That’s the weird part. I doubt they’re using the space so this strikes me as “think of the money we’ll save on hours” bean counting

Companies/Vendors usually host corporate conferences around this time as well.

A large company has probably decided to move a conference to Caesar's during that period, and that got Defcon bumped. Especially because DefCon has become massive, so the RoI has shrunk due to staffing overhead.
