Party Room Policies

You may not charge an entry fee.

You may not sell anything in your room party.

Voluntary tip jars are allowed, but you cannot deny anyone access to the party if they don’t tip. No minimum tip requests or suggested donations.

Monetary amount (even if it’s just a suggestion) + item or service = commerce. This is not allowed.

All room party hosts and volunteers must be registered for Anime Detour. No exceptions.

While more than one host may be registered for a given room party, AT LEAST one of the hosts must be physically present, and responsible AT ALL TIMES during the party’s hours of operation.

Your party must welcome everyone wearing a current Ahegao Con badge.

Ahegao Con DOES NOT pay for your party room. All hosts are responsible for their own room costs and any fees they may incur.

All room parties must be open for a minimum of 12 hours total spread across Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday.

No room parties may be open before 5pm on Friday.

Barring emergencies, parties must be open for all of their stated hours. If there is an emergency and the party needs to open late or close early, the party hosts should contact staff.

You must post your party hours near your door, as a courtesy for our attendees so they know when you are open for partying!

All speakers must be inside the room.

In the event of noise or other complaints with regards to room parties they will first be handled by convention staff before being escalated to hotel staff if necessary.

No fog machines.

No dry ice.

No open flame.

Blue painter’s tape is the only acceptable tape to use. Do not use any other type of tape.

Do not cover or tamper with any thermostats, smoke detectors, or fire sprinklers.

You must check for a valid Ahegao Con badge before serving anyone. 

Serving alcohol to someone who is already visibly intoxicated is known as over-serving. Use your best judgment to avoid over-serving, you are responsible for your room party.

If it’s illegal outside the hotel, it’s illegal inside the hotel.

Our location is a non-smoking hotel. The smoking area is in front of the hotel, just outside the main lobby entrance.

For a fee, you can request the hotel to remove the bed from the room. This is $100 and can only be done for the poolside party rooms.

IF YOU BUY A BADGE AND YOU ARE NOT 21+ YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED INTO ANY AHEGAO CON EVENTS. IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT YOU CANNOT READ, YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

THIS IS A 21+ EVENT.
