Excluding room and con badge I spent slightly north of 1500$, that included some nice merch (few tees, enamel pins, badges, wall scrolls, bronze cast nsfw twi, blue fast studios derp figurine, misc merch), food/drink, misc stuff from walgreens, chipping in on ubers with frens. Could have done it cheaper but its a fucking vacation to the states so I didn't really care.
Number one thing I'd recommend for saving cash is rooming with anons, I thought it'd be pretty daunting but ended up sleeping on the floor with a lifesize atop me on my first night (thanks for helping me out anons). Now I know people I'd share my room no hesitation, these anons are the kind of people who'd hand you back the 200$ you dropped while walking through the lobby.
