Look for USBC to go back to LAS VEGAS after the El Paso stop. It appears one of the Casinos is building a big enough venue to host the Nationals and it is a possibility this could be a rotating stop..................With regards to stops in cities where the Tourney has been held previously, Cities with venues large enough to host the tourney are NOT bidding on the tournament because they must give up a convention center for up to 8 months. The tourney starts in Feb and ends in July. Include the setup and time to dismantle and its 8 months. Reno continues to offer the biggest discounts as a host. If you also go back and look at the attendance for the USBC, Reno still receives the most entries along with Vegas. The in between stops like Albuquerque, Corpus Christi etc all fall off the pace with an average of 10,000 teams versus Reno with 14,000 to 17,000 teams. That's an average of 20,000 to 35,000 more bowlers attending the tourney when its in one of the Casino cities. The Orlando venue does not appear to be large enough to handle the Nationals. That's a shame. We could have had a stop on the East Coast.
