BREAKING and LIVE from Pittsburgh: Netroots Nation 2010 to return to Las Vegas
The first Netroots Nation, which was originally organized as YearlyKos, was held in Las Vegas in June 2006 at the now-demolished Riviera. Next year's convention will be at the Rio Las Vegas from July 22nd through July 25th.
A little bit about the Rio (from Wikipedia):
The Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino is located off the Las Vegas Strip in the unincorported area of Paradise, Nevada, USA. It is better known as The Rio and is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment. The Rio was the first all suite casino in the Las Vegas area. It was named after the city of Rio de Janeiro, and has Brazilian culture as a main theme.Early bird registration begins tonight at the rate of one hundred and ninety five dollars, twenty dollars higher than the early bird rate for Pittsburgh.
The hotel towers are covered in the signature purple and red glass. The Rio hotel's 2,563 suites range in size from 600 to 13,000 sq ft (56 to 1,210 m2) and have floor to ceiling windows.
The complex includes a wine cellar that has more than 50,000 bottles.[1] The Rio Pavilion convention center has a total of 160,000 sq ft (15,000 m2) of space. A Race and Sports Book is also available.

Andrew,
