yes, it was open last year, right along side the WSOP events and games.
but i honestly dont know why. i guess its the money, but from one angle i think having cash games at both WSOP and at the Horseshoe room is a bit overkill. they should all be moved to WSOP, where there usually more than plenty of space. the only exceptions are when some of the bigger field tourneys run their first days alongside some of the daily tournaments, the cash games at WSOP take a backseat in terms of space. hopefully that changes this year, with the addition of the 100 tables they're talking about.
just me, but i would prefer to play my cash games almost exclusively at WSOP because (a) its all in the same place, so less walking (b) there is nothing like the vibe and feel of a massive conference arena with nothing but poker tables going non-stop and (c) i can just keep chips from day to day instead of cashing out and picking up new chips elsewhere.
dont get me wrong, though, i will venture over to bellagio/aria and other rooms from time to time, but just having all the games i could want in one place is one of the major advantages of going to WSOP.
