Furry Legends of Paradise (FLoP) operates on a full hotel-buyout model at The Retreat on Charleston Peak in Mt. Charleston, Nevada, near Las Vegas. Entry is typically free, with costs subsidized by attendees booking on-site rooms, making it a social-focused retreat rather than a traditional panel-driven convention.
For its upcoming February 6-8, 2026 gathering, FLoP takes over The Retreat on Charleston Peak in the Mt. Charleston area, an elevated location outside Las Vegas.
Because the organizers rent the entire resort, the event operates as a private gathering. Entry to the event itself is typically free, with costs subsidized by attendees booking hotel rooms within the block.
FLoP operates as a social retreat. There is no rigid scheduling or dealer's den. Instead, the event features DJ performances, room parties, and a close-knit atmosphere at a private ski-lodge resort. The convention has two mascots: John Flop, a beaver named after Beaver, Utah (the host town of the inaugural 2023 gathering), and Floppy, a Lahontan cutthroat trout, Nevada's official state fish.
FLoP Vegas events are all-ages in the dealers den, but hotel corridors are 18+ and you must be 21+ to book or check into a room. Non-Vegas FLoP gatherings have a flat 18+ minimum.
Standard attendance is free. The Sponsor tier ($50) and Super Sponsor tier ($100) include perks; Super Sponsors get to choose items from previous FLoP events as merch.
Curated stays near The Retreat at Mount Charleston, Mt Charleston, United States.
Fly into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas. The Retreat on Charleston Peak is roughly 45 minutes northwest of the Strip via Kyle Canyon Road. There is no public transit to Mt. Charleston, so you will need a car. Rental agencies operate out of LAS, or you can arrange a rideshare from the city. The drive climbs from desert floor to over 7,000 feet of elevation, so check road conditions in winter.
FLoP operates on a full hotel buyout of The Retreat on Charleston Peak (2755 Kyle Canyon Rd, Mt Charleston, NV 89124). All rooms include $150 in restaurant credit. Rates for the two-night stay range from $500 for a Standard King to $800 for a King Suite. A $100 deposit secures a room before the full payment deadline. Because the organizers rent the entire property, there are no overflow or partner hotels.
FLoP has held six confirmed gatherings across Nevada and Utah since 2023, each using the same full hotel-buyout model.
The first FLoP took place in Beaver, Utah, drawing roughly 100 attendees across more than 30 booked rooms. The event established the buyout model that would define every subsequent gathering.
FLoP ran two gatherings in 2024. The spring event at Mt Charleston grew the attendance to over 200. The Summer 2024 gathering moved to the Comfort Inn Saint George North in St. George, Utah (near Zion), on August 2-4, 2024, and sold out more than a month in advance.
FLoP Vegas 2025 ran March 14-16 at The Retreat at Mount Charleston with 250+ attendees and 10 dealers; the mountain snowed in during the weekend. The same year saw FLoP Utah 2025 and FLoP Clown 2025, the latter held in Tonopah, Nevada.
The upcoming February 6-8, 2026 edition returns to The Retreat at Mount Charleston with $500-$800 two-night room packages and the same free-entry, buyout model.
