For as long as we can remember there have been rumors of an "imminent" North American Poker Tour. It only made sense -- after the success of the European Poker Tour, Asia Pacific Poker Tour and Latin American Poker Tour, why wouldn't PokerStars.net start an NAPT?

So it was with excitement and anticipation that we greeted the announcement at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January that the NAPT had finally come into being. And now here we are, six weeks later, about to kick off the latest mega poker tour in the luxurious Las Vegas Venetian Hotel and Casino.

The festivities started yesterday with a celebrity charity poker tournament and a typically extravagant welcome party at the night club TAO. T-Pain was in the house to dazzle the crowd, and the drinks were flowing long past the midnight hour.

Today it's down to business. The 48 tables in the Venetian poker room have been joined by another 40-odd tables in front of the poker room, to the side of the poker room, and behind the poker room. This event is going to be massive.
