We’re excited to announce the 2014 Las Vegas Open YoYo Championship, a new event that will be held in conjunction with SkillCon, a massive skill toy convention and competition to be held this December at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The Las Vegas Open is an IYYF-sanctioned event that will serve as the Multi-National event for North & South America, seeding to the final round of the 2015 World YoYo Contest in Tokyo, Japan.
The main competition will be held December 29th and 30th, and on December 31st we’ll be holding special workshops and best trick contests, ending with an all-night glow & light-up prop party to ring in the New Year!
SkillCon is an 8-day convention that will include the Las Vegas Open YoYo Championship, the 10th World Juggling Federation Championship, as well as an international flair bartending competition and a massive kendama event. Running from December 26th – January 2nd, SkillCon will have portions of the event filmed for broadcast on ESPN International, and we’re working to make sure the yoyo competition is part of that filming schedule!
The Las Vegas Open website is live, and you can follow the event on Facebook for fast updates.
