Who is going to vegas in may?
Me and my husband, Mike
have you booked already?
Not yet.
where are you staying?
Not sure whether the Riv or a condo yet.
how do you get those preemo rooms,main floor by the pool?
When I stayed with the twins, we got those, but not sure how. Everyone who has worked there some time knows them though, so that is probably how they get them.
are you driving or flying?
Flying
are you going for singles or team event?
I will be playing Singles and scotch only. My husband is playing all 3 events. He will have a good team in the Masters, so I will stay and root them all on. I am going to be their Athletic Supporter!
will there be a az billiards room there?
That would be nice, but doubt it. I do want to meet Scott Lee and Randy G.
has anyone finished high in the events?
I took 2nd in VNEA Nationals 1997 and 3rd? in BCA in Atlantic City 1996, 2nd in speed pool and 2nd in Artistic Pool 2 years ago. Last year, I bombed out, but I usually bring some money home. 2 years, I believe, I got to play in the pro event.
do you watch the pro event?
When I can, if not just to say hi to everyone.

Very true, TheOne. I have posted before of my hatred of the Riviera & it's appearance, customer service, food, tiny size of hotel rooms, location on the strip, and every thing about it besides the pool tables.TheOne said:Going to try Grand Masters (dates better) then VNEA week later, then probably World Summit week later!

With the Stardust being blown up, I will be forced to stay at the Riviera this year. It is not worth the hassle of travelling up and down the strip or taking the chance of being late for a match for me to stay at a nicer hotel down the strip. For those that haven't been to Vegas in awhile, I thought I would give you a traffic warning. The strip is now horrendous to try to travel up and down by car or taxi. Friday & Saturday nights are the biggest nightmare but even most times it is not that easy or quick. The taxi lines are the longest at the biggest, most popular hotels so a trick is to walk to a lesser hotel to try and grab a cab.
Last year after my team won (note: I am just the captain, scorekeeper, settler of disputes as my friends play 6 balls better than me), we went from the Riviera to Luxor (length of the strip) for a celebration dinner on that Saturday night & it took 1 hour 45 minutes by car.
I don't think it will be this busy in May, but I had a friend go last weekend during the NBA All Star weekend. He said from the Bellagio to Caesars, it took 1 hour by car!!
its very true.lol.vegas has to have more cabs per capita than any city and you still have to wait in huge lines to get one.lolwatchez said:
me and a friend were looking at pictures i had from vegas 20 years ago and its nuts(the differences from then and now)but thats what i like about the city.i was there last may and november and i will be there in may and there will be so much change in that period.its nuts.lol
and i do have to agree with you the riv is turning out to be a s.h.i.t. hole.i will be surprised if its there in the next 5 years.
Who is going to vegas in may?
All 10 days
have you booked already?
Yep, room, entries and flight.
where are you staying?
The Riv.
how do you get those preemo rooms,main floor by the pool?
Gotta know somebody which I don't.
are you driving or flying?
33,000 feet up, so I hope I'm flying.
are you going for singles or team event?
Playing in the singles and supporting the home town in the teams.
will there be a az billiards room there?
Don't know. It would be nice if one of the vendors with a room volunteered their room as a meeting place for the AZer's.
has anyone finished high in the events?
Couple of years ago, I won my first six or seven matches in the open and had to forfeit my next two because of a death in my family. Still made me a master, darn it!
do you watch the pro event?
I always sneak in for a session or two.

WRT the problem of the cue, I have a regular samsonite hardshell suitcase that I put my cue case in diagnolly inside the suitcase. Takes a lot of room out of the case but when playing pool who needs 7 changes of clothing...:-}
Answer to thread:
Yes going both to team and singles. Last year was my first time and it was awesome.
Going to fly there a day early to get used to it and warm up on the tables.
Staying at the riv this year. last year stayed at Circus Circus across the street and got tired of going back and forth several times a day.
Would like to meet fellow azber's there, will there be a room or a general meeting place?
Only 77 days to go....
