Jim,
I received a fax as well, but mine says "Your Hostess Awaits Your Arrival". 
Forrest,
I guess I am just on the wrong list. I need to get on that Texas list.

Mickey1It looks like the real deal. Most of the major SCI exhibitors at a fraction of the price. Evidently they make there money by getting a percentage of the money raised for items sold.
It is being put together by former SCI Convention Director and employees and they are trying to fix all of the complaints about SCI. They have a pretty good website but I have lost the addy.
Time will tell if it works.

Global Sporting Expo This interests me because I love Las Vegas, and Reno doesn't appeal to me.

HunterJimSaeed,
Their press releases say they have the same silent and live auctions (only Sotheby's style) with the twist that buyers can specify the group that gets the benefit of their auction purchase (from a list they recognize).
The were to be in the Mandalay Bay Resort, but had a dust up with the group that owns MBR and were forced to move their show to the Venetian.
The tone of the web site is one of a high end only show.

SaeedYou mean no auctions to compete with the exhibitors?
No one is blackmailed to donate a free hunt?
Sounds great then!
