CDC Gaming, the premier source of news, commentary and analysis for the gaming industry in the Americas and sister company to Inside Asian Gaming, has announced a revamped, reimagined and refreshed Day Zero Party ahead of this year’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E), to be held at Allē Lounge on 66 at Resorts World Las Vegas on the evening of Sunday 5 October 2025.
Held annually since 2017, but rebranded for this year’s event, the Day Zero Party is CDC Gaming’s annual pre-G2E media and industry get-together and this year moves to the heart of the North Las Vegas Strip – part of the company’s plans to enhance its events offering for 2025 and beyond. This move was made possible by the generous support of our friends at Resorts World Las Vegas, who are the Venue Sponsor for this year’s Day Zero Party.
The event will also honor the “10 Women Rising in Gaming: Class of 2025” – an initiative by CDC Gaming and Global Gaming Women (GGW) recognizing the achievements of women in the gaming industry. This is the second consecutive year CDC Gaming and GGW have partnered for this initiative at the Day Zero Party.
With expansive views of the dazzling Las Vegas Strip, Allē Lounge on 66 features a stunning space 66 floors above the neon lights. The lounge showcases an exceptional collection of fine and rare spirits, handcrafted cocktails and globally inspired small plates.
The Day Zero Party kicks off at 6pm and is by invitation only.
“We are delighted to welcome guests to CDC Gaming’s Day Zero Party,” said Carlos Castro, President and Chief Financial Officer of Resorts World Las Vegas. “This event will kick off what promises to be an exciting week for the industry, and Allē Lounge on 66’s blend of energy, elegance and panoramic views make it an ideal setting for meaningful connections. We look forward to an evening of celebration, collaboration and community.”
Cory Roberts, Publisher of CDC Gaming, added, “CDC Gaming is thrilled to be launching our rebranded Day Zero Party at Resorts World Las Vegas as we raise the bar for this sought-after pre-G2E event. We also look forward to welcoming Global Gaming Women and each of the ’10 Women Rising in Gaming: Class of 2025’ for our fourth year of honoring the achievements of women changing the industry today — and tomorrow.
“This year’s Day Zero Party is our first event since merging with Inside Asian Gaming and we can’t wait to showcase what our newly expanded but still very regional company can do, especially when we have great partners like the team at Resorts World Las Vegas. We look forward to introducing many more exciting new industry initiatives in the coming years. Stay tuned!”
