 The '''2012 [[Annual Gathering of American Mensa]]''', "The End of Time AG", was held July 4-8, 2012 in [[wikipedia:Reno, Nevada|Reno]] Nevada. Ken Wright was the chairman. Attendance was 1843, making it the fifth best-attended AG at the time.
-The anchor hotels were the Silver Legacy and Circus Circus Reno.  These casino hotels are interconnected by a wide sky-bridge mezzanine level that blurs your awareness of where one property ends and the next begins.  A third hotel casino, The Eldorado, is also connected to the Silver Legacy by a sky-bridge mezzanine, thought the transition was architechually more clear.  The Eldorado was not used by the AG, though attendees did partake of the entertainment and food venues there.

 The hospitality and game/tournament room were in a separate building, 1/2 block away from the anchor hotel, but much farther from the event space inside the anchor hotels.  It was necessary to cross a few hundred feet of smoky casino floor and go outdoors to reach it.  The route included a sidewalk made from lumpy paver bricks - artful yes, but rough on folks in chairs, on crutches or just wearing heels.  The location of hospitality / games / tournaments was considered better than the prior year: an upholstered parking garage accessed by overly busy elevators (Portland) or "The Hospitality Suite at the End of the Universe" (Denver).  Hospitality food was catered by the Silver Legacy hotel and reported to be satisfactory: generally of high quantity and quality.  Gripes included a lack of vegetarian options, running out of turkey early in the Thanksgiving-themed dinner and the chocolate fountain malfunctioning during the chocolate buffet dessert Saturday night.
