The World Series of Poker is taking over Las Vegas this period as thousands of players are arriving to the home of poker to pay their duties of honor to the almighty meeting of the giants.

WSOP regulars are rather pleased with the fact that the financial turbulence has brought prices significantly down as players are finding what we call in every day language value for money, in both accommodation and outing.

Because Vegas at the end of the day is not only about poker and gambling as it is a very unique place. Visitors will find a number of attractions to visit including fairs, cabarets and world class restaurants, so if you are planning to join us this year, don’t stick to poker.

The younger in age can take the time and visit the Big Shot as it has become talk of the town after a dedicated show on the Discovery Channel. For those that have not had the luck to visit or watch the show, they should anticipate to come across a wild experience, featuring extreme fun rides reaching up to 4Gs in acceleration.

The more sophisticated can take the time visit the Bodies Exhibition at Luxor, as they will find a clear view of the human anatomy, they will realize how complex we are; and what we really look like inside.

Now last and favorite; the most universal fit for all ages, the Bellagio fountains, independently of your age if you haven’t visited them before, they are a Las Vegas must. I never miss out on them!
