That's interesting news. I'm out here for the series and it seems like they finally have gotten enough space for everything, opening up the main ballroom for more tournament tables and the cash games, devoting another room to the store and food (which is much better this year than previous years, try the build-your-own chicken salad for 10 bucks you get a great giant salad that will feed 2). It's also great that it's off the strip so getting there is easier.
Oddly, it seems like attendance is down with lots of people going to the Venetian or Caesars for the deep stack/mega stack series. Not sure if it just looks that way because there are more tables so more empty tables. I could see them putting the final table anywhere...it's just one tv table for one day, but you raise the bigger question of where will Harrah's put the WSOP next year?

Q: I just returned yesterday from Vegas. Great time! I heard
from a reliable source that the Rio has been sold and while
the World Series of Poker is starting, the final table is
planned to be at Planet Hollywood due to the sale. Could the
buyer possibly be George Maloof?
