    As we spoke about this before Jp .

    I think u could be onto a winner with there amount of guests ..

    not to sound too pessimistic but city west is crying out for business this year and while occupancy levels for the hospitality sector are down across the board they seem to have taken a particular bad hit this year.

    Finally using the degree then?

    Good luck with this JP. Close to me, so I should pop in for a few spins.

    Sounds good Jp. Will you be running poker games every night? Just so i can do my usual swim around 8 o'clock up there and then pop upstairs for a game! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,054 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    is the 250 game a one day event or 2?

    I saw an ad for this place in a recent magazine, the red tables look cool. Meant to put a thread up about it but forgot.

    I'm talking about the list of questions every tournament organiser is supposed to answer in order to START the thread. There is a sticky about this and its been the rules since almost the start of the forum.

    It's a 4500sq foot function room which has been turned into casino.

    There will be soft drinks available and i believe a glass of wine or two if your playing the gaming tables but not the poker.

    You will be allowed to buy a drink in the hotel and bring it into the casino (as long as you know what your limit is).
