A bomb threat last year? Hmmm, I wonder why Caesars chose not to renew the contract.

Yeah, I think those things are more likely to be the issue. Tech people tend not to be shy with racking up huge bar tabs.

Unrelated to DEFCON, Caesars (and MGM) also got hit with ransomware.

I'm sure their insurers might not be too happy about them hosting hacker conventions these days.

They didn't choose to not renew a contract, they broke an existing contract. Big difference.
