It does seem that the "IN" crowd is privy to this information,long before the "rest of us". Otherwise,please explain how the entire host hotel is already booked,a week past this year's event? I do know that handlers and others "at the top" reserve blocks of rooms for their clientele and friends. But why is it they are the chosen ones that have this information way in advance? Hmmm,let me guess. Somehow,this elitist attitude doesn't jibe with the club members swearing that they NEVER are involved in anything elitist! The rest of us are given this information months from now. Can someone on the board explain this?
