Gary; It's not just an issue of throwing a party and they will come. People will always come to a free party. It's more complex an issue than that. The question is "will they stay"? Some people bailed out of the Orleans on Thursday, to avoid the very modest weekend increase in room rates at Orleans. They went elsewhere for $10 a night less.

Question: I ask you.....and others..... what is right across from Tropicana?
Answer: Excalibur!
Question: Trop's room rates will be $69 week days to $89 on weekends... where do you think many of our members will opt to stay?
Answer: Do I have to paint everyone a clearer picture?

It's nice to say "I'll be there". But will most be staying there, where ever it's held?
