ICGRT update

May 23rd, 2006 by Dave

I just finished presenting my paper “The Revolutionary Ridotto” at the International Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking, and I’ve got a little time to post an update. The conference is going very well–as always, I’m learning a great deal, and I’m sure everyone else is as well. For the carpet-curious, a late-night expedition last night resulted in photos from Harrah’s, Bill’s, Harveys, and the Horizon. If I have time over the weekend, I’ll add a gallery. I might make a trip up to North Lake Tahoe tomorrow.

    Try to get some unconverted Montbleu (nee Caesars) carpet too!
