Just to clear the rumors and state the FACTS!
BCAPL still has the same contract we had two years ago - we will be at the Riviera for 2011 & 2012. The dates in 2011 are May 13-21. (9-ball challenge starts couple days earlier).
We are discussing 2013.
The Riviera is not going anywhere. The Riviera is 'not that bad' - but the food and drink choices are a little weak.
These rumors happen every year.
Now you know the truth - lets see if that spreads as fast - LOL.

Do you know anything about the VNEA as asked by the OP?
Scott,
In the packet we received at registration this year at VNEA, there was a flyer that stated that the VNEA tournament was going to be held at Bally's 2011.

IbeAnEngineer...Well okay, but I'd get ready for long waits between match times, because there will be a LOT less tables than at the Riv. The Riv packs almost 100 tables into each room, and there certainly isn't a lot of room between tables. Ballys has only one room, and if it is bigger than the Riv's, it's not significantly bigger...so there will be far fewer tables available.

At the VNEA Hall of Fame meeting, I was chatting with Greg Elliot, and he was talking about the rooms at Bally's. I had already gotten most of the info. Bally's has 2 rooms, at 45,000 square feet each. They are right next to each other, instead of the long walk down the hall. The deal is signed. I went down there twice, and it's nicer than the Riv, and has a great looking pool. The Memorial day opening ceremonies, will be in the rear parking lot, which is almost identical to the Riv. For those who have not attended the VNEA, the opening ceremony, includes, Fireworks, flags being carried from all the countrie's participating, and singles awards. Trust me, it's much nicer to get to carry your trophy up on stage and get introduced in front of all the other players, than to just get your picture taken. Don't get me wrong, I am not taking a jab at anyone, I would go and stay for all the tournies if possible. They're all great events. And if you get a chance to play pool in Vegas, it just don't get much better.
