E3 Locked into Los Angeles Through 2011 And Bring

With E3 now big again, and the show set to appear in LA for the next three years, it would appear that the LA Convention Center will see plenty of use, helping to drive the LA economy.

The Los Angeles Visitors Bureau today revealed that the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has actually agreed to use Los Angeles for its E3 event for the next three years. The recent expansion of E3 comes as great news to the city of LA, which is expecting the 2009 event (set for June 2-4) to account for more than 33,000 room nights and more than $18 million in economic impact for Los Angeles overall.
