Temperature in the RIO

I am starting packing for my trip to Vegas for the WSOP. I have played in some tournaments where they seem to keep the room at like 50 degrees for some reason.

You people who played the WSOP last year: what is the temperature like in the room? Should I bring a jacket just for that?

From what I have heard, wear two layers at least.

It's gonna be really cold. Casinos are always cold.

Snow parka and gloves.

as a general rule, i think you should always bring some sort of jacket or sweatshirt when going to a casino for poker. i don't see any reason to not do it here.

good thing I read this, leaving tomorrow and just threw in 3 long sleeves shirts for good measure.

It got pretty hot last year during the ME, especially when all of the spectators rushed in after each break.

Their temperature control is no better than any other room at adjusting for the number of people in it.

Last year I went straight there from the airport to get in some cash game play, around midnight. The room was pretty empty and it was freezing.

Next day I was playing in a $1500 event and it was really warm. I brought a hoodie and didn't get to wear it.

During ME I was switching back and forth between t-shirt and that Full Tilt pullover we got.

So yeah like people said, bring layers.

Agree with everyone else. During the busy times it's hot and late at night its freezing.
