I've not been to the Jack yet, but the Royal is definitely a place/event to see. As mentioned above - Friday evening is CRAZY with parties on the dark side, while during the day there is LOTS to see and do - especially in the vendors building. Some awesome food to be had also.
It is truly something to walk around and see over 500 teams set up with all the different types of smokers and site set-ups! If you get the chance, take the "site tour" on Friday afternoon. You get to meet and talk with several teams and sample their wares (free event to get to see what goes inside the sites). Definitely worth the time!
I judged on Saturday and Sunday, but still it was great to just be there!
Got there on Thursday and left on Monday.
I'll be back again this October!!! Can't wait!!!
