I am so jealous of everyone who is going to this. I seriously considered it but I've already booked a trip Vegas later in April so it's hard to justify going twice in one month.
Also I agree that the Cosmopolitan is a sick hotel, at least visually (can't comment on the service etc).
If the next one of these tournaments is held in Las Vegas, and we get 3+ months notice, then I will definitely do everything in my power to attend.

What if it's a cell phone / radio transmitter that only LOOKS like an MP3 player? :O *duhn duhn dunnnn* ♪
Anyways, I don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but Group B looks ridiculous.
Group B – MarineKing, Stephano, White-Ra, I, J
At least one fan favorite isn't going to be able to progress out of pool play because it's only Top 2 - especially considering how "I" and "J" are going to be in a tough spot, whoever they are. It's almost like if you make it through the open bracket and get put into Group B, you're guaranteed to lose (a bit of an exaggeration, but still).

MKP has this EZ, and I'm sad to say WhiteRa probably isn't making it out But the open bracket is going to be soooo stacked
I'm still scarred by MLG Anaheim, where there was 1 chair for every 4 people. Definitely not an event that took the live spectators into consideration. Unfortunately the IPL4 VIP passes are sold out. Will I be able to sit on something better than a concrete floor if I buy the standard ticket?
Idra is going to win this, I feel it in my water. It's time.
Release the Gracken!
Shame there isn't much 'foreigner' representation though. I can't see any more coming through the open brackets if both teams who are in the GSTL final get spread out across the open bracket.

You can find a layout, here. Go to level 4 and you will find the Chelsea room & commons, which is where the event is being held.
Then you can also make assumptions by looking up "chelsea at cosmopolitan" on google images. But keep in mind, you are ASSUMING and it is a good chance that your assumption could be wrong! So be careful.

To answer: We don't know as of yet.
I wasn't really asking about the floorplan. Thanks anyway, though!

Pumped MVP is going to be there, but his recent play of late makes me a sad panda cause of his wrists.
Shit, Nestea, MVP, MMA, MC, MKP, Leenock, Polt are all going to be here? This is now the most stacked tournament second only to Code S. It's obscenely stacked

We will also have the players from the 2 GSTL finalists. So it could actually be very close to most code s players being there.
