Advice re: upcoming WSOP Circuit Event in Indiana

[patstap]

I will be spending the week of April 1st thru 8th at Caesar's in Indiana (near Louisville), to participate in the WSOP Circuit Event.

I plan on playing satellites and cash tourneys with an eye towards the $5000 NLHE Main Event.

They will be having daily $300+40 and $175+25 tourneys as well as satellites and mega-satellites leading up to the Main Event. I'm hoping to have a bankroll of $6000 to $10,000 to devote to this event.

I don't have a lot of live MTT tournament experience and would appreciate some tips from those of you who do.

Poker tips are welcome but would also like some "If I knew then, what I know now" type of tips, and logistics types of tips.

The vast majority of my experience is on-line. Any tips for me to remember as I transition to this live event?

I'll be staying at the casino hotel. Are the breaks long enuf to run to my room?

How early do I need to arrive at the start of a tourney?

Eat before, during or after the tourney?

Single table satellites, soft or tuff?

Etc, etc, etc.

Thanks in advance.
