Turning Stone is right outside Syracuse, but it's kind of in the middle of nowhere. Getting to Syracuse by greyhound is probably easy, Getting to turning stone from there.... well idk.

I'm pretty sure an FTR member lives in Syracuse though, maybe you can plan to meet up with him. I think it's nutsinho

Yeah, after I posted that I was lookin around and I found a map and noticed it was right outside of Syracuse. I don't knoe the exact amount of people but I knoe there will be at least 3 or 4 others beside me so we will probably just grab a cab and split the cost. I heard it was about 15, 20 minutes.

There are also charter buses that run there but the days are kind of spourattic and Id rather just grab a cab then wait in a bus terminal for hours.

And im not sure nutsinho would want to roll with us we are all pretty young but i'll bring it up when its closer to the time we are heading down there.

Where do you live?
Nutsinho is in his early 20's I think.

Well, I found a bus that runs from downtown toronto to syracuse. 5 hours, costs about $100 round trip. I think thats american, so about $60 each way. The rest of the way from syracuse a cab will suffice.

I'll tell you right now, Greyhound is not even close to the cheapest bus fares.

yooooooo

let me know when you go as I have been looking for a reason to go play there for awhile and it would be fun to meet some FTR people.

Well I found a "trailways of new york" bus service thing, right from toronto to syracuse there and back $100 US. I dont think you can do much better than that, its a 5 hour trip. But if you are familiar with any other bus services give me a holler is love other opinions. Saving money is +EV.

Its going to be me and a few of my buddies. Id love to meet up with some FTR'ers too. Im going to call ahead and see what kind of deals they have on rooms, players rates, i know they have them but im not sure how much itll run me.

[sauce123]

yea ive been before so definitely call ahead and you can get a poker rate for 80 or less a night in the hotel/casino.

games r ridiculously soft running from 1/2 100max to 300 min 5/10 20 dollar bring in on fridays and with usual games being up to 5/5 nl usually. its a good time. Anyways, let me know when u r goin as I know a few other ppl who go there alot so it would be fun to coordinate a weekend. later. sauce

[Reidak]

Awesome thanks for extending the information. We are thinking late august/early september. No exact date yet. Has to be on or after the 28th of August however.

That rate is great. I wonder if it holds to that on the weekends when their rates jump. Whatever tho, im going to give them a call tommorow about it.

And i like my games soft, they are pitching this place as a resort type so theres probably a ton of business-type fish.

[IowaSkinsFan]

theres probably a ton of degenerate gamblers, rich college kids, people who have been up all night, and old guys who have no idea what they're doing fish.

I wanna go there but need to grind monies online to support the trip first...
