Las Vegas Open every year is now gone! Maybe not!

I recently posted "What will become of the Las Vegas Open"
But not so fast! It looks like a new venue is in the works as we speak....


Yes, the Westward Ho has closed. While they NEVER sponsored the event, we will miss all that the hotel did to make darters comfortable during the Las Vegas Open. Since receiving word of the hotel sale, in late Sept., I have been searching for a suitable, affordable venue in Las Vegas.........with ballroom space available on January 27 - 29, 2006.

I hope to sign a contract, by the end of this week, with the Palace Station Hotel & Casino.......to stage the 2006 event in their new Sports Complex. As soon as the contract is signed, I will do an immediate Press Release, which will appear on the ADO and WDF websites. In addition, I will go to press with tournament flyers, which will be mailed to past participants, for whom we have a current address.

Please do NOT start calling the Palace Station for hotel rooms, yet. Once the contract is signed, a Darters' Rate Reservation Code will be made available and will be included in all tournament publicity.

I am sorry that players may have assumed this would be the end of the Las Vegas Open. It has been VERY difficult to find a new location, with only 3-4 months notice. Affordable ballroom space is at a premium, these days, in Las Vegas!!!

As one of the few large steel-tip events remaining, in the Western U.S., I feel an obligation to keep the event running, at least for the next few years. I will need as much player support, as possible, to "break even", this year --- but, if it goes well, I hope to be able to negotiate a better deal for 2007.

Thank you for spreading the word that the Las Vegas Open will still be played, January 27 - 28- 29, 2006. If you wish further tournament information, via e-mail, please contact me at: dellafleetwood@yahoo.com
