It may be closed now, but I find it interesting that Grand Villa's sister casino in WEM has a poker room. Do they really want the Grand Villa to fail?

Has there been any hype or attention for PBR?
What about 'Novemberfest' in ICE?

Had some photos sent around of the crowd at PBR. Extremely low attendance it seems.

Crazy the lack of marketing compared to what the World Juniors did with constant radio ads and billboards all over the city.

Concerts, hockey games and other events get a lot of advertising.

The WEM poker room is closed. Our Casino advisor said they did not have the high rollers needed.

It's been on the news a few times. A more pertinent question is who pays for the advertising/marketing for that event - PBR or OEG? If it's the PBR then I would say the lack of 'advertising' is the result of budget.

Speaking of looking good for the Juno’s… LRT side of the building has looked like shit for months now…

oh boy hahaha... gasoline.

The last seven All-Star Games have all been in Florida, Nevada, Missouri, California and Tennessee, fueling speculation that the NHL and its players prefer the event be held in warmer climates, but Bettman pushed back against that.
"What's wrong with coming up here [to Edmonton] in January? This is a place where hockey matters. Our players love to be in places where hockey matters and I don't see it to be an issue at all in terms of bringing an All-Star Game here," he said.

Yeah! Florida's beaches don't hold a candle to our beach in the Waterpark.
