single elimination tournament to be crowned Las Vegas' Fastest
Gamer and win a grand prize package including an all-expenses-paid
Schmidt Peterson VIP experience package to the Indy 500.
“Holding Las Vegas’ fastest gamer at G2E will not only introduce
Gear.Club to a new audience, it will raise the excitement level at
the conference by providing a true automotive racing experience for
great prizes,” said Millennial Esports Executive Chairman, Alex
Igelman. “G2E is known across the globe as the world’s premiere
gaming tournament and we’re thrilled to be able to add value to the
attendees.”

Vegas’ Fastest Gamer contest will receive a 64 GB Razer mobile
phone, while the competitors with the eight fastest times will also
receive Gamevice controllers. The third place finisher will also
take home a Razer backpack, sweatshirt and hat, while the racer in
fourth place will also receive a Razer Backpack and hat.
The contest will be held on Tuesday October 9th
