I was only able to attend on Thursday due to other commitments, but here are my impressions:

1. I thought the organization was excellent. Check in was smooth. Everyone was helpful and friendly. One small ask would be to for better signage for the vendor hall and overflow area. I knew where the vendor hall was after attending for years, but I had to point some other folks to it as they couldn't find it. Same with overflow area.
2. Vendor area was busy! Lots of vendors brought games to play (and sell). Unfortunately, there were some vendors missing that have attended before but I understand that physical sales takes much more effort than esales. That being said, I left with $500-1000 in my pocket that I would have spent on vendors who chose not to attend. Please take that comment for what it's worth because I know a lot of folks who said they would have bought things they don't necessarily buy online because they can tangibly see the items.
3. Game room was full. By the end of the evening, there were a significant number of games not working or with problems, but that is unavoidable unless a show is being run like VFW. Expo isn't VFW, nor should it try to be.
4. I thought the Westin was more accommodating that in previous years. I stayed there Thursday night and the management seemed good with all of the revelry.
5. The homebrew lineup was outstanding! It is incredible to see the passion, skill and creativity of people in this hobby.
6. One last comment, and I'm probably in the minority, but I missed the Galloping Ghost dedicated room from last year. He was generous enough to bring a ton of rare games, as well as popular ones from the 80's. There were some here this year, but far less. I loved the vids complementing the pins simply because it brought me back to pleasant memories of arcades in my youth.

A big plus also because I didn't once run into crop-dusting or someone with questionable hygiene. Great show this year!
