with someone in Vegas, that person may be considered responsible for you too. From a lega standpoint your parents can lose everything if you make a mistake.
Best to maturely and calmly sit down with your folks and get a detailed explanation as to their feelings. It may not work for DC12, but it'll be invaluable for the rest of your life. -
I can relate, for I am young, and probably wont be going to a con for quite a while. :(blowfish:.2x10x448

After I got done talking to my dad and he told me that "people die there" I said well people die in the hospitol, in cars, on the streets, and almost everywhere else. The only thing he said after that was "duh you know what I mean". I think Im going to talk to him tonight againComment

Maybe Dad is jealous and wishes he could die in Vegas. :> Search for ther thread "How do you want to die?" for some good ideas. :D
The biggest thing against you is your age. You will not be able to get a hotel or medical attention (in case you are about to die).Comment

Of course questions and fear could arise out of why do the Feds go and why do they watch over some of us. So you might not want to take my advice but its up to you.
