Has anyone ever attended the WSOP?

I'm going to be in Vegas during the WSOP main event May 25-28. I'd like to go watch on one of those days but have no idea how to go about it. If I'm not playing in the event, can I still go to watch? If yes, what time would I have to show up in order to be in a position where I can actually see some of the action? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can watch even if you're not playing in the event. You should be able to show up any time if it's not the day of the final table. Look for me, I'll be playing in the Pokerstars gear /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Its cool just going to watch. I go whenever one of my fav players makes a final table. If its not the Championship Event, its easy to get a seat in the bleachers. One final table had DanNegreanu, Mike Matusow, John Juanda, and Paul Phillips. In a different event, I saw DanN win his third braclet. I think its fun, just don't bring your wife or gf...unless they like to watch poker for a couple of hours.

Was this last year, in the S.H.O.E. event?

Nevermind, I just saw in the New Views and Gossip forum. DanN won event 15 this year, so that must have been his third I assume.
