You should see PHell and DNegs at Rio, plus any others that are playing a heavy load. I had good interaction with both, but I got lucky. They have limited breaks and are there 'working'. I also saw Mouth, Grinder, Jesus, Bonomo and Greenstien as well. On the flip side, I was standing basically right next to JMercier and didn't even recognize him when I was railing the $50K. (He was on my side of the rail, where you don't expect to look for him!!)
I think the tournament players are a bit more receptive than cash players but I did have a great conversation with GMeuller a few years ago when he came out of Ivey's Room at Aria for a potty break.
Keep the expectations realistic and hopefully you will come away with some good moments. GL
