You will quickly find out that our convention isn't the sole focal point for being there. It is a large gathering of friends who do what most friends would do while in Las Vegas on a vacation. The Island Bar (I think that's what they call it) has been adopted as the South Point version of the Splashbar from the Riviera as a gathering place for chippers almost 24 hours a day (sometimes it is 24 hours a day). Many impromptu events originate from there, like going to dinner, invading a BJ or craps table as a group, going on a chip run with a few folks, and just about anything else you could think of. Our convention is a party where newcomers will quickly and easily meet new friends, friends who will become life-long friends.
