APA World Qualifier Captains Guide Tournament Directors: Troy Myers & Joe Cabezas “SPORTSMANSHIP - # 1 PRIORITY” We will not tolerate any smart-remarks, name-calling, or intimidating behavior at the tournament site. Such action can get your team disqualified and your players suspended from playing in the APA. The moment someone from the opposing team is rude or acts up in any way, come see one of the Tournament Directors at the control counter. We will stop the problem before it goes any farther! Sportsmanship and fair play are our # 1 concerns in the APA. Team Leaders and fellow team members will be held responsible for the action of their teammates! If someone starts to act up, diffuse the situation before it escalates and get them out of the tournament facility. We’re here to assist you in any way possible. You can never play a match under protest! The moment a concern arises, politely stop the match and calmly come up to the control counter to get proper clarification and direction. If you continue the match in question, the match stands and no protest may be made at a later time! PROBLEMS - HOW TO PROPERLY HANDLE THEM Your team should not attempt to handle a match-play problem by itself. Temporarily stop the current match and explain the situation to a Tournament Director. The issue will be handled for you. Never argue with or confront the other team. Don’t worry about skill levels ... that’s our job! If you “perceive” that someone on the other team may be under-rated, do not come up to the control counter and bring it to our attention vocally, simply write a note on the back of your scoresheets and we’ll research the player, and if the complaint is substantiated, the team will be disqualified and your team may have another opportunity in the tournament (based upon when the team is actually disqualified). REFEREES - HOW TO PROPERLY USE THEM Never give the referees a hard time; they are responsible league members who are here to help you. Referees are only available for “Good Hit-Bad Hit” calls. They are instructed not to answer rules questions, so please verify all rules with a Tournament Director. Referees may be watching as many as four tables, and your team should call a “Referee Time-Out” in order to make sure that the referee has plenty of time to get into position and is able to find out which category of balls is being played. If you fail to do this, the referee may not be able to make the call properly. SCORESHEETS / SCOREKEEPING - CHECKING AND VERIFYING Skill levels can go up or down during this event.

    ONE TROP, LLC Marvin Lipschultz October 6, 2015 Jeff Lerud, P.E., CPM Senior Project Manager State of Nevada Department of Transportation 1263 S. Stewart St. Carson City, NV 89712 Re: One Trop, LLC 3111 W. Tropicana Ave. Las Vegas, NV APN#: 162-29-101-019 Dear Mr. Lerud: Pursuant to our meeting with you and the engineers at the Hampton Inn we are making a formal response to the proposed I-15/Tropicana Intersection conceptual plans. After reviewing your conceptual plans and overlaying the property lines, it shows our property is being reduced by over 30% in size. Moreover, we are losing a huge part of the south half. We are truly surprised why NDOT would not choose to contact us prior to starting any plans to get our input and find out what we have planned for the site. Prior to any notification from NDOT we have entered into a long-term 60-year commercial land lease to develop the property. The property is zoned H-1, MUD-1, Gaming Overlay. In the past we have had an unlimited gaming license in place and with the new development, it is preliminary, but will have a high-rise, full service hotel/casino/resort with unlimited gaming, race and sports book. In addition, and prior to any notice from NDOT we have entered into a long-term flag and management agreement. NDOT’s proposed conceptual plans make it impossible to develop our property to its highest and best use, and if implemented would render the entire site useless. Your conceptual design poses several problems to our development.

  • The Naming of Gaming
    The Naming of Gaming Pauliina Raento Academy of Finland and William A. Douglass University of Nevada, Reno The naming of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an essential ingredient in the design of the city's entertainment landscape. More than 300 names have been used in the naming of gaming in Las Vegas since 1955. They occur in seven dominant patterns: 1) luck and good fortune, 2) wealth and opulence, 3) action, adventure, excitement and fantasy, 4) geography, 5) a certain moment, era, or season, 6) intimacy and informal- ity, and 7) "power words" commonly used in the naming of businesses. The categories are described and analyzed from the perspective of the evolution of Las Vegas. Regional variations between the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and suburban Las Vegas are also discussed. The names provide a powerful means of evoking senses of place, images, and identities for the casinos. They underscore the interpretative subjectivity and plurality of the relationship between people and commercial urban environments. Introduction We name people, things, and places to distinguish them from one another and to give them character. Often the names are commemorative and draw upon features (usually positive) of individuals and places. Buildings, streets and towns are named after other familiar places, historical events, and distinguished persons who have played a notable role in the shared past. As an example of the latter, over one quarter of the roughly 3,000 counties in the United States are named patriotically, most often commemorating a political figure (Zelinsky 1983, 6). Names of streets and buildings in capital cities and other centers of importance have special prestige.

  • HOTELS with CASINOS
    05_089620_ch01.qxd 7/26/07 10:46 AM Page 36 PART ONE ACCOMMODATIONS and CASINOS WHERE to STAY: Basic Choices LAS VEGAS HAS AN ASTOUNDING INVENTORY of about 137,000 hotel rooms. Washington, D.C., by way of contrast has 31,000. Occu- pancy rates are over 98% on weekends and average 92% for the whole week, compared to a national average of 61%. By 2010 it’s projected that the number of rooms in Las Vegas will top 170,000. As the memorable line from Field of Dreams suggests, “If you build it, they will come.” THE LAS VEGAS STRIP AND DOWNTOWN FROM A VISITOR’S PERSPECTIVE, Las Vegas is more or less a small town that’s fairly easy to get around. Most of the major hotels and casinos are in two areas: downtown and on Las Vegas Boulevard, known as the Strip. The downtown hotels and casinos are often characterized as older and smaller than those on the Strip. While this is true in a general sense, there are both large and elegant hotels downtown. What really differentiates downtown is the incredible concentration of casinos and hotels in a relatively small area. Along Fremont Street, downtown’s main thoroughfare, the casinos present a continuous, dazzling galaxy of neon and twinkling lights for more than four city blocks. Known as Glitter Gulch, these several dozen gambling emporiums are sand- wiched together in colorful profusion in an area barely larger than a parking COPYRIGHTEDlot at a good-sized shopping mall. MATERIAL Contrast in the size, style, elegance, and presentation of the down- town casinos provides a varied mix, combining extravagant luxury and cosmopolitan sophistication with an Old West–boomtown deca- dence.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.
