    The WSOPC is coming up soon and my carrier (T-Mobile) has no signal at this place, so I'm probably going to need to get a prepaid cell to stay in contact with the outside world. Does anyone know which carriers work there?

    Not trying to sound like a dick but do you really need cell phone reception while you are playing. Ultimate no distractions right there. Its amazing how lost the world is without their phone for a while. Did you try calling the casino? They might actually know the answer to your question.

    Dick comment imo. But yea, I do need reception while I'm playing. Playing live takes a loooong time and I need to be reachable in case of emergency or other import matters. Also, trying to find other people at a casino without a phone is a nightmare...

    @ shortstacked1, fwiw if u hover ur cursor over the thread title, it will show the first few sentences of the thread. Really useful feature imo. =)

    Ya its somewhere around that number, I know it set the record for the biggest circuit event ever, but it was pretty hectic and ran poorly but then it was the only event I played last year. They had alternates taking seats till 4pm so I would advise registering a day or so in advance.

    I'm prolly going to play at least 3-4 this year, Im sure theres going to be a ton of P5ers there too.

    Verizon phones work anywhere on the Casino floor, but any other carrier is spotty at best. You will be allowed to walk outside on Deck 1 and you will get reception there.

    sorry for being a dick then, just my personal opinion of everyone's sad need to be constantly connected. And the second part of my comment was also true as stated below
