Al's back in Las Vegas for WSOP


I just spent the better part of the day at the Rio All Suites Casino in Las Vegas. Tuesday was the first day of the seven week Pokerpaloosa surrounding the Super Bowl of poker, the WSOP. This is
the fifth year the World Series of Poker is being held at the cavernous Rio and most likely its last. Harrah's has been talking of moving the event to Caesar's Palace for several years. And it seems the time has come because Harrah's Entertainment has been looking to unload the eighteen year old Rio to the highest bidder.

It's way too early to tell how the tournament will fare in our current economic downturn. One thing is for sure, though, the eastern European countries will be well represented. These young dynamos honed their skills at online poker sites like Full Tilt and then bought a transatlantic ticket to riches. Their meteoric rise has been amazing.

I'll be focusing a little more time on Twitter while at the WSOP. Please follow me at TravelValet on Twitter. I'll constantly update you...tweet tweet. You can click on me directly along the right hand column under "Twitter Tweets."
