SBR Bash 8/22 - Vegas!

[Bill Dozer]

Anyone worked out the details on the poker tournament?
whats the buy in? and when's it gonna be?

It's a free tourney. Last table is in the money!

We are going to have an optional small buy-in for charity. If the winner donated, he gets half the pot. If the winner did not it will all go to charity.

Saturday the 23rd. We are aiming for the first hand to be dealt at 3:00.

[Bill Dozer]

Part of the reason some make money at gambling is by being very cautious and not giving anything out that they don't have to.

(For instance, lets say SBR is selling the list of players that come to the bash? That may well be a list that sportsbooks
would pay for. I am not saying that is the case, but I would prefer to not even have to worry about my identity being compromised. )

To be honest I am not even happy about people knowing what I look like.

can i register and show up for all the events without giving you my personal information? (Skipping the free hotel.)

I would go by the name Mr. Paranoia

Operaman,
Apologies for not answering you sooner. I saw you pointed out your Qs in the downgrade SBR thread. Valid CS complaint.

Sure, you can join us with only your posting name.

[ChuteBoxe]

Wow Bill, you're up late this evening.

[bbyhill]

How much $ should you bring to Vegas with you?The minimum.

[jackpot269]

All of it !!!!!!!!!!!!

[tblues2005]

Bill,

I have a question for you guys can you send a voucher through the mail or do I have to purchase the ticket first then send it over to you?

If I get these tickets soon I can get a better price I think.

Thanks.

[Iwinyourmoney]

I keep seeing the word voucher. Are we getting a check, cash, or what for travel?

[Mr. D]

Ladies and Gents, for those qualified for travel expense reimbursement: there are no vouchers! purchase your tickets and when you actually show up at the Bash you will be REIMBURSED up to $300 for your travel expenses.

[tblues2005]

Iwinyourmoney I sure would like to know this also. Maybe they will give us a ticket with our names on it through the cheapest airfare they could find for us or something. I found the cheapest airfare from here is $310 round trip on southwest. I sure would like to buy my tickets here soon so I could get a good deal to get there.

[tblues2005]

Mr. D thanks for letting me know about it. I found tickets on southwest.

I would like to know about travel to the hotel is there a shuttle that goes between the airport and hotel when I get there?

[MrX]

So if I'm living in Vegas at the time, can I take a helicopter to the Grand Canyon and back and get my airfare reimbursed by SBR?

Instead you get a 300 dollar casino credit. Enjoy the tables.

[tblues2005]

Kellen that may be the thing here it might be a $300 credit towards the casino. I will playing the horses with that credit possibly. I will for sure have my forms printed out at home so I can wager on them there.

Thats what I was thinking. I figured they worked something out with the Nugget to reimburse us like that. Its cool with me, cause even if they gave me 300 cash reimbursement, it would go to the casino.

so im assuming the golf tourney is free as well?

[tblues2005]

Kellen that sounds great to me also and that is what I would do if I was them also. Getting $300 in casino money is alright with me. Like I said I would be playing the horses and making future football bets while I am there for sure.

[Kellen]

Golf tourney is free but we're playing 100$ a hole.

us high handicappers better stay around the putting greens then huh?

[Kellen]

Im just going out there to get drunk. If some bets are placed thats fine too. My main focus is just gonna be to get drunk and play fast to get the hell out of the 110 degree weather.

[smallon]

If I knew there was a $300 credit I'd have flown in from Thailand....the ticket would have only cost me around $700....ought to be able to make that back, right?

it needed to be done the day the registration came out i think.. i may be wrong. so tell me smalls how small are you ?

My handle has nothing to do with being small. I'm in no way a "small," in fact, I'm rather large, both my body type and my "length." So before you go assuming everyone needs to refer to the size of something, you might want to think in a totally different direction.

In fact, the handle is my name, or at least the first letter and my last name - backwards. Nothing to do with size.

That's not what she said

[smallon]

Wanna be more specific about "she?" Maybe "she' was lying but just 2 hours ago she was screaming about it being "too big, too big, it hurts." Maybe I need another handle, BIGON.

What day and time do we need to leave the Golden Nugget? The 24th at noon? anybody know

I didn't see it.

[marke4]

Another great service provide by SBR. Well done. Is this a yearly event? Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year, but would be very interested every year from now.

Nice.

I know you we PM'd but for the board...yes, normal checkout time on the 24th is noon but if there is availability you can take your time checking out. Of course, anyone staying longer can make arrangements to keep their room.

Check-in time is 3:00. You can check in earlier if there is availability. If there isn't, you can leave your bags with the front desk.

Smallon,
If you have 1000 posts you would be able to score the air credit.

Is there a conflict of interest regarding pimike being there and everyone else.
I know alot of people have a beef with him. I could see people sitting down to play cards finding out that guy was at the table and everyone just leaving. Personally i dont want to be hangin out with any P.I.s, detectives or cops... no real reason other than I just dont like them.

[robzilla]

i think Pimike is just going to the bash to do recon for CW. Probably threaten a few people and try to collect. The guy isnt even a gambler.
