Hiya Rick, yes, the convention is at the Riv and the tournies are at the Palms. Gene Trimble arranges for his outfit to treat us REAL well in that regard. Too far to walk between the two properties and in 2005(?) the road repair crews tried to make it impossible to drive there as well.
Taxi or drive or carpool. Don't sweat it too much, the convention is all about a bunch of friends celebrating our hobby. Ask around and you'll get a ride and a friend or two you haven't met yet. Deadlines may be imminent, better head over to the Club site for details.
