WoVCon 1, What's going on?
Quote: CroupierJust a quick update.
I have been in touch with Main Street Station, who have confirmed what I already guessed from their website. They have no Texas Hold'em poker. No Boyd Gaming property Downtown does. Should we wish to arrange a poker tournament, this would have to be done at a different venue.
I also looked into the possibility of private BJ and Craps Tables, but they do not offer this facility.
Bininon's is right across the street. I am sure they could arrange a poker table for the right price. At the right hour (i.e., early), it should not be too hard to "take over" a BJ or Craps table.

You are probably right. I would just like to have something arranged in advance, for ease of getting everyone together, rather than having a group of us trawling downtown, looking for a poker/craps/bj table.
Quote: AyecarumbaFor the poker, perhaps a couple of tables in a suite or meeting room (or someone's garage). You can avoid the rake. The problem with a tournament is what do the early knockouts do while the others play on?
If its in someones garage, they could be made to deal or fetch drinks as punishment. But that is kinda why I wanted a private table, as somewhere to congregate after the poker, as people were knocked out.

I suggest then you never play in my garage. The Domina in me tends to come out when punishment is to be parceled out ;)
Seriously, it's a bit intimate to play at someone's palce, garage or not. Something that would be more appropriate for WoVCon 2, perhaps.

Something we could do if all else fails is to chip in and book a suite at the MSS or elsewhere Downtown for one night. We could use it to play and for other things, like a pit stop location, storage area if needed, rest area, etc. Just hide the remote and lock the minibar so no one gets creative with the bill. We'd need cards and chips, which can be had easily Downtown if quality's not an issue.

The Wizard suggested something similar earlier in the thread. Looks like this is the way we are going to be heading. And even if quality of cards and chips is an issue, the Gamblers General Store is a short [car] trip (but a hell of a walk on a hot sunny day) down Main St.
Speakig of cash, is anyone interested in commemorative 100 and 200 peso bills? I can bring a few along and exchange them at the current rate (around $25 for both notes, one each). They're a special run from last year to mark the centennial of the Mexican Revolution and the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence. the 100 peso note is printed on plastic, the 200 one on paper. I can probably find pics online.

It would have been nice if they had replied to my emails. Oh well. No such luck. Im sure we will be able to arrange something. I just like things planned.
Not that this is a timely bump.
