I have a newbie question. How to obtain a FR if you never had one and there are no Fargo reported tournaments near me, and the ones that within reasonable distance require 200+ robustness?

Where is near you?

Enter Open events or play in the highest division available in tournaments until you get established.

Thanks for the great thread. I bought a "Grady Seasons" cue new back in the early 90s and didn't even know it. Grey stain and all. Also just picked up my son's first cue a D1 from being refinished at McDermott on Friday. I asked him to pass it on to his kids, as it's a 56" cue. Not cheap but so glad I did it. McD does really nice work.

That's why you are in the "Middle of Nowhere".! We made money for 25 years on a great product for training.

I've been a handful of times. Can't give much more insight than what has already been recommended. I'd take a walk around or through the Venetian. Maybe the ladies would like a ride on the Ferris wheel, or watch the fountain at the Bellagio. I've been to The Sphere a few times and it is fantastic. Here's a pic with U2 on stage and the Ferris wheel in the background. Cirque du Soleil shows are usually good, I've seen a couple.

Really nice vintage viking for sale
