it's called long term contracts. Internext appears to have signed a 5 year agreement with the Palms for the event, so they are sort of locked into the location. There is no way to address the shiteousness of the location or facilities because that is what they have to work with, hands tied.

The circle bar is tiny, the casino has a "locals" feel to it, and the show floor in a night club is a laughable concept. Doubly so because they more money you spend, they more you get to be alone (high up in the roller rooms, 3 or 4 floors up). The actual visible show floor is about the size of a hotel suite. The rest is walking up and down stairs, trying to find people - only to discover that the true "rollers" never go to the show, they are off eating at nice places, staying out all night partying, and sleeping all day. Want to do business? Between 3 and 5 AM is likely the best time.

I went last year for the first time in a few years (last one before that was at Mandalay) and I have to say I was very disappointed. It gave me plenty of time to play poker and pay the bills, but the ROI on the show was effectively nil. I can make more on ICQ.
