From Europe and Heading to Las Vegas for the WSOP? Check Your Passport

It is almost time to begin packing your suitcases for those last-minute preparations for your trip to the 2016 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. But be careful, if you don't have the correct passport, then you could be turned away at McCarran Airport, if you even manage to get off the ground in the United Kingdom.

A change in the rules for entering the United States of America came into effect on April 1, 2016, but according to several newspaper reports, tens of thousands of Britons heading to the US could be turned away from flights to the country unless they hold a biometric passport.
