Piffin Reno Nevada at the John Ascuaga's Nugget Resort.
janugget.com
March 3rd through the 5th, 2000!
Everyone is invited. Piffers, non Piffers, wannabe Piffers and those that just want to hang with Piffers...
A weekend of fun at The Nugget, which is a great place with very nice people and the best indoor pool you have ever seen. I have arranged casino rates for standard rooms at 59.00 dollars a night. They will give discounts for suites but you must call for a quote. They have two towers, I suggest staying at the newer tower where jacuzzi tubs are available. I have told the marketing group that I would prefer us to be in that tower so all should be arranged.
We can all stay on the same floor but smokers may want a different level. I'll be on a non smoking floor for sure.
We will also have a room for our meeting, a time to discuss different trading techniques and some PnF tips and tricks - for those just learning this would be a great time to ask questions as this will be an open forum. Not a seminar but rather a discussion group where we will all learn from each other. Bring your laptops as The Nugget is arranging us to have multiple connections in our meeting room.
Saturday night I'll arrange a big dinner for all of us, won't be free but I think we can get a "deal" on the grub.
Transportation is available by shuttles that leave every half hour from the airport to the hotel. Now, if you all would send me your flight information I can possibly arrange some limo rides if there are enough coming in around the same time. I'll let you know. We'll get a schedule together.
There is also a Craps Tournament going on the same weekend. Whhoo hoooo! I know we have some players amongst us. If you want to enter the tournament please let the marketing rep know when you call to make your reservation. Plan on staying Sunday should you enter the finals until 3:00pm or so. I'll post the Craps Tournament information and rules in a separate post. See below.
