Walking through the convention halls at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas during the World Series of Poker is quite an experience. Getting inside the ropes next to the poker players and tables to watch and record the hands as they unfold is a privilege I've experienced as a credentialed media member.
