WPT at Fallsview - now offically official in my head :)
When I went to try my luck at a Degree walk-up seat today, the plasmatronic screens right in front of the casino were displaying the usual bore of Regis and (omg) Kelli, the latest concerts and then yes, after a double take "Fallsview Casino Resort - Canadian home of the WPT / super sats to start soon"
With all the talk on the forum about this I was 90% sure of it coming. I am one of those people though who don't believe it till I see it.
Well, I saw it.

Filming of Season Five Starts May 14
The World Poker Tour has been to the Caribbean and to France, but in October it will travel to a place it has never been before: Canada.
The third North American Poker Championship will take place not at the Bellagio this year, but at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort October 25-29.
“By staging the North American Poker Championship in this beautiful Canadian casino, we put out the welcome mat for all poker enthusiasts in Canada and truly lay down the gauntlet to see who can reign supreme on the continent,†said Steve Lipscomb, CEO and founder of WPT Enterprises, Inc.
Several WPT stars are Canadians, including Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Smith, Bill Edler, and Evelyn Ng. The stop in Canada will mean the WPT will leave the country three times in season five, which begins at the Mirage May 14. The tour also stops in the Bahamas and Paris.

All Pre-Main Event Tourneys are NLHE
$1000+60, then $1500+70, then $2000+80, then $2500+100, then $1000+60, then $1500+70, then $2000+80, then $2500+100, then $3000+100. End Pre-Lim Tourneys
Satelite: $1000+60
Main Event: $10000+200
*Note all winners of pre-lim and main event won seats into $25,000 + $500 entry into 2006 WPT at Bellagio. But this was probably due to the fact that it was held @ Bellagio. Good chance winner of each pre-lim will win a $10000+200 seat (Obv seat taken out of prizepool).
Oh and don't worry - the resort has a lot of free space
TONS
Most people have only ever seen the gaming floor and the ballroom (where the Degree tourney is held). But there is thousands of square feet of convention space in the Grand Hall.
Can you reserve a spot or is it first come first served?
If I want to watch the tourney live, do you just show up?
Can someone confirm the dates? Poker Pro Mag (and the WPT site) lists Oct 23-27 (M-F).

What do you mean???
There's the prblem, some places it's reported as "The third North American Poker Championship will take place not at the Bellagio this year, but at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort October 25-29." which is W-Sun, but the WPT site says 23-27 which is M-Fr.
