Vegas questions

Yeah, take your best guess and buy a round trip ticket. If you go deep, you won't care about changing your flight.

As for wiring money to the Rio, I called my bank from the airport on my way to Vegas and gave them the wire info. I went to the Rio that night and the cage had my money waiting for me. They will give it to you in cash or chips, but prefer to give you chips, of course. It's not like they MAKE you play through it or anything though. I took what I wanted for WSOP registrations in chips and took the rest in cash.

You can also take out as much or as little as you want at a time. Other than the time spent in line and at the window doing paperwork (not that bad), it's very, very convenient.

Thanks for the replies so far. I've checked, but it looks like pre-registration for the main event is over.

I couldn't find any details on the website, so do I just get the wiring info and get my bank to transfer the money over...show up to the cage and my money will magically appear?

It'll probably be a lot easier for me to bring a cashier's cheque over. Would the casinos take this? Who would I make it out to?

Yep, assuming you have a player's card from last year (you need your number for them to tie the $$ to your account). And FWIW, the wiring instructions I found online were incorrect. You'll want to call them, get to the main cage, and ask for wiring instructions.

No idea about the check.
