Who's all going to Vegas for APA?

Let's try to meet up at some point.

Post up the event(s) you're playing in and where you're staying.

I'm in the Masters tournament but not sure where I'm staying yet. I want to ride my bike down so going to look for a place close to the event.

Members going:

I appreciate that Mark. Let's see how many people chime in and we'll see what we can come up with.

Coop1701 · Jul 2, 2019

I would love to meet up while I am there... I also really want to run by Griffs while I'm there. Staying from August 12th to the 18th. Really looking forward to it and if we can all meet up. That would be great.

RandyinHawaii · Jul 2, 2019

I will be there 8 - 14 Aug for the 8-ball team event.

Really excited as I have been trying to get qualified for 10 years and finally made it.

Aloha
Randy

I will be there Aug 11th through the 17th. I'm playing Masters (Newnan Squad), the girlfriend is on a captain's team. We are planning on heading to Griff's on the 11th, because we hope to be too busy playing all week

Staying at the Westgate.

What time do you plan on going to Griff's? I'm good with the 11th.

Most of the actual pool halls here in Denver have closed. There are still a couple, but none
that I frequent. Last year during the APA event I had a chance to visit Griffs. It was good
to spend some time in a real pool hall for a couple of hours. Excellent environment, nice
bar and staff, cold beer and that's important on hot Las Vegas nights.
I didn't get a chance to play but I enjoyed being there. It's not really walking distance, but a
short cab ride away.

Looking forward to it, the only "pool hall" in my town has crappy tables.

Are you going this year?

tucson9ball · Jul 3, 2019

My team is in the Masters Event. We usually cruise over to Griffs once or twice.

I'll be there

Chili Palmer · Jul 4, 2019

How about Griff's @ 9PM on the 11th? That's an hour after registration closes.

JessEm · Jul 4, 2019

Just FYI,

Uber (and possibly Lyft) is your money saving friend in Vegas.

jeremy8000 · Jul 4, 2019

I'll be out there 12th-15th, at Flamingo. Not in the tournament this year, but using the excuse of supporting some friends' teams to justify the trip (and taking the opportunity to get hands-on with some variety of the newer CF cues, and to possibly sell a cue or three...).

I want to find a Mezz Ignite Shaft. But I know that won't happen. I need to sell some cues myself. I'm really looking forward to this years event. Most of my team has never even went to Vegas. Much less for the APA stuff. Looking forward to showing them around.

Pretty sure they’re going to have at least some matches for Masters start that night after registration. Look at your paperwork.

I'll double check but I didn't see anything that stood out at me. Paperwork is at home, will check later.

Chili,
I will probably be there that afternoon. We have dinner reservations with some friends that night. I am in Master's, my girlfriend is in the Captain's event, so there's no telling when else that week I may have free, so we are planning on getting Griff's in early.

Went there this spring for the first time, a few days before the US Open 9-ball. It's now on my list of must-do's whenever we're in Vegas.

On another note, ya'll must have "league operators in high places". :wink:

I get into town on Saturday night. Start play Monday morning, 8am. I’m not sure I’m making it to Griffs on Sunday. I’ll be walking around with the black case with the reflective Canadian flag patch on it.
