casino right? so no kids classes? the tournaments are held in banquet rooms are they not? I live in reno. kids are allowed anywhere in a casino/resort except on directly on the gaming floor! dont know about Oregon but I know lake tahoe should be the same. not being a smart alec but just trying to get kids more involved.

[Brandon Dye]

i think they are pretty strict on the no kids rules at oregon, i know from experience

[Jacob Abbott]

Kida are allowed, just not in the casino. They have to be walked in by security

[Leonard Harkless]

We are not running kids classes but not because of the Casino. It is about time. We already have alot of classes, sorry. They can be in the hall where we compete. ;D

[Willie Reagan]
