Ok, how about an Atlanta, GA Big Smoke! It's road trip worthy for us Florida folks. All these west coast, mid west and northern Big Smokes are to distant for those of us living in the South east. I know plenty who would attend!!
I would say a Big Smoke Schedule that consisted of maybe 5 stops, ending in LV.
Stop one: Orlando/Miami- There are so many nice hotels or ballrooms that would hold the event and with that in mind, i dont know if the smoking restrictions would matter.
2: Atlanta or Dallas- Somewhere that could accomodate a nice chunk of people with a nice smoking friendly environment.
3: Phoenix- What more is there to say about this AWESOME city.
4: LA- Yes Cali has a smoking ban, but the smoking crowd in LA is HUGE!!! Celebs, stars, sports, you name it, they smoke.

Seriously, what do you think of a Southern Big Smoke location? Specifically, Nashville or perhaps Atlanta?
Nashville was an RTDA convention site a few years back. Looks like it would work.
Or, if I can't have Nashville, maybe just a response to my original question regarding Big Smoke locations/tenative dates for 2006, if available?
Sorry--didn't mean to upset you!
We've had Big Smokes in Atlanta before, so it's possible that we could return. This is something that our Events Department is working on right now. We'll see what they come up with soon.

As far as the next LVBS, i would love to be a part of this event. I have some great ideas that would be able to please all sorts of people. But more so, i say a different Hotel. the Wynn or Bellagio would be awesome. Something upscale with TONS of rooms. Something where CA could have the resturants set up special cigar tables for diners to smoke while watching the Fountains at Bellagio or something along those lines.
Maybe a Winter and Summer event. I can only imagine what a LVBS would be poolside during the day. Sun, Drinks, Cigars... GIRLS... only in Paradise (or LV)

Yeah. If they do hold one in Atlanta and they don't plan it during a Braves home stand, that would be a total F'Up.

Oh, honey, you didn't upset me! I was just messing with you. Didn't you see the wink?
I would love to see more Southern events, though! Please use all your power, prestige and authority to make that happen.
How about Detroit? We've already had the All Star Game and the Super Bowl is coming up. There are quite a few places to set this up. It would be nice to chalk up one more event in the area.
