Re: How early do you need to arrive for a WSOP tourney?
[ QUOTE ]
You do have to know where to park. Don't park in the normal Rio lots and garages, you want to park out in the convention center area. It's still a hike, but WAY shorter than if you parked near the main Rio entrances. It'd be less of a hike if you could use closer entrances but they seem to funnel everybody through the main convention center entrance where the cabs drop people off, so from the parking lot you have to hike up the length of the convention center (depending where you got to park), then right back down the way you came inside. I so need to find a back door this year. [/ QUOTE ] The hike inside the air-conditioned convention center doesn't bother me as much as the outdoors 100 degree hike. I may end up wimping out and valeting. Wish they valeted the convention center entrance. [ QUOTE ] I would definitely try to register the day prior, or give yourself more than an hour. You need a Harrah's players card so if you don't have that expect a wait. You probably then need to register as a WSOP player if they do it like last year and there will likely be a line for that. Then you have to register for the event--another line. And trying to accomplish that in the one hour before a major event starts (their first one, so they will be outta practice and probably having troubles early on until they work out the kinks) is asking too much. It might happen, but it might take longer. [/ QUOTE ] I don't remember a separate WSOP registration last year. I already had a players card, so the event registration was pretty painless, except for parting with the buy-in. Maybe they changed things by the time my event came around. Or maybe I just forgot.

Just read something that says registration for all WSOP events begins at 9am on June 1. So maybe you cannot register the day prior. [/ QUOTE ] From the FAQ on the WSOP website: When does Registration at the WSOP Cage begin? At 9:00 a.m. on Friday, June 1, 2007.
