One can only dream.

Every time the tournament is held in Vegas, the numbers are huge.  There are also
a tremendous number of tournaments that would use that site.

It would be the smartest thing the USBC has done in quite some time. I don't think the east coast guys would complain as much if it were in Vegas. I know personally that I haven't been the last 2 years because the host city didn't interest me. Nothing to do with the trip or travel

I deally I would like to see a rotation with extra stops in Vegas. Maybe something like Vegas, Seattle, Chicago, Vegas, NY, Orlando, Vegas....repeat.

Seems to me that a stadium setting in Vegas could eventually hurt Reno.  I think many people who have substantial travel expenses to go to Nevada might well opt to skip Reno and go only on the years the Open would be in Vegas.  Personally, it makes no difference to me since after 6 trips to Reno I don't inend to ever go back and will be way too old to bowl at the earliest date they could go back to Vegas.  My Open days are over after 20 tournaments.

I am one that will go to the Nationals no matter where it is hosted. I would not want to see a rotation of three locked sites such as Reno, Vegas and Orlanda, but I would go either way. I enjoy the challenge and on the amatuer side of things is a great place to make a few dollars.

On Reno, the one positive I think can be said of the city is that no other city in America supports our sport more than they do. They built the stadium and now are going to invest millions on improvements and renovations. I know it is a selfish adventure for them, but in the end I don't see a stadium being built in Arlington near Jerry's World and the Ballpark or any other city. Orlando keeps tossing out the possibility, but don't see any action.

While Vegas would be better than Reno, the USBC would be ignorant if they think that would make up for not having the event on the East coast.  It has been 9 years since Knoxville and 13 years since Syracuse.

I don't know why they don't look into Atlanta.  It is a major airport hub and one of the main convention locations in the country.  It would make sense.

I think you could have it an New York and the numbers wouldn't go up that much.  The economy still sucks and people can't afford it.  I think people forget that fact.

My wife and I go to Atlanta every year because we are Braves fans and there is lots to do there for tourist.
