Hi. We saw a lot of events like the International Youth Championship and the Women’s Open. Where are these tournaments held, and in what year are they going to be held, so that we can submit our information for the advance entries? Please let me know. Thank you.
The US Women’s Open is June 14-15, 2023 and the International Youth Championships is June 17-18, 2023. Both events will be at the Rio Resort and Casino.
Registration is now open.
Just confirming that the Walter Brown Blitz Tournament is on Sunday, right? I remember that it is usually on Sunday but in the info about the blitz, it is listed to be on Saturday, the 17th…although in your schedule of events, it is on Sunday.
The Walter Browne Blitz is on Saturday, June 17th at 9:00 p.m.
The schedule page has been corrected.
Is the $40 early bird returning player discount for any National Open returning players or just for previous year’s players?
Anyone who has played in the last 10 years is eligible for the early bird discount.
Great, thank you. Very encouraging to play.
I got the email today and am looking at the room rates. Your hotel page says resort fee is substantially discounted to $15. The linked booking page says $15, but when you click the information “I” it says $17.01 resort fee. What’s the extra $2.01?
Can guests opt out of the resort fee if they don’t want internet, gym, shuttle services?
Most Vegas hotels are charging resort fee these days, and none of them are optional.
Little searching and I think I answered my question. $2.01 is tax on $15 resort fee?
Hi,
On this page, https://www.vegaschessfestival.com/hotel/, I tried clicking on the link “WIN A FREE HOTEL STAY DURING THE CHESS FESTIVAL!” but the link doesn’t work.
The link is for last year’s promotion. We will be offering the same raffle this year. Watch this space.
Hi,
At the bottom of this page, https://www.vegaschessfestival.com/national-open/, it still lists the Westgate as the hotel.
Thank you for pointing this out. It was wrong on the bottom of EVERY page.
It is correct now.
