It restarted yesterday. 3 or 4 events were cancelled.

The 5k NL event that was down to 10 or 12 players was canceled and the players were paid based on their chip count when the tourney stopped. So the guy who was last ended up getting 30k instead of 9k.

Bellagio had a major power failure on Easter morning that closed the place for 3 or 4 days.

I was in Vegas that weekend staying at the Orleans. I went over to the Bellagio on Monday to watch the $5,000 Limit tourament, only to discover when I got there that a power outage had shut down the hotel. I was really disappointed that I didn't get to see some of the top pros in action. Also, I blew $29 in cab fare that I could've lost playing poker instead. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif
