I agree nothing is certain, but I’m not sure we should dismiss the idea of the ME event being held over the holiday. In years past it was always just after the holiday.
And, the poker scene in Vegas in the summer really tends to die down by the time the Main Event starts. Bank-rolls run dry, people can’t afford to stay that long, etc. I agree that some might find it difficult to play over the holiday. But I imagine this would not affect foreign players at all and may even incentivize some folks in the US to come out to play or qualify since they will have an extra day off.

It’s hard to tell from the screenshot, but isn’t the Giant an event with like 10 starting flights over the course of a month?
