Can the Bellagio steal the WSOP?

I played at the Bellagio Saturday night. The games were pretty good. One thing I noticed was the removal of blackjack tables for their tournament. That's a first.

Also, I was overhearing a conversation about the possibility of the WSOP being "taken over" by the Bellagio--they would host a big event to supplant the Binion's event.

Could it happen? Considering the vast difference in the two venues, I think it would be great for poker. Sometimes you have to break tradition and start a new, improved one. Thoughts and comments appreciated.
