Minecon 2011!
It is set to be held at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on November 18th and 19th and will coincide with the launch of Minecraft’s full release. @Notch made it a point to emphasize that this will NOT be the end of development for the game, stating: Quote
We’ll just go back home and keep working on Minecraft directly after MineCon, but it does represent a huge milestone where the game finally leaves beta, something we’d never been able to do without our fans, so it feels natural to celebrate it with them.
Tickets are on sale now! The early bird special has tickets costing $99 until September 30, with the regular price and onsite ticket prices set at $139.

There's some things money can't buy. For everything else there's Mastercard. -- hehe I had to.
Mind you the above prices are based on 1 week in Las Vegas, because lets face it if your going to Las Vegas, what's the point in only going for one weekend?
