Sabakon™ is an annual 3-day pop culture convention dedicated to promoting the cultural and educational aspects of animation, gaming and innovation held on Labor Day weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. It is operated by Sabakon LLC and hundreds of other staffers and volunteers from Hansha Studios℠, an arts and crafts company; City of Virtue, a community oriented consulting and management c
ompany; and many other Las Vegas groups. Sabakon™ provides a unique and artistic medium for entertainment and creativity. It is a mecca for individual and collective expression, where attendees come to showcase their arts, costumes, game skills, inventions and more. While currently hosted at the Alexis Park Resort, in the past Sabakon™ has been held at other Las Vegas resort venues such as Texas Station in 2013 and Circus Circus in 2012 and 2011. The convention was founded in 2011 by Hansha Studios, originally named as Anime Day, a small fan based gathering of approximately 100 people for 1 day of family friendly fun activities. Today, Sabakon™ has grown to become one of the largest animation based convention in Nevada with thousands of attendees as of 2014, and a large exhibit hall featuring vendors and artists from all over the country.
