He never said or wrote that.

He's not a card player.

"Actually I have never seen you anywhere other than the banquet(i know you have club business to attend to during the day). Why not socialize at the Splash Bar with everyone. Oh I remember, club officials shouldn't be seen there for all the shenanogans that go on there (A quote from a board member)"
I saw him at the Splashbar numerous times.

"Also, I was told that Mike Skelton had a suite this year in which select club members were also invited for a dinner comped by the Riviera. I have never seen Mike Skelton, nor yourself gamble at the Riviera in the 2 years I have attended. Care to elaborate. If I am wrong provide proof you paid for your rooms.
Comped rooms as part of a guaranteed convention block of night stays are standard practice. What other people do in their hotel rooms is none of your business, nor is it any of your business how much or little anyone gambles in a casino.
Wayne has stated that he thinks Club members who make room reservations for comped rooms through a casino host should be able to have those rooms count toward the Club room night stay total, but reservations made through third party discount travel sites would not under any circumstances. We'll have to wait and see about that. I hope they will let players reserve rooms through a host and still be counted. My casino host at the Riviera was very good to me for a 5-night stay in October, and I don't play at quite the level you profess to play.

The convention rates aren't a joke. They were negotiated to be the best we could get and still have about 30,000 square feet of convention space to use for free.
As to the 33 point pool chip, I apologize. I missed that one, and will have a chip in the mail tomorrow.
