2008 BCA Nationals in Vegas - Day 1

After a late start yesterday afternoon, we didn’t arrive until about 3:30a.m. Poor Mike. The 9 Ball Challenge started at 9 o’clock and they stuck us in a smoking room. It took another hour to get a different room and hall all our crap to the new room. It was a temporary “mini suite” but there was nothing sweet about this suite. The only thing suite-like about it was the size. I think they would’ve been better off making this room into a double or even two rooms rather than a giant king with a 19” TV about 60 feet away.
not-so-sweet suite

By the time we finally dumped all our stuff, got some more ice for the cooler, and passed out, it was close to 5a.m. I had been awake for 22 hours. UGH…

There were 172 players in the 9 Ball Challenge and 24 will be returning tomorrow morning.

They were still setting up the tables in the main event room. They’ll be working through the night I’m sure.

There are renovations going on all over the place here. Looks like a little bar maybe?

Now here’s an interesting ad I passed in the hallway. Looks like they have their target market pegged, huh?
Who are they recruiting???

Back with more soon. The internet is slower than molasses here. :(
