Last August I attended the mega popular cybersecurity conference Defcon in Las Vegas. In short, it was an amazing experience. It was my first time in Las Vegas and it was fabulous!
I tried catching glimpses of my experience in this vlog. If you're a cybersecurity or infosec enthusiast, I definitely recommend going to Vegas in the first two weeks of August because you'll not only get to Defcon, but BlackHat runs around the same time (I believe a few days earlier). And there are also a few other conferences on the topic.
The major downside, in my view, is the unbearable heat. During the day time, temperatures can get around 50 degrees Celsius, so it's a living hell and you can't get outside (of the casino lol). Anyway, I hope you enjoy the vlog:
