The full schedule will be announced early next year at WSOP.com, but many tournaments have already been confirmed. Online tournament preregistration will open on the site after all events have been determined and approved by regulators.
The first World Series of Poker was played at the original Horseshoe Las Vegas in 1970. It moved to Bally's and Paris in 2022 after 17 years at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.
Reduced room rates are available across Caesars Entertainment's Las Vegas resorts during the tournament. Guests who book early can secure special rates by visiting Caesars.com and using the booking code WSOP23. Rates are based on availability and are subject to change.
