The Pool Scene - Billy Thorpe, Corey Deuel, Shane Van Boening, Skyler Woodward, Tyler Styer - Mosconi Cup

New Post on https://thepoolscene.com/?p=55369

The Top Pool Tournaments in Las Vegas

This November, Las Vegas will again host the Mosconi Cup. It is one of the most prestigious pool competitions in the world, and it attracts a big audience. Team USA will come in as defending champs, after they beat Team Europe last December in London’s Alexandra Palace. The win broke an eight-year losing streak for the Americans, who were represented by Skyler Woodward, Billy Thorpe, Tyler Styer, Shane van Boening, and Corey Deuel. The Las Vegas return of the Mosconi Cup will be a fitting end for a year of world-class pool in the US. It also sets up 2020 nicely. Next year will be full of top-level tournaments, with Vegas hosting quite a few of them. The five below are the ones you should look out for.

BCA Pool League World Championships The BCA Pool League World Championships, hosted annually by the Billiard Congress of America (BCA), will be held from March 11–21, at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. In the previous years it was held in July, at the height of summertime (a change that has gotten the thumbs up from players, likely because they’ll get to enjoy Las Vegas’ attractions afterwards). From next year until 2022 it will be held every March, before moving to February starting in 2023. Like last year, the 2020 edition will also feature the $100,000 Predator World 10-Ball Championship and the $25,0000 Diamond Las Vegas Open. US Open 9-Ball Championship The US Open 9-Ball Championship is the most prestigious 9-ball tournament in all of pool. The battle for the green blazer in 2020 will start in April 13, and last until April 18. It will be held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Convention Center, with a stacked field of 256 players. A total of $375,000 worth of prizes is up for grabs, along with that coveted green blazer. Tickets have been on sale since September, a full seven months before the championship. VNEA World Championships The annual VNEA World Championships has traditionally been one of the biggest pool events in the US, with six divisions (Sports, Redemption, Regular, Resurrection, Intermediate, and Masters) and over 20 different match categories. The matches will be played at Bally’s Hotel & Casino, and many of the world’s best amateur players are likely to play. Of note the Valley Manufactures League Tables is celebrating its 40th anniversary next year. So, expect VNEA to offer a few surprises to make this tournament a memorable one. APA Poolplayer Championships The American Poolplayers Association, founded in 1981, is the biggest sanctioning body for recreational pool in the US. Every year it hosts the APA Poolplayer Championships, with the highlight being the 8-Ball Classic and 9-Ball Shootout. It will be held from April 29 to May 3, at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Both have tiers for varying skill levels. The champion in each tier at the 8-Ball Classic and 9-Ball Shootout will receive $15,000 and $10,000 in cash, respectively. In addition the APA Poolpayer Championships also features the 8-Ball Doubles, 9-Ball Doubles, and Wheelchair Championships. UPA National Championships The 7th edition of the annual UPA National Championships will be held from June 22 to 28, at the Binion’s Casino in Fremont. Organized by the United States Professional Poolplayers Association, this tournament offers a prize fund of $20,000, with the winner of the 9-Ball Bar Box Championship getting $5,000 and the winners of the Ball Team Championships sharing $5,000. There’ll be a welcome party, mini-tournaments, challenge matches, and raffles, too. Pool and casino: A perfect pairing The above tournaments are all being held in casinos, which shows how closely aligned pool has become with Vegas’ top entertainment venues. In a Las Vegas Review-Journal analysis of the Vegas economy economic analyst Jeremy Aguero claims that Sin City is “on track to become [the] sports and entertainment capital of the world.” Las Vegas has also become a go-to venue for prestigious sporting events, like the aforementioned pool tournaments as well as MMA and other combat sport PPV events. This transformation comes at a perfect time, as gaming revenue in Las Vegas has been lukewarm in recent years. Casinos, in particular, have been affected. This is due in part to the rise of online gaming and how it has managed to evolve with technology in order to connect people from around the world. This is especially true of poker, which has always been seen as one of Vegas’ top draws. In BagoGames’ review of PPPoker they explain how the app is available in over 100 countries and allows players to create their own private online social clubs. This has meant that players of all levels are able to have a digital experience similar to the much more exclusive poker clubs in Vegas. In turn, this has led to a drop in visitors and an increased reliance on prestigious sports tournaments, like the above, to generate revenue and visitor numbers. As such the partnership between pool and casinos has taken on greater significance. The good news is that this means there will be plenty more top-level pool tournaments next year and in the future. And we will be covering them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: PRIVATE PROPERTY PARKING MANAGEMENTOMAHA NE

How long can a car be parked on a residential street?

Local Laws on Abandoned Vehicles. Your first task is to check local rules regarding vehicle parking on city streets (or county roads, depending on where you live). Almost all cities prohibit leaving any vehicle parked on a city street too long—often defined as more than 72 hours.

Can police tow your car from private property?

Yes. It's the same right any property owner has to remove unauthorized cars parked on their home driveway. If your car was towed from private property, under common law the tow company cannot refuse to release the vehicle until you pay their fees.

Can you have a car towed for parking in front of your house?

If the vehicle is parked in a public right-of-way, a person needs to call the public official of the location to have it removed. On a residential property, it can be towed immediately. That means, if you are the one with the car blocking your driveway, you can call the tow company and have it removed immediately.

Can my landlord tow my car?

The basics of this part of the new law are that landlords have new rights to tow vehicles on private property. Law is here. If the property has a properly posted sign indicating their policy, the landlord can have unauthorized vehicles towed at the owner's expense without having the vehicle ticketed.

Las Vegas to welcome 2019 with superstars, fireworks show

LAS VEGAS — No other city does New Year’s Eve like Las Vegas.

Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Gwen Stefani are among the superstars who will be ushering in the new year with performances at venues on the Las Vegas Strip, while more than 300,000 people are expected to gather on the world-famous corridor Monday to watch eight minutes of fireworks.

At another celebration in the downtown Fremont Street entertainment district, 12 bands will play under a massive video canopy that will show the ball drop in New York’s Time Square.

“The only thing that can top Las Vegas is Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve,” said Jacqueline Peterson of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “The city continues to evolve itself. We never run out of things to do.”

Gaga’s New Year’s Eve concert at Park Theater at Park MGM casino-resort will be the third of her long-anticipated residency, which will debut Friday. Veteran Las Vegas performer Celine Dion will be at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and Maroon 5 will celebrate the holiday once again at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

Stefani will take the stage at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood casino-resort as part of the residency she kicked off this year. Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers and J. Cole are among those performing at nightclubs.

While Las Vegas is known as a place for last-minute trips, tourists who want to ring in 2019 here should act fast. Tourism officials expect 318,000 people to travel to Sin City for the holiday and nearly all the city’s more than 147,000 hotel rooms to be booked.

“Now is the time to do it,” Chris Baldizan, senior vice-president of entertainment booking and development at MGM Resorts International, said about booking a trip for the holiday. But “we’ll always find a spot for somebody.”

New Year’s Eve is worth an estimated $403 million to Las Vegas, according to the convention and visitors authority, which is responsible for promoting the destination.

In addition to concerts with tickets on sale for the general public, casino operators also host over-the-top private parties for their VIP guests.

Caesars Entertainment hosted nine of those last year, which included DJs, dancers, fireworks shows, thousands of bottles of champagne and performances by Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez and other stars. Five hangover brunches were served the next morning.

Unlike the two previous years, New Year’s Eve falls on a weekday. Casino operators say the Monday celebration is a positive because it gives people a reason to stay beyond a typical weekend trip.

“It just means that more of our guests are coming in even earlier to spend more days celebrating in this great tradition,” said Chris Holdren, executive vice-president and chief marketing officer for Caesars Entertainment. “So, they may come in, spend the weekend and extend it to encompass the great holiday.”

Everything You Need to Know About the $100 Million Kind Heaven at Linq Promenade

Caesars Entertainment, Jane’s Addiction front man Perry Farrell and other collaborators have announced an ambitious, $100 million project for the Linq promenade on the Las Vegas Strip, Kind Heaven.

Since we know how you like to skim, we’re going to cut through the WTF and sum the project up in a way its development team and other publications have not: In English.

Kind Heaven is an Asian-themed walk-through attraction with music festival roots.

Don’t say we never did anything for you.

Prediction: Best-selling item in the Kind Heaven gift shop will be mosquito repellent.

Yes, it’s a bit more complicated than that, but that’s the essence of Kind Heaven. The details range from breathtakingly original to laughably absurd.

Kind Heaven is a little bit theme park, a little bit interactive theater, all wildly original for Las Vegas, and the entire concept is based upon a dream. More on that in a moment.

The intention is for Kind Heaven to be a unique experience, and from what’s been shared, it could actually end up being just that. It could also be a colossal disaster, which is part of what makes it so exciting.

Let’s dive into this whimsically weird attraction set to open in 2019 in Las Vegas.

Kind Heaven’s logo features a number of symbols, all of which have growths which should probably be looked at by a physician.

The project is being put together by a powerhouse team of creative minds and Caesars Entertainment. That may have come out wrong.

Aside from Perry Farrell (founder of the Lollapalooza music festival), there’s also Cary Granat, co-founder and CEO of Immersive Artistry. Granat is also the former CEO of Walden Media (which produced the “Chronicles of Narnia” film series) and was formerly the president of Miramax.

Also on the team is visual effects pioneer, Ed Jones. Jones was involved with blockbuster films like “The Empire Strikes Back,” “Indiana Jones” and “E.T.” He’s the president of Immersive Artistry.

So, there are some creative minds at work on the Kind Heaven project.

The driving force, though, is Perry Farrell. He’s the one whose dream inspired Kind Heaven.

Farrell says that in his dream, he “descended upon an imaginary city from the sky and watched a girl pickpocket someone who was passed out on the street.”

It takes a true visionary to have a dream and say, “That’s a $100 million idea right there!”

Let us introduce you to Perry Farrell, the man once voted “Least Likely to Ever Work With Caesars Entertainment, Ever.”

From there, back in 2014, Farrell tried to develop an “EDM-driven immersive theatrical production” called “Kind Heaven.” That show, which was intended for Las Vegas, never became a reality, but the Kind Heaven dream apparently lived on. Read more in Rolling Stone.

The specifics of Kind Heaven aren’t easy to pin down, but that’s probably because its developers haven’t quite sorted everything out yet.

What we do know is Kind Heaven will be located at the Linq promenade shopping center. The pedestrian mall is anchored by the world’s tallest Ferris wheel, the High Roller. And In N Out.

Kind Heaven will cover a whopping 100,000 square feet of space with 40 food stations and bars. Hint: That’s a lot.

Bonus points if your first thought was “Blade Runner”!

Kind Heaven will “transport visitors to Southeast Asia” via a “virtual train” and is set to feature holographic special effects, streetscapes and holy temples in Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal and Hong Kong.

According to Cary Granat, the venue will feature music from 130 artists on five stages. Hey, we said it’s whimsical.

Farrell will curate the “audio soundscape” for Kind Heaven, because why would you ever want to just call something what it is? This is art, that’s why.

When “Jubilee” opened in Las Vegas, there was a worldwide rhinestone shortage. With Kind Heaven, look forward to a worldwide monk robe shortage.

Kind Heaven will be family-friendly by day and adults-only at night. According to Farrell, the adults-only part will presumably include “street walkers, nightclubs and sake bombs.”

We’ll see how much of that makes it through Caesars Entertainment’s notoriously stifling review and approval process.

Perry Farrell has provided some of the most vivid (and confounding) descriptions of the attraction.

He told Billboard, “You’re basically walking through a 90-minute show routed in mythology and original content. When you’re within the complex, you’re free to roam around and discover hidden alleyways, visit nightclubs and eat from Hong Kong-style street food vendors. There will be improvisational actors, musicians, acrobats and comedians, combining elements of sensuality and espionage into an experience that will be a first of its kind.”

Think Fremont Street Experience, but rather than downtown’s casino “theme,” an Asian one.

No, really.

Live musical performances on multiple stages (three on Fremont Street, five at Kind Heaven), street performers, bars and restaurants, roaming and exploring, sensuality and immersion.

Oh, and let’s not forget, ziplines. Caesars Entertainment announced its Fly Linq project back in November 2017.

You think we’re kidding about Fremont Street being the inspiration for Kind Heaven? They even included a vagrant in their rendering!

Not happening. Unlike Fremont Street, Linq promenade is private property.

Full disclosure: We work in digital marketing at Fremont Street Experience, and worked in marketing at Caesars Entertainment as well back in the day. God, we feel old.

Here are some other notable features of the Kind Heaven attraction:

Kind Heaven is specifically intended to appeal to Millennials.

It will be cashless. Our first experience with a similar cashless system was at Rock in Rio USA, the music festival held at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds across from SLS Las Vegas. Event organizers love RFID wristband payment systems because they help avoid employee theft and there’s a windfall from the “breakage.” Read more.

The attraction will accept digital currencies like Bitcoin.

It will feature “wearable tech.”

The exact location of Kind Heaven isn’t entirely clear at this juncture, but it’s likely to span the space between Flamingo and the Linq hotel.

The attraction will be open to people of all ages from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., close for three hours and re-open for those 21 and older.

The venue will have a “Dynamo” stage with a capacity of 1,000 people for concerts.

Objects inside the attraction will have RFID tags, and everything will be for sale. Well, almost everything. Farrell says, “Everything that you see, except for my wife, is for sale.”

Fun game! See if you can spot the drama. Answer below.

There may be holographic porn. Farrell says he’d like to have a holographic porn of himself. We are not making this up. Read more.

The venue will feature virtual monkeys that wrestle each other, robotic chickens and 20-foot snake. Guests will presumably be able to wager on the matches.

It will take 18 months of construction.

Kind Heaven will create 200 construction jobs.

The attraction will employ 670, exclusive of the holographic monkeys.

“Honey, she’s a friend from work!”

There have been conflicting reports about how many stories Kind Heaven will take up, ranging from three to five to seven.

Specifics of three levels of Kind Heaven have been shared, though.

Level one is a night market. On this level, at a bar called The Dispensary, guests will be able to order feelings. That is absolutely not a typo. We trust one of the feelings will be “WTF?”

Level two is The Forest, with lost temples and cities, tree houses and lush vegetation. Millennials love their vegetation lush.

Level three is The Sanctuary. This level will be above the Vortex (that colorful, tornado shaped structure at Linq hotel). This area is likely to feature EDM.

And more drama!

Matt Goss’ girlfriend is not pleased.

And while we’re on the subject, Matt Goss is everywhere at Kind Heaven. Remember that rendering of “The Forest”?

The one thing we know for sure about Kind Heaven is Matt Goss is getting a lot of tail.

Yep, Matt Goss and friends.

There’s a small chance this isn’t actually Matt Goss. Would it kill you to just play along, or at least pretend you know who Matt Goss is?

As we’re taking a closer look at the Kind Heaven renderings, we would like to also point out there’s more drama lurking in the forest image.

You were so busy worrying about Matt Goss, you didn’t notice this situation developing nearby.

And don’t get us started about what else is going on in The Forest!

The jealous confrontation in the bar has apparently resulted in the scorned woman having her leg amputated!

When they said there would be danger at Kind Heaven, they weren’t kidding.

That just about covers what we know about Kind Heaven, and we’re exhausted.

So, can a $100 million, Asian-themed attraction based upon a dream thrive on the Las Vegas Strip? We hope so.

Doesn’t Disneyland feels like a dream made real? Come to think of it, doesn’t Las Vegas?

We’ve heard convincing arguments from industry insiders saying Kind Heaven is set to be the biggest game-changing success in the history of Las Vegas. We’ve heard equally compelling arguments Kind Heaven will be the biggest flop in the history of Las Vegas.

Here’s what we think.

Casinos are scrambling to draw the next generation of Las Vegas visitors. Skill-based slot machines, cornhole and eSports are feeble, fruitless attempts at doing so.

With Kind Heaven, Caesars Entertainment is being bold and Las Vegas was built on audacity.

Here’s hoping the dream that is Kind Heaven pays off, because when bold wagers come through in Las Vegas, we all win.
