Location

The Atlantis Ballroom - A Superior Gaming Venue

• One big 8000 sq ft room - No one will bump into each other during their games or face an annoying walk between rooms as all of the gaming action will be in one room with abundant space.
• Climate Controlled and comfortable - The Mermaid keeps the temperature at a cozy 72 degrees.
• Carpeted floors - It might not seem like much, but a day after standing on cheap linoleum, concrete or rotten wood can be a killer on the feet, not so at the North Star.
• Other Fun and Games - For those staying nearby or just not wanting to head right home to the wife after the gaming is over for the day, the Mermaid has a number of other things to keep any Gamer entertained: Bar, Restaraunt, Pool & Dart Room, and Bowling Lanes
• Free Parking - No long walks carrying your stuff or fights with other drivers for that last parking spot. There is plenty of free parking just feet away from the front door.
• No Bums - They have all been deported to Texas.
