Perspective
In 2014, the Grand Sierra Resort's lower floor housed the convention.[1][5] The convention in 2015 moved to the Nugget Casino Resort, due to space change issues at the Grand Sierra.[4][10] Criticism about the 2015 masquerade was due to the long judging deliberations.[11] The convention moved back to the Grand Sierra Resort in 2018.[12] SNAFU Con 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13][14] In 2024, the convention moved to the Reno-Sparks Convention Center.[15]
