Assuming this is what you're talking about:

Buy-In Take-Out
$500.00 10%
$1,000.00 10%
$1,500.00 10%
$2,500.00 9%
$3,000.00 9%
$5,000.00 6%
$10,000.00 6%
$25,000.00 5%
$50,000.00 4%

Don't know what percentage of that actually goes to the dealers, though.

Edit: And for the ME specifically: "4.2% of the total entry pool will be withheld for entry fees, and 1.8% of the total entry pool will be
withheld for tournament staff"

If you show up at 11:30 expecting to register and play the noon 1k you'll probably get to play but you'll miss some hands... Registering early morning/late night the day before is usually a big time saver.

on the late reg note: is it the same stupid policy as last year where if you miss one hand you miss the whole level?

I typically go to a place called Thai Noodle House with a bunch of friends on dinner breaks, ends up being $15 a person if that and it's about as fast to get there as it is one of the crappy restaurants at the Rio.

MMMMMMM THAI NOODLE HOUSE

Is pre-regging everything and then cancelling when you make day 2s feasible or not a good idea?

its feasible but its a lot easier to just buy in to the next event when you bust the one you are in.

Yeah but how do you get all the money down there for every event you're going to play?

Excited!

Bring a backpack with food to events you play if you want to remain sane over the course of the whole series.

Basically yes, You will not be able to use the money for non-gambling purposes.

If you really want to win a bracelet, 4 of the last 5 years the NLSD championship was won by a person who had never played in the tourney before. My advice at least

When is the best time to crash Las Vegas for those not playing and looking for a couple days visit during the WSOP?

I think the 2p2 party is a big factor, anything else?

The beginning: It's a short span of time where hope exists in the minds of all who've taken the pilgrimage to the poker Mecca. Spirits are high for all, the parties rage into the early morning, the newbies get their first taste of the Rhino. It's a week of chaos and tranquility. "This is going to be my year!"

The main: The series is over. Some players are in denial over the destruction their bankroll took while some players are embracing another summer without victory. A small handful of players are basking in the glow of WSOP glory... The Main Event is here, though, and that means everyone has one last chance. Might as well go out with a bang.
