I played in the first two and hope to play in this one but that is one busy weekend for me. Lots of travel already on the books for the days surrounding those dates.

Where is Beau Rivage?
I have never heard of it, where is it?

Jan and I will be there again. I look forward to another round at the BrewPub with you, Rebel.

I played in the Blackjack Squadron tourney earlier in the year and enjoyed the format. Remember they have the rule no even money on blackjack if you don't have the chips to cover the insurance bet.
I'll be at this one. Everyone going should plan a meet up or something.

Conflict with Grand Tunica
Isn't this on the same weekend as the Grand tournament in Tunica? I have my calender marked to play in that one, but I have also played in the beaurivage tourney too, so I am torn about which one to play in. Doesn't the grand payout a lot more (down to semifinalists) or am I mixing that up with the Gold Strike?
I know the Grand is $500 versus the $100 for the beau, and there probably are fewer players in Biloxi versus Tunica, plus the beach is always better than looking for Elvis.....

Beau Rivage Tournament
Ken Smith,
I've made reservation for this tournament. I know, I probably won't win but I just love the challenge.....lol I've only been playing blackjack since October, 2004. Blackjack certainly keeps me busy enough since I retired and helps keep cob webs out of my head.
Ken, I saw you on television about 8 months ago in a blackjack tournament. I can't remember the names you played against. I just remembered your name because you are from Mississippi and keeps everyone here thinking BLACKJACK!!!!!!!
Good luck to everyone.
Feeling Lucky,
Cjoy

Martini Bar
Yes, the tournay is on the same weekend as the Tunica Grand. But don't think the Beau will not be jammed. It will. But it's a fun tourney, and well run.
One thing that is important to note... the martinii bar near the playing area is FREE to tournament players all weekend. It's a nice little spot and the martini's are great. I'll be there with my wife. Hope to see some of ya.

The rooms at Grand Casino Biloxi are inexpensive and very nice. Only a few minutes from the Beau.

Beau Rivage Takes a Bath
Post storm reports indicate the Beau suffered major flooding on the entire first floor. Not sure if it was the hotel only since the casino is a barge and could have rose with the storm surge. Let's hope the tournament is still on.

I think it's safe to say that neither the Grand Gulfport event nor the Beau Rivage have any chance of happening. I'll be very surprised if any casino reopens for two months.
That's just based on the information I'm getting second hand. I'm still not home, as I'm stuck in Vegas. Hopefully tomorrow I can fly into Pine Belt Airport near Hattiesburg, despite my car being in the New Orleans Airport parking (fourth floor fortunately).
The one-way ticket from Vegas to Hattiesburg was a whopping $744 though! Ouch! I just hope I'm home to check on my family by late tomorrow night. I haven't heard from them since the storm starting getting really tough in Hattiesburg.

The pictures and stories coming from the Gulf Coast are sobering. I'm particularly concerned about casino_jim, who was weathering the storm at home in Long Beach. Jim, I hope you're OK.
As of this morning, I still have a scheduled flight that will get me into Hattiesburg tonight. Hopefully it won't be cancelled before I get there. Still no communications possible into the affected area.
Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.
