WSOP 2008 To-Do List – October 2007 Edition
Harrah's, the folks who bring you the World Series of Poker (WSOP) have announced the dates for the 2008 edition of the world's richest poker tournament series. Next year, the festivities will begin two days earlier than last year – on May 30, 2008 . The Main Event will finish on July 17 th .
The exact dates of each event have yet to be announced, but that doesn't mean you can't start planning your vacation time for next summer. If you can't get the entire two months off from work, why not plan a two-week chunk in Vegas around the time of the Main Event? Even if you can't play in the $10,000 tournament, there's plenty of tasty events all over town – and at the WSOP – going on at the same time. And, we hear that the cash games are pretty fierce during this stretch of time to boot.
So, our suggestion is that you start thinking about when you want to be in Vegas next summer and where you'd like to stay. Trip planning takes time and you still have plenty of it. Remember too, that the hotels – especially the Rio , home to the WSOP – fill up rather quickly. As the saying goes, “the early bird catches the worm.”
See you at the WSOP next summer!
