Re: Banned from the Riv?
Of course if you did this, I would think you would get yourself signed right up for a ban from defcon.
Not to mention, if you actually USE the room for what *our* intended purposes usually are, the riv would shit their pants and most likely have the authorities on you.
Of course they're not going to check, and if they really intend to keep the penthouses locked off, they're gonna have to do better than that.

Re: Banned from the Riv?
Yeah I was in a room 2 floors down from the red bull incident and was booted. One guy who walked into said room while security was interrogating me got booted. Another kid who followed that guy into the room got booted.
I can see security going up to the room in question and booting everyone when nobody confessed, but taking an elevator down and looking for more people to fuck with is pretty damn stupid.Leave a comment:

If it is true, it is easy enough to bypass:Originally posted by Abby_Normal
"Reservations? Yes. I want a reservation for these days. Oh, I am with the [not defcon group having a convention at the same time].
The only way for them to know, is if you previously signed up for a room under Defcon with the same name/creditcard number, or if you tell them.Leave a comment:

Re: Banned from the Riv?
I know of one ban from the riv that was totaly unfair. But the defcon staff are looking into the matter, hopefully it will be lifted as it was totaly baseless.
The other thing I have heard is that the Riv is refusing to rent ANY penthouse rooms to ANYONE related to defcon. I think this is in some kind of misguided attempt to stop people from having room parties.
Over all, I am very unhappy with the Riv. The lower level staff (house keeping, porter, valets etc) were great, but security and upper managment were rather unpleasent, to say the least.
I tried to cut them slack all through con, since they were not used to us, and I assumed that things would improve now that they know us, but so far it doesn't look that way.Leave a comment:

Re: Banned from the Riv?
i know of three people who were banned outright from the riviera during defcon (who told me this personally and whom i believe) and of at least one or two who were recently aparently notified that they were no longer allowed at the riviera (and this would be de facto banned from defcon)
the first party was a group that was directly related to a security incident which has gotten a lot of attention already. sadly, people were swept up in that purge who weren't actually doing anything wrong.
the second group (and i'm not naming any names outright since i don't know who wants to be known as "those banned people" or not... they had expressed a desire to not be specifically identified when it was first discussed) was, quite unfortunately, doing nothing wrong or illegal and is in no way deserving of this treatment. while i didn't learn of this face-to-face, i know and respect the people involved and have no cause to think it's a myth.
i can only hope there's some confusion or misunderstanding, however... because this is grade A bullshit, i can assure you.Leave a comment:

Banned from the Riv?
Rumor has it the Riv was very liberal when it came to banning people from the property. I'd like to know if there is any truth to that.
Who has been banned from the Riv and why (not banned from/by Defcon)? What are the actaul numbers?
Also, does anyone have any actual info about dammage/arrests/problems?
How bad was it really?
