{{Las Vegas Fur Con}}
'''Las Vegas Fur Con''' ('''LVFC''') is an annual American [[furry convention]].

== Overview ==

LVFC is run by a convention committee under [[Southern_Nevada_Anthropomorphic_Events|Southern Nevada Anthropomorphic Events]], a [[non-profit organization]] incorporated in June 2022. LVFC typically falls on Easter weekend at the [https://www.alexispark.com Alexis Park Resort]. The convention chair and vice chairs are chosen by the SNAE board of directors. As of June 2026, the Convention Chairman is TaniCoyote. The Vice Chairs are [[Dirdwolf|Dirdwolf]] and Sadie.

== History ==

Las Vegas Fur Con grew from the [[Rebel Anthropomorphic Works and Recreation]] ('''RAWR''') [[furry club]] on the [[University of Nevada]], Las Vegas ('''UNLV''') campus. Chaired by [[Addy Acro-Santos]] for 2023, the [[convention]] gradually recruited more [[staff]] from Las Vegas and the broader [[furry community]].

The first iteration occurred on April 14-16, 2023, at the Alexis Park Resort and was intended to be an all-ages event. Venue considerations forced the convention to operate as an 18+ event. As a result, LVFC struggled to disassociate with [[Sin City Murr Con]], which was advertised as a sex focused convention in contrast to LVFC's more traditional approach to convention operations. To ease restrictions and improve the relationship with the Alexis Park, LVFC negotiated a complete buyout out on Friday and Saturday, ensuring only [[furries]] were on-site. During the buyout, LVFC utilized the Alexis Park rooftop, the site of a 21+ party both nights. The success of the buyout and the rooftop events were a factor in considering a 21+ policy for 2024.

After the conclusion of [[Las_Vegas_Fur_Con_2023|LVFC 2023]], the SNAE board of directors voted to indefinitely turn LVFC into a 21+ event, hoping to reduce random ID checks at the Alexis Park and improve negotiations with future venues. The convention also extended it's buyout of the Alexis Park to Sunday, ensuring only [[fur]]s would be on-site for three days of the event. The decision to make LVFC a 21+ convention was overwhelmingly positive, and allowed for more autonomy with it's [[Party Block|Party Block]] ('''Block 26''') and rooftop dance. By late August of 2024, LVFC sold all 496 rooms at the Alexis Park, forcing the need for two overflow hotels. The Serene Boutique located directly east of the Alexis Park and the Embassy Suites northeast of the Alexis Park on Paradise Road were added as official overflow venues.

In late 2024, [[DiviTheWolf]] was onboarded as staff to manage '''Block 26''' after the collapse of [[Party Animals West]] following [[Frisky Hyena]]s arrest. Prior to LVFC 2025, the party block was managed by Party Animals West and remained somewhat autonomous from LVFC. Because of this, registration requirements were not enforced within Block26 prior to 2025. In 2026, a registration requirement was implemented within all convention spaces, including the Alexis Park, all overflow hotels, and Block26.

On December 2nd 2025, LVFC announced it would no longer be able to utilize the rooftop stage due to structural issues. <ref>[https://bsky.app/profile/lasvegasfurcon.org/post/3m6zgjtzte22g/ LVFC Rooftop Closure Announcement], retrieved June 17, 2026.</ref> The closure of the rooftop pushed LVFC to create an event called [[GROWL Las Vegas|GROWL]], held at Piranha Nightclub, one block southeast of the Alexis Park Resort.

== Mascots ==

The con's four [[mascot]]s are '''Ace''' the [[coyote]], Kingsley the [[sheep|bighorn sheep]], '''Queen Sierra''' the [[cougar|mountain puma]], and '''Jackpot''' the [[jackrabbit]]. Each represents a [[W:Playing card suit|playing card suit]] and different aspects of the diverse [[furry community]].<ref>[https://www.lasvegasfurcon.org/mascots/ Mascots], retrieved December 12, 2022.</ref>

'''Las Vegas Fur Con''' ('''LVFC''') is an annual American [[furry convention]].

== Overview ==

LVFC is run by a convention committee under [[Southern_Nevada_Anthropomorphic_Events|Southern Nevada Anthropomorphic Events]], a [[non-profit organization]] incorporated in June 2022. LVFC typically falls on Easter weekend at the [https://www.alexispark.com Alexis Park Resort]. The convention chair and vice chairs are chosen by the SNAE board of directors. As of June 2026, the Convention Chairman is TaniCoyote. The Vice Chairs are [[Dirdwolf|Dirdwolf]] and Sadie.

== History ==

Las Vegas Fur Con grew from the [[Rebel Anthropomorphic Works and Recreation]] ('''RAWR''') [[furry club]] on the [[University of Nevada]], Las Vegas ('''UNLV''') campus. Chaired by [[Addy Acro-Santos]] for 2023, the [[convention]] gradually recruited more [[staff]] from Las Vegas and the broader [[furry community]].

The first iteration occurred on April 14-16, 2023, at the Alexis Park Resort and was intended to be an all-ages event. Venue considerations forced the convention to operate as an 18+ event. As a result, LVFC struggled to disassociate with [[Sin City Murr Con]], which was advertised as a sex focused convention in contrast to LVFC's more traditional approach to convention operations. To ease restrictions and improve the relationship with the Alexis Park, LVFC negotiated a complete buyout out on Friday and Saturday, ensuring only [[furries]] were on-site. During the buyout, LVFC utilized the Alexis Park rooftop, the site of a 21+ party both nights. The success of the buyout and the rooftop events were a factor in considering a 21+ policy for 2024.

After the conclusion of [[Las_Vegas_Fur_Con_2023|LVFC 2023]], the SNAE board of directors voted to indefinitely turn LVFC into a 21+ event, hoping to reduce random ID checks at the Alexis Park and improve negotiations with future venues. The convention also extended it's buyout of the Alexis Park to Sunday, ensuring only [[fur]]s would be on-site for three days of the event. The decision to make LVFC a 21+ convention was overwhelmingly positive, and allowed for more autonomy with it's [[Party Block|Party Block]] ('''Block 26''') and rooftop dance. By late August of 2024, LVFC sold all 496 rooms at the Alexis Park, forcing the need for two overflow hotels. The Serene Boutique located directly east of the Alexis Park and the Embassy Suites northeast of the Alexis Park on Paradise Road were added as official overflow venues.

In late 2024, [[DiviTheWolf]] was onboarded as staff to manage '''Block 26''' after the collapse of [[Party Animals West]] following [[Frisky Hyena]]s arrest. Prior to LVFC 2025, the party block was managed by Party Animals West and remained somewhat autonomous from LVFC. Because of this, registration requirements were not enforced within Block26 prior to 2025. In 2026, a registration requirement was implemented within all convention spaces, including the Alexis Park, all overflow hotels, and Block26.

On December 2nd 2025, LVFC announced it would no longer be able to utilize the rooftop stage due to structural issues. <ref>[https://bsky.app/profile/lasvegasfurcon.org/post/3m6zgjtzte22g/ LVFC Rooftop Closure Announcement], retrieved June 17, 2026.</ref> The closure of the rooftop pushed LVFC to create an event called [[GROWL Las Vegas|GROWL]], held at Piranha Nightclub, one block southeast of the Alexis Park Resort.

== Mascots ==

The con's four [[mascot]]s are '''Ace''' the [[coyote]], Kingsley the [[sheep|bighorn sheep]], '''Queen Sierra''' the [[cougar|mountain puma]], and '''Jackpot''' the [[jackrabbit]].

'''Las Vegas Fur Con''' ('''LVFC''') is an annual American [[furry convention]].

== Overview ==

LVFC is run by a convention committee under [[Southern_Nevada_Anthropomorphic_Events|Southern Nevada Anthropomorphic Events]], a [[non-profit organization]] incorporated in June 2022. The convention chair and vice chairs are chosen by the SNAE board of directors. As of June 2026, the Convention Chairman is TaniCoyote. The Vice Chairs are [[Dirdwolf|Dirdwolf]] and Sadie.

== History ==

Las Vegas Fur Con grew from the [[Rebel Anthropomorphic Works and Recreation]] ('''RAWR''') [[furry club]] on the [[University of Nevada]], Las Vegas ('''UNLV''') campus. Chaired by [[Addy Acro-Santos]] for 2023, the [[convention]] gradually recruited more [[staff]] from Las Vegas and the broader [[furry community]].

The first iteration occurred on April 14-16, 2023, at the [https://www.alexispark.com Alexis Park Hotel].

The 2023 event was intended to be an all-ages event, but venue considerations forced the convention to operate as an 18+ event. As a result, LVFC struggled to disassociate with [[Sin City Murr Con]], which was advertised as a sex focused convention in contrast to LVFC's more traditional approach to convention operations.

To ease restrictions and improve relationships with the Alexis Park, LVFC negotiated a complete buyout out on Friday and Saturday in 2023, ensuring only [[furries]] were on-site. During the buyout, LVFC utilized the Alexis Park rooftop, the site of a 21+ party both nights. The success of the buyout and the rooftop events were a factor in considering a 21+ policy for 2024.

After the conclusion of [[Las_Vegas_Fur_Con_2023|LVFC 2023]], the SNAE board of directors voted to indefinitely turn LVFC into a 21+ event, hoping to reduce random ID checks at the Alexis Park and improve negotiations with future venues. The convention also extended it's buyout of the Alexis Park to Sunday, ensuring only [[fur]]s would be on-site for three days of the event. The decision to make LVFC a 21+ convention was overwhelmingly positive, and allowed for more autonomy with it's [[Party Block]] ('''Block 26'''). By late August of 2024, LVFC sold all 496 rooms at the Alexis Park, forcing the need for two overflow hotels. The Serene Boutique located directly east of the Alexis Park and the Embassy Suites northeast of the Alexis Park on Paradise Road.

In 2023 [[Tani Coyote]] and Addy Acro-Santos served as LVFC [[co-Chair]]s. In August of 2024, TaniCoyote was named convention chair, while Addy served on the SNAE board of Directors as a Class 1 director. On September 8th, 2024, [[Dirdwolf]] and Sadie were appointed as vice-chairs of LVFC. <ref>[https://snvanthroevents.org/minutes/2024/10/regular-meeting-september-8th-2024/ Regular Meeting: September 8th, 2024]SNV Anthro Events Meeting of Minutes.

'''Las Vegas Fur Con''' ('''LVFC''') is an annual American [[furry convention]].

== Overview ==

LVFC is run by a convention committee under [[Southern_Nevada_Anthropomorphic_Events|Southern Nevada Anthropomorphic Events]], a [[non-profit organization]] incorporated in June 2022. The convention chair and vice chairs are chosen by the SNAE board of directors. As of June 2026, the Convention Chairman is TaniCoyote. The Vice Chairs are [[Dirdwolf|Dirdwolf]] and Sadie.

== History ==

Las Vegas Fur Con grew out of the [[Rebel Anthropomorphic Works and Recreation]] ('''RAWR''') [[furry club]] on the [[University of Nevada]], Las Vegas ('''UNLV''') campus. Chaired by [[Addy Acro-Santos]] for 2023, the [[convention]] gradually recruited more [[staff]] from Las Vegas and the broader [[furry community]].

The first iteration occurred on April 14-16, 2023, at the [https://www.alexispark.com Alexis Park Hotel].

The 2023 event was intended to be an all-ages event, but venue considerations forced the convention to operate as an 18+ event. As a result, LVFC struggled to disassociate with [[Sin City Murr Con]], which was advertised as a sex focused convention in contrast to LVFC's more traditional approach to convention operations.

To ease restrictions and improve relationships with the Alexis Park, LVFC negotiated a complete buyout out on Friday and Saturday in 2023, ensuring only [[furries]] were on-site. During the buyout, LVFC utilized the Alexis Park rooftop, the site of a 21+ party both nights. The success of the buyout and the rooftop events were a factor in considering a 21+ policy for 2024.

After the conclusion of [[Las_Vegas_Fur_Con_2023|LVFC 2023]], the SNAE board of directors voted to indefinitely turn LVFC into a 21+ event, hoping to reduce random ID checks at the Alexis Park and improve negotiations with future venues. The convention also extended it's buyout of the Alexis Park to Sunday, ensuring only [[fur]]s would be on-site for three days of the event. The decision to make LVFC a 21+ convention was overwhelmingly positive, and allowed for more autonomy with it's [[Party Block]] (Block 26). By late August of 2024, LVFC sold all 496 rooms at the Alexis Park, forcing the need for two overflow hotels. The Serene Boutique located directly east of the Alexis Park and the Embassy Suites northeast of the Alexis Park on Paradise Road.

In 2023 [[Tani Coyote]] and Addy Acro-Santos served as LVFC [[co-Chair]]s. In August of 2024, TaniCoyote was named convention chair, while Addy served on the SNAE board of Directors as a Class 1 director. On September 8th, 2024, [[Dirdwolf]] and Sadie were appointed as vice-chairs of LVFC. <ref>[https://snvanthroevents.org/minutes/2024/10/regular-meeting-september-8th-2024/ Regular Meeting: September 8th, 2024]SNV Anthro Events Meeting of Minutes.

'''Las Vegas Fur Con''' ('''LVFC''') is an annual American [[furry convention]].

== Overview ==

LVFC is run by a convention committee under [[Southern_Nevada_Anthropomorphic_Events|Southern Nevada Anthropomorphic Events]], a [[non-profit organization]] incorporated in June 2022. The convention chair and vice chairs are chosen by the SNAE board of directors. As of June 2026, the Convention Chairman is TaniCoyote. The Vice Chairs are [[Dirdwolf|Dirdwolf]] and Sadie.

== History ==

Las Vegas Fur Con grew out of the [[Rebel Anthropomorphic Works and Recreation]] ('''RAWR''') [[furry club]] on the [[University of Nevada]], Las Vegas ('''UNLV''') campus. Chaired by [[Addy Acro-Santos]] for 2023, the [[convention]] gradually recruited more [[staff]] from Las Vegas and the broader [[furry community]].

The first iteration occurred on April 14-16, 2023, at the [https://www.alexispark.com Alexis Park Hotel].

The 2023 event was intended to be [[all-ages]] event, but venue considerations made the convention turn [[18+]] for year one. As a result, LVFC had to struggle with the idea that it was the second year of [[Sin City Murr Con]], and with the idea being 18+ would mean the con was meant to be overly [[sex]]ual.

One of 2023's noticeable features was the hotel being bought out on Friday and Saturday, ensuring only [[furries]] were on-site. These days, the convention also rented the hotel rooftop, the site of a 21+ party both nights.

After year one's completion, LVFC decided to experiment with being [[21+]] for 2024, hoping to reduce [[ID check]]s at its current venue and improve negotiations with future venues. The convention also bought out Sunday, ensuring only [[fur]]s would be on-site for three days straight.

Initially, [[Tani Coyote]] and Addy Acro-Santos served as [[co-Chair]]s, but in August of 2024, Tani took over as full Chair. Unlike in 2023, for 2024, the convention sold out all 496 rooms of the Alexis Park by late August, forcing the need for overflow hotels.

'''Las Vegas Fur Con''' (LVFC) is a furry [[convention]] taking place in [[Wikipedia:Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], [[Wikipedia:Nevada|Nevada]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]]. The first iteration occurred on April 14-16, 2023 at the [https://www.alexispark.com Alexis Park Hotel].

It is run by [[Southern Nevada Anthropomorphic Events]] (SNV Anthro Events), a non-profit organization incorporated in June 2022.

== History ==

Las Vegas Fur Con (LVFC) grew out of the Rebel Anthropomorphic Works and Recreation (RAWR) club on the University of Nevada - Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. Chaired by Addy Acro-Santos for 2023, the convention gradually recruited more staff from Las Vegas and the broader furry community. The 2023 event was intended to be all-ages, but venue considerations made the convention turn 18+ for year one. As a result, LVFC had to struggle with the idea it was the second year of Sin City Murr Con, and with the idea being 18+ would mean the con was meant to be overly sexual.

One of 2023's noticeable features was the hotel being bought out on Friday and Saturday, ensuring only furries were on-site. These days, the convention also rented the hotel rooftop, which was the site of a 21+ party both nights.

After year one's completion, LVFC decided to experiment with being 21+ for 2024, hoping to reduce ID checks at its current venue and improve negotiations with future venues. The convention also bought out Sunday, ensuring only furs would be on-site for three days straight. Initially, Tani Coyote and Addy Acro-Santos served as co-Chairs, but in August of 2024, Tani took over as full Chair. Unlike for 2023, for 2024 the convention sold out all 496 rooms of the Alexis Park by late August, forcing the need for overflow hotels.
