What's happening with the Gin Rummy Association?

Non-Smoking Events!
Welcome to the Orleans Hotel & Casino!
NEW! $100 Credit for Referrals!

Non-Smoking Events

The Gin Rummy Association Tournaments are now NON SMOKING events. For those of you who smoke, there is a designated area outside the convention room.
The Gin Rummy Association will be charged for the Convention Space where the tournaments are held. The entry fees have been increased to 800. For the past 8 years the entry has remained the same.
The 20 per cent taken out for administrative fees will remain the same.
The GRA will supply coffee and soda, however, the cost of having food in the Gin room would be $20,000. It was suggested that we charge an extra fee to cover the food in the room, however, not everyone wants to eat the food supplied and would prefer having their own choice. The other problem is that many players have their wives, friends, etc. come in and watch. There is no way to police the food.
We have asked for low rates for the sleeping rooms and have been thankful that the Orleans has accommodated our players in this regard.
As we develop some history with the Hotel and Casino, perhaps we will be given some perks that we can then pass on to the Gin Rummy Association.

Welcome to the Orleans Hotel & Casino

The December Event was the final tournament to be held at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. While we are sad to leave the Riviera after having so many excellent tournaments there, we are thrilled at the prospect of continuing our tradition of superb tournaments at The Orleans Hotel and Casino. The Orleans has beautiful rooms and excellent suites. They will be offering Gin Rummy Players a discounted room rate during our tournaments. This offer is only given to us as a group. It is for this reason that we encourage our players to stay at the hotel. The hotel has excellent dining facilities, a large poker room, 18 screen movie theater, 70 lanes of bowling, superb table games, clear pools, and a large yet comfortable sports book area. We are very excited about the new facilities which we will have for our Gin Players! You will not be disappointed in our move!
