any questions on clothing if you have not already done so.
2. Caesars Palace check-in: Please check in at the Emperor's Salon VIP
room--big double doors to the left of the main hotel registration area.
You'll be staying in one of Caesar's deluxe tower rooms. For security
purposes and for any incidentals you may wish to charge, Caesars Palace
requires all guests to post a credit card upon check-in. Again, if you

Sunday: hotel check out. VIP transportation to airport—be at Augustus
Tower entrance 2 hours before your flight departure time.
4. Friday Night Dinner: For players only please. We're happy to arrange

This probably a standard schedule, more or less. The VIP transportation is one of those black charter vans as seen in the photo below. Damn things were hot in the desert sun!

Mansion has banned US players.

Not sure if its only the casino and sportsbook but you might want to check up on it.

Hiya, drizz!

Still open for poker is the latest word that I have. Closed to sportsbook and casino gaming (to U.S. players), so for those of you looking for a repeat of that $1,000 Steelers freeroll, it's not going to happen.
