Where is the Rio setting up the extra tables?

[Temp Hutter]

I am assuming the WSOP is still in the Amazon room. Where are they putting the extra 100 tables this year? I read a while back that they are going to have 300 tables instead of 200 and I can't envision where they will put them. Are they growing into another room across the hall or are they going to squeeze us together more?

you did'nt hear?

we're actually just playing 15 handed this year

I think they are setting up a huge tent/temporary building in the parking lot that will connect to the amazon room.

They set up and then tear down these things for conventions all over town, and some of them are just friggin enormous

Last year I had heard something about expanding the room, as well as having the players play half at Caesar's and half at the Rio. Not sure what the final decision was.

They did that last year for beers and food last year, this could obviously happen as well.

does Nevada Gaming require "eye in the sky" coverage for all WSOP tables?

During meetings I had with Harrah's/WSOP in December, they confirmed a high-end tent-like structure.

Does Harrah's own any convention space in Vegas big enough for everyone? I doubt that a tent is ideal going forward. I just hope they can keep the tent air conditioned.
