So I'll give the OP that one, but Doyle doesn't really scale very well, and I don't really understand what this has to do with the main question of a poker-themed hotel. Maybe there's two or three other poker players who would raise similar, limited interest, though I doubt it. And after Doyle does his signing, then what?
Then the poker themed hotel could let it be known that there would be 3 poker celebs a week coming for meet and greets for the next 26 weeks. The hotel could then possibly use same basic schedule beginning 26 weeks later. So the whole year would be covered.
