I am sooooo there!

Have a feeling this is going to become the biggest unofficial 2+2 event in AC.

Would anyone be interested in playing a 2+2 only 1-2 (or higher) NL game if I can get it spread at one of the casinos (hopefully Borgata).

Anyone else find it funny that the <font color="blue"> Harrah's WSOP Atlantic City Poker Event </font> Is not being held at <font color="red"> Harrahs </font> ?

Empire is name dropping the Harrah's brand, but I don't think they are not actually directly affilated with them for this event.

do you have to actually receive the e-mail to register?

either way, you can still book Harrah's AC straight up on the 15th for just $99 if you are a total rewards member. trump marina is gonna be at least $239 even if you have a wild card.

Does this mean we get a rebate into our EP account with which we can buy an Empire Poker watch?

I'm assuming that they give you the $150 into your real money account, but assumptions are bad.

Please forgive the unenlightened.

I got the invite as well, and I really have zero excuses now to further delay an AC trip. I've never played live and I've never been to AC. Can someone fill me in on the geography of AC...where exactly is the trump marina in relation to other poker rooms like the borg and the taj/trop (I'm pretty sure borg and taj/trop are on opposite sides of town?). I'd prefer not to drive around town if I can avoid it (I'll take a cab or walk or whatever). Are there any cheap places to stay in the vacinity of the marina (I'd prefer to let Empire pay for my entire hotel stay if possible...)

Thanks,
J

EDITED TO ADD: If there's anyone I know from the boards who is going and wants to double up on a room let me know (PM me).

I got it, and will probably go.
