    Just curious..I noticed that stars is putting up their package winners at the Palms Hotel but I don't see where any money is being held out for the hotel accomodations. Is Stars covering this expense on their own? Seems strange.

    Here's what it says on the website:

    Our standard prize package is worth $12,500, made up of the following:
    <ul type="disc">[*] $10,000 Main Event buy-in[*] $2,500 for expenses[/list]But thats not all. Were also giving each player the opportunity to be a part of The PokerStars Experience. This includes the following additional features*:
    <ul type="disc">[*] Free hotel accommodation at the Palms, for 8 nights from July 2-9 (or a cash alternative of $1,000**). The qualifiers that chose to wear PokerStars gear, who are still playing in the main event on July 10th will have their accommodation extended until July 15th.[*] Hotel suite upgrades for Supernova and Supernova Elite VIP members.[*] Shuttle bus service each day to the Rio.[*] Cash bonuses of up to $50,000 for qualifiers that make a TV table***.[*] Additional bonuses of up to $1,000,000 for players that make the final table***.[/list]The free hotel alone should make you want to qualify for the WSOP no where else, but at Stars.

    If you are supernova it is even better, because the suite they put you up in is sick. Its at the new Palms Place, and it well worth it.

    I'm considering going balls to the wall for 3 months to get supernova just for this reason.
