While at the Derby I dropped someone off at the airport and thought, hell I'll check out the old Executive West for kicks and memories. .
Very nice. I wonder whether Greg has talked to them recently.
I'd send these to him in case not, and in case the economics could work out. This would be so superior to Harrahs; space, location, ambiance.
While the remodel looks very nice, overall, I'm told they lost a lot of space for the Action Room and much of the upstairs. Greg wants to go bigger, not smaller.

Thanks for the photos Steve. Great memories. Sitting in that lobby and meeting Owen as he asked me if I wanted to buy Cliff's IOU's for 20 cents on the dollar! LOL!

Whilst we are on the topic of Derby City relocation, tell Greg to have a look at Owensboro, Kentucky. We just got done with a $200 million dollar facelift to our riverfront, including a brand new convention center and two new hotels. It would be PERFECT for the tournament.
Indeed, Owensboro hosted professional PBA and PBT tournaments in the late '80's through roughly 1996 in roughly the same location as the new convention center.
They actually gained a lot of space.
The area where the pool is, was nonexistent before and all the little rooms off the long hallway were combined into one big room.
Keone...you reminded me of a joke from a few years back at the DCC...it goes like this...
... it's Sat. morning at the DCC, and one guy says to a buddy of his when he walks into the cafe for breakfast: "You do any good last night" - his friend says: "yeah, I made $200"...first guy says: "yeah, how'd you make the $200?"...his friend answers: "Cliff asked me for $300, but I only gave him a hundred"........

That's priceless

Whats the closest airport terminal to Owensboro? Is it Louisville? I'd love to drink water from the same well that Nick drank from. Maybe it will wash off on me.
