The Rio was a shit venue for the WSOP in so many, many ways. Not NEARLY enough bathrooms. Insanely overpriced, low-quality food--or expensive, mediocre food a twenty-minute walk away. Uncomfortable chairs, incompetent dealers, ridiculous lines at the cage (you couldn't buy chips at the table!), etc. etc. etc.--but at least, the parking was free! I mean, it was 185 degrees outside and you had to hoof it about eight miles to the tournament areas, but you didn't have to pay for it, at least.
No mas.
Now, you have to pay $18 to park--unless it's the weekend, in which case it's $23, because as we all know, parking is more parky on weekends. Or something. And that's ONE entry and exit. You're already paying hefty hefty hefty tournament entry fees (or a sky-high rake in cash games) to play at the Paris Pathetic Pleasure House of Poker. Y'think they might throw in free parking if you're paying $1000 to enter an event, $120 of which CSR will take off the top? Or $1,200, if you enter the Main Event? Y'think you might deserve free parking if you're going inside to dump twelve C-notes?
Naah! Peasants! Be glad we let you inside at all!
The ripoffs never end. Or I guess, they'll end when people stop being patsies and suckers.
