WSOP events

[BrianSwa]

I private messaged this to TP because I think he has the most experience playing these events. Next year I plan on playing in one of the $1,500 events if Gavin is well. I have 0 experience in these and would like info on them from people that have played them.

1. the buy-in, can you pre-register for this or do you register when you arrive.
2. hotel, how hard is it to get a place to stay? how far in advance do you reserve your room? and how much does it usually cost?
3. travel, this is not a problem for me seeing as I fly free but for those that dont how hard is it to get a flight?


If you have any other general info on this that would be great. Now im not expecting to bring home the braclet next year. I do think this is something a poker player has to do once in their life. If I like it I most likley will try to do one event a year. Also TP the 1st time you played in one of these where you nervous as hell? I think I would be sitting there with the hellmuths, leaderer's, and negranue's.
