A total of 6,494 players paid the $10,000 buy-in to play this year's World Series of Poker main event. That's below last year's 6,844, but this year could have been much higher if several hundred players hadn't waited till the final day to enter. Between 500 and 800 players were reportedly shut out when the field reached capacity on the fourth day of the first round. The prize pool for the tournament is $61,043,600 and the first prize will be $8.55 million. A total of 648 players will win something and all nine at the final table are guaranteed at least $1.26 million.

BURGER JOINT: A new restaurant called Burger Joint has opened at the Flamingo. The menu has a big selection, including salmon, buffalo, chicken, turkey, veggie, and design-your-own traditional-style burgers.

STUFFED: Downtown's Plaza has opened a new buffet called Stuffed. Breakfast and lunch are $7.77 and dinner is $12.99-$15.99.

KENO COMEBACK: A new keno lounge has opened at the downtown Vegas Club. It's newsworthy, given the trend toward closing live keno rooms in Las Vegas. The new lounge is open from noon until 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and noon until midnight Fridays and Saturdays.

PALMS PASS: In a happy-hour deal of sorts, the Palms is offering a four-in-one ticket to Moon, Rain, Ghostbar and the Playboy Club. The cost is $20 on weekdays and $40 on weekends. These all-entry passes are available at the door, at the Palms' Web site, and at its Stuff Store.

What's the deal on the one-price all-day buffets? Who has them?

Someone at Excalibur thought it up, tried it, and it worked. Now here they come. (How do you think shrimp cocktails got started?) Currently, you can find all-day buffets, where you pay a single price and can eat all three meals, at Palace Station, $20; Stratosphere $20/$25; Orleans, $21-$25; Excalibur, $25; MGM Grand, $30; and Luxor, $30.
