Laughlin River Run/VP Tourney Aquarius Trip report

Offer from Aquarius for VP tourney last weekend plus $150 FP.

After we booked discovered it’s River Run weekend but did not cancel.

Played the almost FP $1 10/6 DDB with the SF at 200 instead of 250.

Gave them $30K action/day for 3 days, Lost north of $3K.

Riverside had the most river run tents including a “bodies” bar.

Locals said been mucho less problems as the crowd ages.

One news report said 20K bikes in town.

Did have one stabbing and one bike stolen.

The VP tournament had ~400 entries.

The machines were in “Tournament Mode” with two 10 minute sessions.

Red cards also had 2 mulligans.

There were 5 RF’s.

Estimated the E.V. at $60.

Game was 8/5 BP with quad set at 175.

It’s kind of amazing they would even run a tournament promotion during the one true big weekend that Laughlin has all year! Too bad on the losses. I was there around the time of the bike run and the biggest pain for me (beside the crowds) was the impact all the fenced off parking areas (to create bike parking areas) has on the car parking.
