Great New Riviera Hotel & CasinoRoom Rate Specials for 2011The Riviera Hotel & Casino, the host location of the BCAPL National 8-Ball Championships is offering a special 3-tier room rate structure during the 35th BCAPL national event in May 2011. All rates allow up to four people per room & do not increase on Friday & Saturday nights.

When the internet rst became public almost a generation ago (yes it’s true...time ies) at rst we used it only for email and to be able to easily researchinformation. Then eCommerce and online shopping began. In the past couple of years SOCIAL MEDIA (Facebook, Twitter) and blogging has become the rage. Well CSI (and it’s divisions the BCAPL and USAPL) are getting more traction on Facebook and Twitter everyday. Soon we will be listing all BCAPL and USAPL Facebook and Twitter sites. Please send a link to your page and we will be happy to include it on the list and help promote your leaguleague. CSI Policy On Social Media Page Naming: When naming a league Facebook and / or Twitter page include your league’s location or full name . Do not use BCAPL, USAPL, BCA Pool, USA Pool, BCA Pool League or USA Pool League alone. These names would confuse readers thinking your page was the national office page. We will be adding this policy to our BCAPL league operator and USAPL league manager manuals.

$60 / Night x 8 Night Minimum - Perfect for all Players, Referees, Exhibitors & others who plan to attend most of the event. This special tournament rate is available until the normal reservations cut off date (4/12/11), or until group room nights begin to sell out.

$70 / Night Booked by January 31, 2011 - A great early bird special for everybodywho may not be there 8 nights but likes to save money and plan early.

$80 / Night Booked after January 31, 2011 - For all who make their reservationafter Jan. 31st and who are not planning to stay 8 or more nights..

Riviera Registered Guest Specials: All rate tiers will get the same 3 FREE SLOTTOURNAMENTS, food and drink specials, and other restaurant and show specials whichwere provided this year and also will continue in 2011!
