Had an awesome time at the Derby last year! Took at tour with Greg. He is a fine host! Who is going in 2012? :thumbup:
2012 Derby
- Thread starter Palmetto cue
- Start date
Great! Glad to read at least two of you will be there. Have you got your rooms yet? My Wife booked our today.:thumbup:
Booked mine last night and it will be my first time going. Every year I planned to go and every year something happened to prevent me from being there. Granted one year my fiancee' planned on us going to Italy which I certainly can't complain about.
I promised myself last year come hell, or high water I was going to be there this year. As soon as I saw reservations were open I jumped at it.

We booked our room on Friday
Great! We'll be there the first four days. Hope to see ya!:thumbup:
I planned on going for the whole thing, as I get an extra week of vacation next year. However, my wife lost her job and I don't know if I am going to be able to make it at all. I am going to try.

You definitely want to stay at the casino if you can
This will be my first time going. Does the casino serve free breakfast? Do the rooms have mini-fridges? I basically plan on living there during the DCC and while I will eat there I wouldn't mind bringing some food with me as well. Just like cereal and milk for breakfast unless they serve breakfast for free.

Have any idea cost of the rooms?
Checkout http://www.dcctickets.com/ for all details
For 9 nights: "Price: $99.00/night. Additional $10 per room night per extra room occupant when more than 2 occupants. Deposit Refundable? No"
Individual nights: "Sun-Thu @ $126.00/night, Fri-Sat @ $146.00/night. Additional $10 per room night per extra room occupant when more than 2 occupants. Deposit Refundable? No"
Last year, I did not see a free breakfast nor expected to see one. This is a Casino not a Holiday Inn or Hampton, no disrespect intended. Keep in mind, this Casino is 15mins away from any another other restaurants/hotels. So your stuck there to eat what they sell unless you bring something with you. However, the standard rooms don't come with refrigerators. You can probably get one put in your room for $15 a day, but then you could spend that on breakfast. I did use the coffee maker to brew up some hot water for a couple instant soups when I didn't want a big buffet or spend $10 on a drink and a sandwich at their cafe near the lobby. Below is the standard items, which were in my room, but you can go to the hotel website to get this info or drop them a call.

NP. I've been there two years in a row for the banks event only. This year I'm on the fence with either going to the USBTC in Reno at the new venue/casino for all three events, haven't been there in three years, or going for the whole Derby event.
Cheers, Mark
