Went for Thriftcon this year and had a blast! Well organized and very friendly venue staff. Especially when it came to parking, our lot attendant was a lifesaver!

Will be returning for future events here! As a gig worker, I got to go a bit behind the scenes of Brick Fest Live. (Meant to post this review when you were here!) One of the coolest art exhibition events I've ever seen or worked for (MeowWolf being another). Let the images speak for themselves, on the genuine efforts of creative innovation! As this was hosted at the national western complex, I appreciate the event center for allowing that to occur. As a worker and as a genuine LEGO enthusiast, this was just so much fun that it's really an insult to call it a "job" and really a whole experience of happiness!!! After event, it's clear that OPS knows how handle cleanup and takedown/breakdown of property, which my background in inventory management jobs REALLY vibes with! So on the logistics side, event staff for Brick Fest and the event center have great leadership teams, that give a great experience to the consumer side of this. Working in the most productive way possible from what I witnessed. Balance of that is hard, and I've seen that at somewhere like MeowWolf where OPS stress the workers and workers make the event or sensory experience less enjoyable to the people spending money and going with family, to enjoy! ***All pictures are an example of what was at the event.***

Saw monster trucks. They need more space. But the National Western Complex is good for all kinds of events. Was a little tough finding seats in the arena. Once you are above the seats, it's difficult to see the empty ones below when it's busy. Get there early. And dress for the weather. It's not heated or AC

Nice venue. Coin Show allowed free parking. Upkeep could use some attention.

Great venue for the Rocky Mountain train show. Large spaces, abundant parking, adequate facilities and plenty of food opportunities (yes, little pricey BUT it is very convenient. ) Overall a great event space - and a fantastic model train show!
