The Cowboy Fast Draw Intergalactic Fast Draw Championships, originally planned to be at the Virginia City Camel Races Festival has been cancelled as the Festival has changed management and they decided that they did not want Cowboy Fast Draw at their Festival.

I am working on another possible event, (also very cool) but if I can get it together at this late date or not remains to be seen.  If  I can arrange it, it will be fun!

Please note that times and events may change at the last minute, so be sure to check the schedule posted in the Hospitality room regularly.

The Silver Legacy is an excellent hotel, but I wouldn't bother with their buffet, Flavors. The El Dorado Buffet is outstanding, easily matching the best ones in Vegas.

I think we had breakfast at Flavors last I was there. It was pretty good--for breakfast, at least.

This year's Hospitality room is maybe a couple of hundred feet from last year's location. Last year we were on the left of the Silver Baron Ballroom, and this year we are in a slightly larger location on the right of the ballroom.We are still along the same wall behind the Mining Machine.
