Avoid Vegas during WSOP?

[Sacramento Kevin]

Ok, about 8 of us are planning to go to Vegas, in the late June/early July time frame. Mostly for general Vegas fun, some poker, but mostly low limit. None of us will be playing in any WSOP tourneys or satellites.

The question is - what will room rates be like during the WSOP? Will only the Rio and surrounding be high, or all around?

For low limit games (5/10 and under), will they be swamped due to the players there for the WSOP?

I'm guessing yes, but I don't have any experience with Vegas during the WSOP. Any advice from people who have gone would be appreciated.
