The new venue gave us a few hiccups getting in. Once we were in it was fabulous! Lots of Good guns available and selling in our room. I have had a great show both buying and selling.

I managed not to buy any guns, but saw a lot of interesting stuff. I met some new friends and saw some old friends that I haven't seen for over 10 yrs. I am looking forward to next year.

This was the first Vegas show I've missed in 20 years. How was the new facility? Was it big enough to handle the show? Layout? Any talk about it being a permanent location for this show? I'll be there next year-God willing!

It sounds like this is permanent, with more space next year.

It was a great show with some unloading issues. I met new friends also and did some trading and selling. We were totally amazed at how much collectible ammo that we sold. I promised my wife that I would not buy another gun. I almost kept that promise. Thomas

I promised my wife I would not buy any more old ammo.......... Then I went to see tom and Phil and that promise vanished. It Was a great three days. Next year we move next door and the antique arms show space will increase from 40k square feet to 70k. Already looking forward to next year.

I have been attending this show for 17 years. The Westgate is a definite upgrade from the Riviera. The rooms are nicer, there are more restaurants, coffee shops and even a buffet. The show was great even though the square footage was 2/3rds of the previous size. It was fun talking to all the nice folks from all over the country. My wife and I are excited for next year when the show will even be larger than ever before. I too couldn't keep my promise with my wife about buying a gun. I found a CH 12 gauge with Bernard steel barrels at a great price that I couldn't walk away from. Good time had by all!

Thanks everyone for your various responses. I'll make it back next year!
