The Classic Gaming Expo 2001 was held in the Union Plaza Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada on August 11th and 12th, 2001. The exhibit hall opened at 9:00 am and long line formed early.

While watching the participants enter the hall, I counted 11 Atari T-shirts all ranging from basic red with black writing to navy blue with pretty silver silk screening. The overall atmosphere could be described as a combination reunion scattered with fanboys.

Registration was well done and very organized, which is surprising for a low-priced convention. That's Ernest Pazera on the right with the Gamedev T-shirt. We received a nice program and laminated badges. The badges proved to be very good to have, as the hotel had a guard checking badges. He was very good at his job!
