The "normal" destination is Nebraska followed by a car show. This year it is Bville...no car show.

Yeah, I saw that too. Wait till they have to drive on to the salt, bet half of them wont. Also saw on the HAMB yesterday someone couldn't find rooms, he had called the 4 big casino and they were all booked. It's the 60th anniversary too!!

Yes I did.......at the Super 8. All they had left was a couple of smoking rooms when we called at 8AM Jan 1. I tried at 4:00 am and the night clerk could not take reservations, call back at 8. Had to let the phone ring forever, then the gal says " why didn't you get room when you were here in Aug of 2007", told her we tried and you wouldn't take res then. No she said we try to take care of our regular customers. WTF!!!

Just like BTT50, the event is getting to big!!!
