I don't understand the thought process of Matchroom Sports scheduling the Mosconi Cup for Thanksgiving week, with the final day being on Thanksgiving Day. Seems like the Mosconi Cup has always been played the first week of December, at least in recent years. I wonder if it had to do with a scheduling conflict with the venue? I don't think this will be good for their viewership going up directly against NFL football, not to mention traveling, Thanksgiving dinner and family get-togethers for many of us.What are your thoughts as to the timing of next year's Cup? I'm still considering attending but the Thanksgiving timing may be a road block although the wife may be into and she's not even a pool fan, just over hosting 20 people on Turkey Day.

2019 Mosconi Cup at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas!Where will the location for the Cup be and what is the ticket price?
In London the VIP package included dinner each night which was a pretty good buffet. Each table had a couple bottles of wine and a cooler of beer. The food court and the pub at the venue were OK but if I had known about the nightly dinner I would have sprung for the VIP package. I got in the first night on a friend's spare ticket....VIP Platinum packages include seating within the front three rows, a traditional breakfast buffet, unlimited beverages, a meet and greet with players and much more.
Per Session: $255
Season ticket: $950
That confirms what I had speculated was the likely reason - thanks.Emily Frazer
COO, of Matchroom Multi Sport said in a interview after the event the only 2019 dates that were available at Mandalay Bay were Thanksgiving week and they had no other choice.
I doubt that the preceding Sunday will be bad, and I don't think that many will be flying on Black Friday except through the aisles of stores. I think one of the best days to fly is Thanksgiving in case you leave right after the matches -- everyone else will be doing turkey.Flights are gonna be a nightmare that week....worst week of the year to fly in the US, so I've been told
Off season. The hotels are already booking for then. Mandalay Bay claims to be sold out, but the hotels/motels along Tropicana are coming in at $140 to $275 for four nights before tax and the extra-special customer dissatisfaction fees. The Day's Inn on Tropicana is $231 total for four nights all fees and taxes included and with free cancellation. The same at the Tropicana is $526 but cheaper if non-refundable. That was through booking.com but there may be cheaper sites such as the hotel site itself.So, because it's Thanksgiving week, am I right in thinking flights and hotel are gonna cost more?
