Just spotted Wayne Williams in the room.Attending the event. Had a quick chat and he thanked me for posting in the forum he was here. Said he didn't need that shit and asked me to tell everyone he is staying at the MGM Grand not here. Also asked if I could advise Ginge that he has always paid for his own hotels.
In all fairness he was not upset and took it in good spirits. Actually seems a decent guy.
Is that 3 days in a row now hes been there? for a small PDC event which had unknown Americans in for the first 3 days, someone who has no love for the PDC, who is glad he is out of it all and who is an out of work decorator, hmmm. I know I am out on my own here but must be more to it.
He might remember one of the Canadians.

Tbf I wouldn’t mind an afternoon session, afternoons in Vegas this time of year are for shows and staying out of the sun (Mack king is great for anyone there)
But yeah I’m not spending an evening in Vegas watching darts

About to say, its 40 degrees outside in July in the daytime, not that pleasant. Couple of afternoons watching darts doesnt seem that bad tbf.

So how many hours was it from start of Price v Mawson to Baggish bagging the trophy.
I think ssjsa might need a holiday after this marathon.

Never stayed there, mate. Bit of a maze inside though, much more so than many of the others. Had brunch at the buffet in there, which was very pleasant.

He was sat with Jeff and Jim Widmayer throughout the day I attended Lakeside in the 2016 World Trophy as well.
