I just read an article about all the problems Atlantic City has to deal with now. Casinos are popping up everywhere causing destinations like Las Vegas to "reinvent" themselves as something more than just gambling.
With all the pool tournaments that happen in Las Vegas around this time, I have to wonder why events on such a level aren't done in the Atlantic City casinos. Please understand, I'm not saying they should move any of the league championships (ie., BCA) to the eastcoast or anything. I'm just wondering why Atlantic City isn't used to host more events. Wouldn't it be amazing to have the greatest pool tournament in the world twice a year?
I think the pool community has proven itself to be an asset to these casinos and if Atlantic City is set on its "reinvention", wouldn't it be in our interest to explore possible venues there for large-scale amateur events? I know as an eastcoaster, the northeast turn-out could be amazing. I think I'm probably missing some big problem here so if you think it's a horrible idea, please explain why.
