I'll be here with a few others. Even with the Blizzard a while back, we still had 27 games going. Gotta love poker players. I will say this though. We will have lights, air conditioning, good food, TV, and some good poker going on regardless.

I would assume that they would be flexible on cancellation deadlines, especially with a mandatory evacuation starting at 6AM Friday.

I just called the reservations line, and was told that they had not yet decided whether to close the casino for this weekend, and that they were still in a meeting. Calling the poker room directly got a statement that they were going to be open "as far as we know". Hopefully we there will be official/more accurate information from Stan here soon.

Does mandatory evac mean that they might not even open the roads for incoming traffic? Even if borgata stays open might it be impossible to get there tomorrow afternoon?

As of a story updated around 8PM:

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...5ac5c8686c4dff

Quote:

Some casinos were planning to close as early as 6 a.m. Friday, when a mandatory evacuation of Atlantic City was due to take effect. Others planned to wait for the result of a 2 p.m. meeting with emergency management officials on whether to shut down the nation's second-largest gambling market for the storm.

Article has no information on which casinos were planning on closing.

Stan and/or Tab, the after effects of Irene shouldn't affect the 1st week of the WPT Borgata events should it?
