My marketing friend was aghast! He had been reading some ridiculous book written by an author who didn't really know what he was writing about. Which, in the long run, will be the most important to his future success? It will be my job to excite you to come to Las Vegas. And you know there will be those who come for other reasons too and will use CHESS as their excuse for coming.
I've been to Las Vegas shows and every one I saw was incredible. The architecture was incredible. The fun lasts all evening, cheap breakfasts, buffets you can't believe, amazing hospitality. Yes, I've played in chess tournaments in Las Vegas too. It's all just one heckuva good time So what?

I then discovered that I had to go on a bit of a trek to another floor to find the list of players and their results, which they had to fill in themselves!!
