Vegas.

But I’ve always wanted to visit New Orleans just to party.

Oh, also, Nove 15- Jan 6th is the /easiest/ time for me to make it, since everything shuts down around then.

Vegas is my vote, if I have to choose one or the other.

Although I gotta say, I like ChrisHal’s idea for Trump :) Chicago’s not a bad place to have a partaaaaay and I have an in with the floor staff that they might spread a tournament for us. However, December is not the time for such a venture…

Hmmm… I’m not sure NO is out of the running yet. I would have a vehicle there as well… and October is doable.

Re: running our own game

It would be illegal in New Orleans if anyone were profiting off the game, even indirectly. And in a technical sense, the hotel would be doin that. If we ran it at someone’s home, or personal property, it would be legal no matter how many people we had as long as no one was taking a cut and we didn’t pay dealers.

Oh, and World Reknowned Professional Poker Player Chris Halverson… I’m working out… be afraid, be very afraid.

Hmm. If it’s late Oct of this year, I say Vegas, since I’ll already be there :D Otherwise: NOLA all the way!

*sighs* It looks like Vegas (yeah I was rooting for New Orleans) shoot me an e-mail if you need anything on the local sceen. :)

So.. should it be before of after December…

BTW Chris’ Idea for doing it ourselves is great; however, it’s illegal. You can’t run a game for cash without a license. This would be too large to be ingroned by the powers that be, I think.

Gawd, that security code is toooooo loooooong.

Nawlins has more than one casino, folks. I’ll get a car that can hold five people at a minimum if we have to drive. Crikey, I’ll rent a freaking school bus. My personal official vote is for the Big Easy. Casual, easy-going, Southern charm, and the best food in America.

I’ll go to Vegas, but I’ll be double-damned if I stay in downtown Vegas again. Lamest Sin City experience EVER.

Definitely not December. I say October.

I’ll go wherever you lead, but my heart says Vegas. I second Mr. Halverson, NO DECEMBER DAMMIT!! I can reschedule a test, but not a final!!
