Hi All,
Neil is in transit to EPT Copenhagen, so here are some answers to a few of your questions:

The party runs from 8pm-10pm with an open bar, food and entertainment. The club opens at 10pm, after which it becomes a cash bar. I have heard that the artist playing the party will also be doing a DJ set later in the evening, so it promises to be a fun (possibly epic) night.
There are lots of reasons to come to the party, and we hope to announce one more in the next few days.

Everyone who qualified at the PCA or on PS will receive two wristbands to enter Tao (for themself and a guest). Anyone else who has registered for the ME at the venetian (either buying-in directly or qualifying live) will be able to get one wristband in the poker room on the day of the party. Exact details for how this works will be posted here later this week.
Also, everyone who plays in the charity event earlier in the day will get wristbands.

I am not aware of any NAPT ads running on ESPN. I think what you saw was an ad that "EPSN Inside Deal" will be reporting from the floor of the Venetian throughout the Main and Bounty Shootout events. ESPN are sending a sizeable crew, as is PokerNews.com and quite a few other media outlets from around North America and even globally.

There is a press release on this coming out in the next few days with more information, but it won't answer all of these questions. So: the episodes will start airing shortly after the Mohegan Sun event; and it's premature to comment on the timeslots as that still might change.
Cheers,
