I know a guy who stays at the Armpit Motel across the street from the
Riviera when he plays in the National.

I like the tournaments in Las Vegas even though it is a thousand dollar
event for me to play. I have no illusions on winning money. I go because I
like chess and I like Las Vegas. In fact I already have my plane tickets and
Hotel reservation for this December's event.

I also prefer Bally's over the Riv because of its great location. If it was
at some Station Creation I wouldn't be quite as happy.
