I've booked my flights and hotel for DCC this year. I'll be there for a few days (staying at the horseshoe) and I've entered the 9-ball event. What should I know, as a first-time visitor, spectator, and competitor? Who else is going? What's the best way to get from the airport to the casino...

Some things have changed, probably. It used to be that the "action room" (about 10 tables) was rarely used for tournament matches. Has that changed? And the last time I went the Horseshoe was in the middle of remodeling and restaurants were very limited. Has the food situation improved? My last time: no buffet -- not entirely safe anyway -- and no ice cream place. The Horseshoe's website implies that there are two places to eat -- a medium-level cafe/restaurant and a four-option food court.
I would not go without a vehicle, but I don't watch pool for 16 hours a day anymore. For the same reason, I wouldn't stay at the Horseshoe's hotel even though it's 10 minutes from the action. The last two or three times I went to DCC the hotels I happened to stay at in New Albany were being renovated. Hopefully they are done with that by now.
If you have a car, Louisville is possible for dinner, but New Albany is fine and closer.
