Want To Play the National Heads-Up Poker Tourney?

2008 was a year of downturns at every turn, even for recession proof Las Vegas. Billion dollar projects idled, layoffs by the thousands, sky-high gasoline, grounded airline flights, and poker rooms closing have combined to cast a darkening shadow of doubt over the Vegas skyline. The Las Vegas strip's eternally optimistic views of tomorrow have been replaced by views of rusting rebar and sun bleached concrete columns. What's the over/under on the "City of Entertainment" going under?
One of the few bright spots in the 2008 Las Vegas gaming landscape was live poker tournaments. The Mother of all poker tournaments, the World Series of Poker®, was a record setting event that played to one of the largest crowds in the long history of the WSOP.
Will the future of Vegas poker remain bright while the great Vegas gaming infrastructure continues to downsize in the raging economic storms? Again, we point to the WSOP. Properly branded, efficiently managed, better than year before, media savvy, Internet friendly, proven fan friendly atmosphere, and ESPN TV have registered send the WSOP to the next level.
The other popular poker tournament in 2008? The NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. A high dollar NBC TV Sports production featuring 64 of poker's elite invited to come together in a series of single elimination heads-up matches to determine the best heads-up poker player in all the land. The Heads-Up tourney follows the college basketball championship format, and it's complete after three days of intense play in front of a live TV audience.
