To all that have been out to the Rio this year. Is there sponsor rooms like there were a couple of years ago for Full tilt, Pokerstars, Doyles Room etc.? Last year when I was out there they were all gone and it just didn't seem as fun. Sure there were photo ops with pros but it just wasn't the same as in '06. Thanks for the responses.

I didn't see any. I wasn't there last year, but was in 06. I remembered seeing rooms for UB, PS, etc. I just got back 2 days ago and don't remember seeing any separate rooms.

Depend on what you mean - FullTilt definitely had a large suite right off of the main poker area - but it was closed from the public (it is where most of the big name pros disappeared to during breaks).



EDIT - was not too clear - this was last year (2007) - I would bet that the sites did not have many " swag" giveaways because of Harras' distancing themselves from the internet poker sites.

Yes thats what it was. A room outside of the tournament area. All the sponsors had one and you could actually walk in and get free stuff like t-shirts stickers mousepads etc. So thats not there again this year? Oh well its still alot a fun there at the Rio. Thanks for the responses!
