With WSOP Paradise concluding the World Series of Poker’s 2023
event calendar, all efforts shift to preparation for the flagship
2024 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Today, the WSOP announced
its 2024 summer tournament dates for the 55th annual WSOP,
including the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em World Championship – best
known to poker fans as the “Main Event.”
The 2023 WSOP shattered all tournament records on its way to
awarding more than $400,000,000 in prize pools. The summer was
highlighted by the all-time record field of 10,043 entrants in the
Main Event won by Daniel Weinman, who earned $12.1 million with his
victory.
“There’s not much more that can be said about what a special
year 2023 was for the WSOP and the game of poker,” said Ty Stewart,
SVP and Executive Director of the World Series of Poker. “But it’s
time to turn the page and begin the countdown to 2024. Records are
made to be broken. We’re busy on improvements to make sure 2024 is
both the biggest and best event in poker history. Mark your
calendars and bank those vacation days. We’ll see you in
Vegas.”
The 2024 WSOP will take place at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris
Las Vegas from May 28 to July 17, 2024, with the Main Event running
from July 3 to July 17. The Main Event – poker’s undisputed
freezeout world championship – will have four starting days,
beginning on Wednesday, July 3. Players may also register directly
on Day 2 on either July 7 or July 8.
The full daily event schedule for the 55th annual WSOP will be
announced in early 2024. Fan favorites, including the Mystery
Millions, Millionaire Maker, and the Senior’s Championship, will
return to the schedule in 2024. Reduced room rates will be
available across Caesars Entertainment’s Las Vegas resorts for the
series. Players and guests should stay tuned to WSOP social media
channels and WSOP.com for updates on special rates available at
www.caesars.com.
Players can visit www.wsop.com/promotions for full details on

will be exclusively held on GGPoker beginning in January.
Additional details regarding the entire gold bracelet schedule will

open after all events have been determined and approved by
regulators.
