Las Vegas Again The 9th District has planned its tourney for Las Vegas this year. The dates are September 19-21 (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday) at Travelsuites Inn on the Las Vegas Strip, on the same side of the street as Circus Circus. It takes five seconds to cross the street from Travelsuites to Circus Circus.  The Circus has almost twelve hours of free performances by some of the best in the world, from 11AM thru midnight by some of the best trapeze performers, acrobats, specialty acts, etc. The Circus is a great place for families with kids. It has all kinds of rides, at least 25 different activities such as bumper cars, water chutes, rollercoasters, clown shows, etc. for a charge. Travelsuites is on the strip and is therefore close to many great hotels. Travelsuites has a nice pool to refresh during the day, it's a very refreshing way to beat the heat.

Please spread the word. This is our first tourney on the strip so we want it to have enough players and friends to have the hotel welcome us back next year. The other hotels wanted $1,500 - $3,000 for the playing room. Travelsuites is not charging us anything. Anyone, even people not interested in checkers (our family, friends, or acquaintances) can take advantage of this special by just mentioning the checkers discount.

We want to have lots of bodies to make us look good for the coming years. Any questions just send me an email. glopez73@roadrunner.com
