Bgfoot 0 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I've heard rumors that the 2008 WSOP is moving to Ceasar's Palace on the strip. Because the convention center is larger and closer to table games, forum shops, etc.I was reading a article somewhere, it stated "Pit bosses are upset that there is 4000-5000 people, a 1/2 mile down the hall, around a couple of corners, with plenty of money, and they can not touch them".Has anyone else heard or read anything relating to this.

Instead of 'I'll talk to you soon,' everybody will say 'Holla atcha!' Link to post Share on other sites

Instead of 'I'll talk to you soon,' everybody will say 'Holla atcha!'Sorry, random comment here as the above post made me think of it. Anybody else speak "ebonically" but use the actual words and say it very "white-bread"??? Like the ebonic sentence "Yo Yo, what's crackin' my bruthas?!?" said "Yo Yo, what is cracking my brothers??" in a high pitched voice???? No?? Just me??? Ok, just checking.......

Vandees 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 They need to move it to the Thomas and Mack center. Charge $20 for a WSOP pass, all proceeds go to charity. Link to post Share on other sites
psujohn 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Am I taking crazy pills, or is Caesars a Harrah's property?Not sure what you're taking but yes, Caesars is owned by Harrah's. Caesar's is actually their flagship/premium brand. Sort of like Bellagio is to MGM/Mirage. Link to post Share on other sites

Sort of like Bellagio is to MGM/Mirage.I'm saying, if it was true that Harrah's was no longer interested in the WSOP, as the article suggests, it obviously wouldn't move to another Harrah's property.

NoSup4U 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I heard from someone during the tournament that Harrah's was building a building just to host the WSOP that would be done not next year but ready for the year after.Obv no idea how credible that was but since you asked if we'd heard anything related to that...Mark Link to post Share on other sites

arerad 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The convention center is no where near Cesaers Palace.The Venetian is attached the the Sands Expo and has showed much interest in pushing Poker.That would make for a great venue. Link to post Share on other sites

psujohn 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The addition to Venetian is a traditional casino/hotel. The V would make an excellent WSOP host I think.The problem with the article is that lots of businesses have parts that they don't think are worth pouring money into and yet they don't want to sell them off.

thecove 0 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Take this for what it is worth. I played in event #34 this year and unfortunately busted out on Day 2. On my way out I bought some merchandise from one of the vendors in the hallway and he informed us that the WSOP was going to move to Caeser's next year. He was a RIO employee.I didn't grill him on it becuase I heard the same rumor last year when I played. Link to post Share on other sites
