BravoCon 2023 Heads to Las Vegas! Everything to Know About the Ultimate Bravo Fan Convention
Bravo is betting big on BravoCon this November!
The network is taking its popular fan convention to Sin City for its 2023 edition, hosting a sea of Bravo superfans and Bravolebrities in Las Vegas from Nov. 3-5.
This will be the first time BravoCon has moved outside New York City. The inaugural version was held in November 2019 across multiple venues in the Big Apple, while the 2022 installment — held in October — took place at the Javits Center.
News of the move was announced by the network back in April. In a video shared by Bravo, Andy Cohen shared his excitement for the third-annual event. “Bravoholics, you’ve hit the jackpot!” he began. “For the first time ever, Bravocon is headed to Las Vegas in 2023! And what happens at Bravocon, stays at Bravocon.”
Referencing a quote from Vandepump Rules’ Sheana Shay, Cohen added: “It really is all happening!”
Here’s everything you need to know about it:
WHERE IS IT BEING HELD?Caesars Forum (3911 S. Koval Ln., Las Vegas, NV 89109) will serve as the epicenter for the ultra-exclusive weekend, though a secondary series of activities are taking place at the Paris Theater (3655 S. Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89109).
WHERE’S EVERYBODY STAYING? Fans were able to book rooms with the convention’s official hotels partners — Caesars Palace, Harrah’s and The Linq — to receive the best available rates, discounted resort fees and more.
