I was drinking beer at 8am in Vegas. We got to the bar around midnight and there were still 10 of us there at 8.... I'd do it over again in a heartbeat...if they're serving 24 hrs at the DCC then I just might do it all over again.

T,
Did you mean do it all over again, or spew it all over again? If you can drink for 8 hours solid, you must have a cast iron stomach (with a liver headed in that direction).

LOL, no spewing. I wasn't guzzling the drinks but I had a drink in my hand the whole time.Williebetmore said:
Actually, I only drink when I go out which is some weekends but not all. I used to drink quite a bit and cut back considerably but I still have a pretty high tolerance. What happened in Vegas was obviously a rare occasion. It was just a fun group of people and time flew by. Kinda like the inside pool party at VF... get there around midnight & leave when the sun comes up... that's a good 6 hrs right there... the place is full from start to end too.

$84.00 + Tax - I Don't Think So!
The Exectutive West was $70 last year and I don't think it is supposed to go up this year. The construction is all complete & you may drive around for over 30 minutes to find a parking spot if not at Excutitive Inn.

Thanks Bob, are you going too?Bob Jewett said:
If you stayed there?
I am confused if you stayed there, what is wrong with the sister Executive Inn right across the street. I stayed there one year it was fine and a little quieter. They have a shuttle to take you across the highway. I used it a lot when weather was lousy even though it was a short walk but being from California the cold really bothers me. About the same price. They were owned by same person but since he died do not know what the status is now.

Since I'll be helping to run the 14.1 and 3-cushion events, I'm required to be there.Timberly said:

I just made my reservations recently, and $70 was still good. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Thanks- I saw that hotel online but didnt recognize the name- Maybe it changed hands since last year? Hotels do that all the time.. I stayed in one hotel in Ft L that Started out as Embassy Suites, wound up a Sheraton and had 2 other operators in between.
Hope i can get the same deal at BW that i did last year.
Rooms are going fast
I made mine today. I was told out of about 700 rooms there are only about 100 left. Makes yours now!!

Derby City Classic
The 8th Annual Derby City Classic
We are going on our 8th year and I have to admit it has been quite a learning experience for everyone involved. The first few tournaments had quite a steep learning curve for myself as well as the hotel. The hotel didn’t know what to expect and definitely didn’t help out. They wouldn’t even keep the snack bar open late enough for the players! Each year has posted a major improvement. I have succeeded in turning the hotel from a liability into an asset….without them I couldn’t add the amount of money I do. This coming year there will be over $100,000 added to various tournaments at the DCC and yes, the hotel adds money! Why shouldn’t they? We are now the largest event they have. Think about it, the DCC is 9 straight days of ACTION!
There are other issues we have had to address together. Improved security, improved broadcasting of event to hotel TV’s, increased set-up days, and additional areas for pool action. Even allowing us to set-up tables in the bar area. They are definitely working with us to handle our needs. I know there were 200 rooms last year being remodeled and noise was a problem at times. The parking lot was restricted due to the construction trailers and equipment. This coming year we will all enjoy the fruits of their labor. I’ll never tell anyone where to stay. Do what ya gotta do. The most important thing to me is that you show up! The money will be added no matter where you stay; however, I must say I could ask for more money to add to the tournament if more people would stay on site!!! Maybe a good snow storm would add to the value of the Executive West.
I have a few huge announcements regarding the DCC coming during the month of September. Check back periodically and hope to see you there!

I was there a couple days this past January and I intend to do it again. You do a great job, I had a blast. I would like to see the Banks tournament at the end of the week though. The way it is now, to see nine-ball or one pocket, I would have to miss work in the middle of the week. I really enjoyed the banks ring game last year, it had a very exciting finish. During the banks ring game an old man named Pots And Pans, was out in the hall hollering limericks and telling old road tales, it was a tough decision, to go in and finish watching the ring game, or listen to this entertaining old man. I wish I could work it out, so I can go for the whole thing.
