Prob a set tournament rate, no?
US Open 9-Ball, 2023, Atlantic City, Sep 25-30
- Thread starter Bob Jewett
- Start date
I went through the process to gauge expenses. Note the rate change on Sat/Sun despite being booked via the "player's block"
Looks like I lied... After receiving a ton of support and encouragement from my friends and wife (thanks babe), I took one of the 8 available spots.
Once I'm done shaking, I'll sort out how I'm going to cover the costs...lol

It was something like $1500+ when registration first opened. I bitched at MR about this. I'm local and a 30 minute drive away. They wanted me to take the 21-30 for the rooms.
I finally received my spot and they made an exception for me since i am local.
JV so it's $750 entry not $500?
Give um hell!
Did MR make you stay in the hotel, I forget?
I checked the player's agreement and it states only that players need to be at Harrah's for the 24th. So I booked for the 24th - 30th.
You get a couple of spectator passes with your entry so I'll be trolling locals to see if they're willing to split room costs for the week...lol
It has verbage in the player's agreement that locals do not need to stay at the resort.
section 5.7
yes, $750usd
Wait a minute does this mean you are willing to share a room with a stranger?
Booking.com, Harrah's, Sep 24-30, six nights, including taxes, city fee, "destination fee" and resort fee ($28/night) gets me $148/night, $887 total
Be careful because the taxes and fees are going to run to about $50/night.
I got this quote right now.

A stranger with $500usd he's willing to give me...? ....quite possibly
Its a great deal and experience.
If the sport has meaning to you, go for it.
I only attended one event as a fan and it was memorable, Atlantic City. I had see the Matchroom hype and it delivers.
To experience it as a player the fee is worth it.
Thats a bucket list item for me.

This is Atlantic City not Canada dont do it.
Yep... except players need to be at Harrah's for the 24th, so I think that night alone was $149.
I just paid for the 24-30th stretch and it was...... ....$921.50 (tax includ) w/o resort fees. Resort fee = $24 plus tax per night
I redid it with the 24th -- $887 total including all fees. You may have to be a booking.com regular.
That is a commitment! Kudos to you! I will be pulling for you in hopes that you not only cash, but that your trip is a profitable one!
Maybe, I don't know. I followed the link provided to me by MR to get "their booking block". It may even have additional fees associated to it...lol
