Important Notes for Red Rock Players and Fans

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

From Tournament Director Ken Hackmeister:

Tim Lyon, who is currently in St. George, has given me some road construction info to be passed on to those coming to Red Rock this weekend.

Apparently, I-15 is undergoing significant construction between Mesquite, NV and St. George and, depending on the time of day, is causing some serious traffic delays. For those traveling to St. George via I-15 through Mesquite (from Las Vegas), plan accordingly.

A voice activated toll free number is available to check on road conditions 1-866-511-8824.

Remember there is a time change between Vegas and St. George. 9AM in Vegas is 10AM in St. George.

Drive carefully and allow some extra time to get there.
