Monte Carlo NFR Regional,

December 5th

.

For those of you who heard about our "Health Department Challenge", it was Much Ado About Nothing". It's the same Health Department, Rules and Inspectors that we had at the Tropicana. There are no problems. The Special Events Coordinator for Monte Carlo thought they wanted the names of all the cooks, when what they wanted was People's Choice cooks. However, I like having all the online registrations... It makes planning so much easier.

.

The site has been moved to pool side! Danielle just sent directions. Capt Jim & Willma's motor home will be parked in that area and the judging tent will be up for registration, so you can't miss it:

From Las Vegas Blvd.,

Go West on Rue de Monte Carlo (Road between Monte Carlo and NYNY)

Take a right (north) between the parking garage and The hotel

Take your second right after the stop sign

.

From the Hotel elevators

Go through the hotel lobby towards the escalators

GO through glass doors

.

The pool area is enclosed, so setting up Friday (after 3p) should be OK. There will be flat bed carts to take your stuff inside the pool area, after which you will need to move your vehicle into one of the parking areas. There is plenty of parking in the same area as the "Cowboy's Trucks & Trailers" for oversized vehicles and anyone else who wants to park there.

.

Randy Travis will not able to judge because he arrives at 10 p.m., we will have NFR riders walking around tasting chili and taking pictures. That was a surprise we were hoping to toss in. However, he will be performing Sunday in case any of you are staying over.
