Defcon is cheap to attend. You should go sometime and get a feel for the event. If a trip to Vegas is out of your price range, go check visit Hot Topic. You'll get the proper feel.

The Defcon crowd is awfully touristy. I mean that professionally.

In fact, it's far more the marketing success of defcon that should get attention from hacker news. They have been building quite an empire over the last 19 years.
