Yes, I know you've all been waiting for news of when the MPT is coming to your area. Well, we really don't come to your area (although we do make some exceptions), you have to come to us.
Here are some future dates to keep in mind for this year's Tour:
April 27: Atlantic City event (Most likely Bally's)
May 25: Turning Stone, Verona, NY*
June 7: ECLVA "Spring" Classic event* (TENTATIVE DATE)
July 6: Atlantic City event (Another House of Blues suite?)
August 8 0r 9: Las Vegas event*
September TBD: ECLVA "Summer" Classic (and H.O.R.S.E. tournament)
September 20-27: Carnival Carribean Cruise event*
October TBD: Atlantic City event (Showboat?)
November TBD: Possible Atlantic City event (Caesars?)*
December 27: Main Event (we'll try for Harrah's)
I've ironed out some dates (Saturday's) where we held tourney's last year (except for the March event, which has moved to April). We've added some dates to the tour this year:
- The May ECLVA "Spring" Classic event
- I will be in Turning Stone Memorial Day weekend and would be up for hosting an event there.
- We'll be in Las Vegas in August and are hoping to hold our first Las Vegas based MPT.
- We're taking our anniversary cruise at the end of September, and what better way to celebrate than have an event on the actual date of the event's beginning!
- Hopefully we can add the November Caesars event.
EDITED 4/24/2008 to correct April date and add tentative date for May event
EDITED 5/13/2008 to correct June (formerly May) event date and likely dates for July and August events

Glad to hear we're finally talking about the 2008 events. I'm looking forward to hosting the May and September events. I hope we have a big turnout for those, even if it does require folks to actually leave the casinos for a few hours.
I wonder if we could have a Borgata event this year? Since few of us have any status to earn weekend rooms there, it would probably have to be a weekday event, which would limit it (at least for me) to either July or the December ToC. Unless, of course, we tried to squeeze in a June event.
We only need one of us to be able to get a room at the Borgata to have an event there.
We could always increase the vig to cover the room cost. . .
Hmmm, Harv. If the "vig" covered room costs, then that could be a potential perk for the MPT champion. The winner of the previous "MPT" could earn the right to have their room provided for the next event. Maybe, that could be included in the "prize package" for the winner.
Of course, the winner could opt to just take the cash, if they were already comped rooms. That might be fun for some. On the other hand, I don't want to add a huge fee to our buy-ins. Add to that the fact that not everyone could make every event and perhaps the "free room" benefit wouldn't work. Perhaps there is a side bet among those who can't earn free weekend rooms here.
Harv,
Cathy and I will be in LV August 2-6. When are you going?
