After yesterday's discussion about the Riv possibly re-opening there Poker Room....I figured what the heck. I emailed them. Here is there response:

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the Riviera is reopening its Poker Room. Pending Gaming Control Board approval, we are hoping for a May 1st opening. However, at this point in time we cannot confirm that date until approval is received. Please contact us again in a week or two and we may have a definite answer for you. Thanks again for e mailing us.

So it looks like we will have a place to play Poker this year while at the Convention!!! Can I sit at Greg's table?
