COVID DISCLAIMER
As of right now, masks will be required for this event. This is a Harrah's policy and one that we would implement regardless of the venue's mandates in an effort to reduce the chances of COVID transmission. This may change by mid-September but best to prepare for this possibility. Additionally, there is always the possibility that the venue will close or require a limited number of people in the venue. If one of these occurs then we will reschedule the event for the same venue for a later time.
