Former World Series of Poker champion and legend Scotty Nguyen plays alongside several of the world’s biggest poker players at the five 90-minute WSOP tournaments today. It’s the third day of the G2E Global Gaming Convention at our convention center.
One of our favorite chefs, Carla Pellegrino from the oh-so-tough-to-get-into Rao’s (in New York City and at Caesars Palace here), brings her authentic southern Neapolitan Italian cooking talents to convention delegates in the Food & Beverage section.
Entertainment rolls on all afternoon long as a break from meeting and conference room activity, as the gaming industry chiefs look over new inventions and new gaming machines and try to figure out how to stave off the woes of the nation’s economic crisis so badly battering Vegas.
