Covid protocol, options of where to play from, the big room itself.
Was there a mask mandate?
How safe did you feel? How aware the other players seem regarding personal space?
The rooms at the hotel?
Anything else you feel like sharing?
Congrats again. Job well done.
Boy would I love to take a crack at that final table. That would be very major BIG FUN.

Thanks! See you at Oaklawn in December. Already have reservations at Arlington Hotel for opening day
Masks were required but people didn't wear them at the tables. I got lucky that there were only three people at my table instead of five, a friend and a qualifier from NY. He finished 23rd or so which is excellent. Tables had pretty good separation. Room was huge w/big screens on the sides, two rows of machines on opposite sides of the room and a separate set of live tellers to gamble outside the contest. Breakfast and lunch were buffets but they served it to you. You did self serve ice for soft drinks. Ballys is excellent, rooms were nice and spacious. Casino workers went around reminding people about masks. Mixed drinks were $19.50 at Ballys and Linq, Beer draw $10.50 at Paris which seemed insane-those were the only places i went. At Awards dinner people were a lot closer but again there were only three people at my table
