The World Series оf Poker (WSOP) set the dates for the 2025 championship, which returns for a fourth consecutive year tо the Horseshoe and Paris оn the Las Vegas Strip. The series will take place May 27 through July 16, with the final table оf the championship showdown, known as the Main Event, slated for July 15 and 16 inside the Horseshoe Events Center.
The Main Event, which has taken place every year since Benny Binion founded the WSOP at Binion’s Horseshoe іn downtown Las Vegas іn 1970, now costs $10,000 tо enter, and makes its winner eight figures richer.
With 99 bracelet events in Las Vegas this year, more than 100 will likely be handed out next year, since attendance has been up every year since 2022.
“Expect the biggest poker events on the planet, the best action and the most intense competition as we once again welcome tens of thousands of poker enthusiasts eager to experience the magic of the WSOP,” said WSOP CEO Ty Stewart.
The full daily event schedule for the 56th annual WSOP will be announced early next year. The Mystery Millions, Millionaire Maker, Senior’s Championship and $1,000-entry Tag Team and Shootout events are all expected to return. A full schedule is coming in early 2025, and subsequent packages will be available for players and fans to book local hotels at subsidized rates.
Reduced room rates will be available across Caesars Entertainment’s Las Vegas resorts for the series by visiting www.caesars.com and using promo code WSOP25.
Players should follow @WSOP on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram or check WSOP.com for event news and updates.
The Evolution of WSOP Ownership
Last year, GGPoker purchased the WSOP from Caesars Entertainment for $500 million through its parent company, NSUS Group Inc. However, their agreement allowed Caesars to continue hosting the tournament at its properties until 2044.
In 2004, Caesars, then known as Harrah’s Entertainment, acquired WSOP and Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas for a mere $44.3 million in 2004. The operating rights to that casino were later sold back.
