the ole double post.... ugh. heading to vegas Wed for meetings and a tiny bit of poker

Hey no rush! You already seem more involved in the poker community than anyone from the other NH rooms being on 2+2 and communicating with future customers and all. I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait GL in Vegas.

Drove by earlier. Looks like there's still alot of work to do.

Shame to see Rockingham torn down.

the actual work is the easiest and fastest part of the project. pushing paper and permits by far hardest and slowest part of every job...

Dan, is that pic on the Cheers Facebook page what the place will look like?

yes, with the exception there will be many TV's all over the room. the photo is from Borgata where all the TVs are too small and too high. I will correct that in the Cheers room

played with Mason Malmuth last night...... told him Lattimer best mod on all the forums..

I think I might have dealt to you at Bellagio.

cool.......... I was the one playing 96% of hands.....LOL I kept telling Mason try to un-see what your watching because my fold button won't develop for another 2 days or so..... I love having a guy that's written books on Poker sitting right next to me and I'm playing every hand. Stack toggling between $3000 and $200...........

played with Roy Cooke Thursday and Friday. another poker pro and writer... very nice guy, had fun playing with him. Love Bellagio

Trip report ?

I think I dealt to you before all this, table 26 right by sportsbook. We chatted about Foxwoods.
Was it you wearing a yellow polo with Cheers embroidery on left chest side?

Lets go Puck! Stop rubbing elbows with pokers b and c list celebs and get this room open! I had to drive 45 minutes to play poker last week! the humanity!

yup, that was me....

..... working trip.....by day, little felt time by night...

Cheers Poker Room & Casino update. June 11, 2017. On March 15, the town of Salem voters voted 83% in favour to rezone a section of town and allow the Cheers room to legally exist. At that point in time, the process was to complete the local permitting process that ALL businesses in Salem are required to undertake before opening. The largest and final hurdle is site plan review via the Planning Board. This is a massive undertaking in which access, traffic, infrastructure, building plans and layout, signage, lighting, all must be engineered and shown on a plan. In January, hedging on winning the vote, and long before the town vote I signed all the engineering contracts and started funding this process. The (multiple engineers) were in agreement that we could make the first meeting in May. Due to the complex nature of being on the state road along with antiquated infrastructure in that end of town, they did not meet the January deadline. However, this past Friday, June 9, our massive Planning Board package was accepted by the town and the meeting is scheduled for June 27. The bylaw states no construction can begin until Planning Board has approved the site plan. On June 1 we got the keys to our office building next door at 284 N. Broadway. We will be in that building painting and cleaning up this week and should have office hours before the end of the month for employment and charity interviews and documentation. The entire process is extremely long and very complicated. It was not expected. It’s also a very busy economy for engineers and contractors and all are lagging and somewhat off in schedule. We changed our opening date to summer 2017 to reflect the fact that everyone involved and going to be involved is very busy and in the height of their season. WE foresee no surprises that would cause a delay at this point, only grinding out the permits, engineering and construction. I encourage people to show up at the Planning Board meeting. Feel free to contact me with questions. * I will be in NJ at the end of the week for seminar with the Bravo Poker people….dd

Big steps Puck. Drove by the spot the other day looks huge! Are you planning on doing any exterior renovation (i.e., remove the massive doors/loading dock). That parking lot is big too. Needs a lot of lighting and some security cameras, but all in all this site is a gem. Can't wait for it to open.

+1 on security.. Only takes one incident and its talked about for years and people wont play there

Dan, I know you said summer, but do you have a target date in mind to open?

no...can't narrow it down....100% out of my hands and in the town boards, misc random permits

A lighting plan is mandatory as part of the permit process. We will go further than what is mandated to make it as illuminated as possible. On all our projects, I use the ........... would I feel safe with this lighting, type of approach and bring it to that standard..

About time broke living JRB got himself a real job...

Hey Bugsyyy! Are you up for PLO @ Hampton Falls tonight? The game ran last Friday and I'm hoping for the same tonight.

I'll buy you an ice cream if you show up!
