Sony Online Entertainment’s Fan Faire is at Bally’s in Las Vegas this year from June 25-28 and Raptr will be there! Sony Online Entertainment is responsible for games such as Everquest I & II, Free Realms, Star Wars Galaxies, and Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. SoE’s Fan Faire is where all fans can come together and enjoy everything Sony Online Entertainment. There will be gaming, announcements, panels, and much more!

Full list of sponsors and more information can be found at the Fan Faire website. Registration is closed but if you still want to go, walk-ins are welcome.

Yours truly will be manning the Raptr booth so if you’re going to be there, make sure to stop by and say “Hi”! Raptr will be giving away ten $50 Amazon gift cards and answering any and all questions you have. I will also be writing summaries and posting pictures for those of you that can’t make it. See you there!
