Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con 2017...Big on Security, but Even Bigger on Fun

Geek Life Industries' Batcave Toy Room was on the floor at this years 5th annual Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con held at the Las Vegas Convention Center June 23-25. Amidst the updated safety procedures of banning several types of cosplay weapons and props, this years event housed a record breaking 33,000 attendees.

Aside from the usual creativity of Coplayers in attendance, this year also appealed to Geek Culture in the way of celebrity appearances. Marvel Comics Legend Stan Lee was in attendance along with actors from the Star Wars franchise, Ray Park (Darth Maul) and Peter Mathew (Chewbacca). Although, the late Adam West was scheduled to appear before his untimely death, Batman co-stars Burt Ward, Julie Newmar, and Lee Meriwether also made an a showing.

After a man carrying a loaded gun was arrested at the Phoenix Comic Con a month prior, Cosplayers were ask to dress down a bit weapon wise. A small inconvenience for being able to attend a Con that was tons of fun.

The Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con 2015: A Look Back At The Best In Cosplay

Las Vegas may have reached record temperatures the weekend June 19 -21, but the 113 degree heat wasn't the only thing that was hot in Sin City as a myriad of Geeks stormed the South Point Hotel and Casino to attend the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con. The convention returned for its junior year bigger and better than ever. Boasting high profile guest that included superstar comic book artists like George Perez, Rob Lifled, Steve McNiven, and Greg Capullo, as well as, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle co-creator Kevin Eatman, pop culture TV favorite John Barrowman (Arrow, Doctor Who) and many more.

Once again this year there were Coplayers galore! As always Steff Von Schweetz was one of my favorites as Carrie Kelly Robin and later in the weekend as Rocket Raccoon. I was also hypnotized by the Penguin's umbrella, a TIE fighter pilot in his morning robe and slippers, and a couple of Jokers.

Adventures in Cosplay from Wizard World Las Vegas 2015

Jared Leto's Joker released just yesterday and this cosplayer is already going insane over it

Coming hot off the heels of last week's Star Wars Celebration and still having vision's of bikini clad Slave Leia's in my head, I ventured into another Con this weekend filled with costumed conventioneers at Wizard World Las Vegas 2015.

The freshman appearance of Wizard World this year is joining the ranks of other Comic Cons like Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con and the Las Vegas Comic Expo in Las Vegas's ever growing hunger for geek culture.

In true Geek form, cosplayers came dressed in their best and came armed once again with their talents of creativity, ingenuity, and many times with the personalities of the characters they are portraying. Here's a look at what we saw.
