Back to the "topic"... Do ya'll think you would be able to find me if I walked around with my name tag on my forehead??
I think a Tattoo across your forehead would be a little bit more visible.

I knew you were joking. There was another thread where I was picking on two people for their topic of conversation (it wasn't a pretty read after having just eaten dinner) I told them we should treat the forum like the FCC does tv... I was being facetious.Jimmy M. said:
Always take me with a grain of salt... I'm just here to have fun & laugh.
Jimmy M. said:I won't be able to attend. Not that anyone really gives a shit, but I thought I'd say it anyway!
We aren't getting there until early that evening.
I'll still be there by then Jimmy, not that you prob give a sh*t lol

Hi Watchez,
The RIV buffet can be good and bad. Depends on what time of the night you get there at. If you get there more towards the time they change from dinner to the midnight special, you have a better chance of a better meal. On nights when they have prime rib and seafood buffets, it's always left over from one the evening dinner, you just have to get there early. Midnight is usually a pretty safe time.
What is problematic for the players in the past, is that they play till all hours of the night and this can mean that the "better" restaurants are not open. This leaves the RIV buffet, The Peppermill (expensive and next door to the RIV) and several fast food which are way over priced. I totally agree with you to go other places, but other places are sometimes not available at the times you have to eat.
I would not consider the RIV a dump, it certainly is not Paris or any other of the big hotel/casino's. There are many other places including Circus Circus,The Stardust that and Westward Ho that are pits next to the RIV.
I have found a good deal of the employees to be kind. I think that they treat you as you treat them. There are several cocktail waitresses around the Splash Bar that have been there for years that include Linda who is a doll. At the AZBilliards Party, I will let everyone know who the best employees are. I will agree with you that I have heard that the employees are rude and so forth, I personally have not experienced it. Bob and I have been going to the RIV for over 15 years now and consider a lot of the employees friends and family.
And yes, you are so correct regarding the check in. It is a nightmare. I did omit discussing it because I felt that it might be better this year since there is not the mass number of players there has been in the past. Bob and I usually fly in a day or so earlier just to avoid the line. It gives us time to regroup and play the machines before they go on tilt.
There are several places to play pool including besides the RIV. Their names escape me at this time but I will post them or someone else can post as soon as possible.
As far as poker low limit goes, I have heard that Circus Circus is the best place for that. It is located directly off the front lobby of the casino.
With the new ownership of the BCA it is important that we support the league system and by doing that, it is important to support the RIV. This goes for people attending the APA in August and The ACS next year.
Good luck to all!

Hi Wonderer,
I would advise you to stick to the two main rooms in Vegas. The Las Vegas Cue Club has a shuttle that runs hourly to and from the Riviera. Its the easiest to get to. I also recommend Pool Sharks. The Cue Club is located on East Sahara about a mile from the Riv. Pool Sharks is on Decatur just South of Spring Mountain Road, about five miles away. If you need exact directions, just ask!

Hey Lyn,
Cue Club was the Hall I was trying to remember. I am looking forward to seeing you, loads to tell you!
The Las Vegas Cue Club has plenty of ACTION, it is non stop during BCA and Valley. I think that there is another place called Sharkies? Maybe I have it confused with Pool Sharks. You will find a boat load of good players there that include Trick Sixty and others....

We will be at the Cue Club most of the time if anyone is looking for some one pocket action.
Jimmy We still want you to stop by the Fury Booth when you can, even if you can't make it to the Splash Bar and FX I think we can handle the fury booth being AZB headquarters. The more the more fun we will have. Looking forward to it.

Where is this "SPLASH BAR"? What Casino? - At the Riviera?
Is Cue Club gunna have thier Tues. Night Tourney? ( think its $15.00 entry - splash and cash 9Ball).
I would have liked to have meet everyone there but I'm home now. Only went for 4 days as I'm a single dad. It was fun though. BCA did a great job this year I'm sure everyone will agree. Maybe next year I'll be able to stay longer.KBP said:

The Splash bar is in the Riviera. You will find it in the middle of the main room. Kind of like a rectangular bar. Ask anyone in the Riv. Good luck finding it and have a great time.
