Holy SHIT this place is huge! Not only does it take 15 minutes to walk from the front desk to the convention center, the room is literally the size of a football field and lined with poker tables. No flash photography – learned that little tidbit a little too late, but they were nice enough about it. Lining the halls of the convention center are chair-massage stations, souvenir stations, food kiosks and information stands for “THE OFFICIAL VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT OF THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER.” From the air quality surrounding many of the players, I thought that was Vitamin 2-C (Caffeine and Cigarettes). They have mini tournaments going on throughout the day, for those who haven’t dropped enough coin already.
What have I gotten myself into? T-minus 2 hours, 11 minutes and counting.
