NHC to Treasure Island for 2012-13

Thank God it's back on the strip.

The Red Rock was an amazing property. Perhaps one of the nicest I have ever seen (I rank it right up there with the Wynn). The staff there was also excellent. And I know they wanted us back.

I have never been to TI but the location is excellent. Couple that with the much cheaper room rate I am sure the NTRA got and it makes economic sense.

On the other hand, I doubt there racebook is very big or modern. This will mean holding the contest in a ballroom instead of the book which has never been done.

Hopefully, I will qualify again this year and see first hand if this is a good choice.

They have a virtual tour on their site and it seems modern but is nowhere near big enough to handle 500 people. I'm sure they're going to have it in a ballroom now, which will be inferior to having it in the racebook. I guess that's the price you pay for having that many people in it and a top prize of $1 million.

Phil Ruffin LOL. . . Did anyone see him on High Stakes Poker?

Shame...Red Rock was great.

Treasure Island is a step down in my opinion. Its a kids hotel, simmilar to the circus circus, and Excalibur.

How far of a cab ride is the Red Rock from the strip?
