wow. imagine someone running a funnel and tube down from their room and into the pool at THIS hotel. count me in for that action if it happens.
"I'll admit I had an OiNK account and frequented it quite often… What made OiNK a great place was that it was like the world's greatest record store… iTunes kind of feels like Sam Goody to me. I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want." - Trent Reznor

You know, this just gave me an idea.
When I was in college, we made a four-storey yard of ale. This basically involved a standard yard glass, big metal funnel, and a garden hose. The principles behind its operation are probably self-explanatory, and not entirely disanalogous to the concept of drinking from a firehose. What I can't adequately describe here is the 'oh-shit-here-it-comes-no-wait-not-yet' air of anticipation and trepidation while air is displaced out of the hose (with accompanying sounds) before the beer makes it to the other end.
Now imagine the same idea only making use of the Rivera's greater height. Sure, the liquid's only going to move at the same speed, but the increases in volume possible with greater hose length could add a new dimension to the game.
We'll also need a disclaimer to hand to the participants: "Not to be used as a substitute for bathing or showering."
Edit: I called the Riviera. They didn't have exact figures to hand, but estimated the height of the main tower at around 230 to 250 feet. This could be interesting.

230-250 feet > 7010.40 - 7620.00 cm
Garden hose: 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch "inner diameter" -> 1.270cm to 1.9050 cm
Vcyl= h * (pi) * r2
V= 8880.555 cm3 (low end, 1/2 inch inner diameter hose, to 230 feet)
V= 21718.74 cm3 ("upper" end 3/4 inch "inner diameter" to 250 feet.)
[MAX,MIN] = [19.695743 pounds, 48.7435164 pounds]
The actual MAX could be much higher, since hoses are not rigid, but often expand with pressure. Assuming the hose, nozzle, seals at linkages don't burst or break as a result of the weight of the hose+fluid, the bottom part of the hose would have enough pressure to expand the internal diameter of the bottom of the hose even more to allow a greater volume of booze, which adds more weight and pressure, and may increase the volume a little more, which will...
There is a limit. It depends on the strength of the hose, the humidity (maybe) and the temperature.
I did similar math, and got results that were pretty close to that. You're not the only one who was surprised.

True, and remember also that the entire inner volume of the hose won't be filled - just whatever capacity gets poured into it and comes barreling down.
I had also thought about doing a beer shower or sprayer using this method, but that probably wouldn't be as entertaining.
If this happens, someone get it on video.
Already inspected and priced out hoses this afternoon; just figuring out how best to do it.

I nominate DC719. If they can do a 35 foot beer bong, this should be no problem.
Now how about filling a barrel full of dr pepper and dropping a coffee can of Mentos into a tiny hole in the top? Can we make a fountain to reach the top of the tower?

...the world may never know....
and what does "Riviera is the hotel from Casino" actually mean anyway?
other question...does % of alcohol go higher the faster it is traveling? <g>

What a waste of alcohol. Where I come that could be considered alcohol abuse.
No way! Actually, I think where this is going is: will Alcohol separate from the beer (water) if it is going at a high enough velocity? And if so, how do we seperate the alcohol as it comes down the tube?
Che?
