DEF CON is generally in the last week of July or first week of August in Las Vegas. DEF CON 18 will be held July 30 to August 1, 2010 at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Many people arrive a day early, and many stay a day later. This year we will have some things running on Thursday July 29.

How much is admission?

$140.00 USD, Cash for all three days. Everyone pays the same: The government, the media, the ‘well known hackers’, the unknown script kiddies. The only discount is for Goons and speakers, who get to work without paying for the privilege. We only accept cash - no checks, no money orders, no travelers checks. We don't want to be a target of any State or Federal fishing expeditions.
