Rick:

Great job of picking up when the Flamingo scre–ed up. Do you know how much a good customer is worth? Every business is crying for a loyal customer. If the Flamingo has a legitimate reason for canceling the tournament, the only way they are going to keep that customer happy and loyal is how they RESOLVE the problem. And when they pi$$ off clients like this, their way of handling this matter is going to affect them EXPONENTIALLY.

Personally, I think they have a legal problem on their hands and don't want to make it worse. Probably being investigated by gaming control board. But why cancel room reservations? Duh, they're already got 150 rooms with at least 200+ gamblers. I guess if I knew anything, I'd be employed by the casinos.

Rick, thanks for stepping up and making a good will gesture. It will score points for you and your casino. And isn't that all we're asking for is a little respect before we blow our wad on your machines. ;-)

I'm sorry to see Janel get dragged down in this mess especially since she's been instrumental in supporting the chippers and strikers. When you make your complaints heard, mention the good things Janel has done in the same breath.

I was looking so forward to this tournament.

Life will go on...
