It may feel like the first ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) played on the Las Vegas Strip only just ended, but Caesars Entertainment has already come out with the announcement for the 54^th Annual WSOP, to be played between May 30 and July 18, 2023.

The 54^th edition of the WSOP will be played in full at Paris Las Vegas and Bally’s Las Vegas (soon to be called Horseshoe), the same venues that hosted the 53^rd edition.

Considering the massive success of the first ever WSOP to be played on the Strip itself, we can expect next year’s festival to be bigger and better than ever before.

The 2022 WSOP drew in a total of almost 200,000 entrants and paid out nearly $350 million in cash prizes, making it by far the biggest live poker festival of the year.

Now that the dates for the WSOP are announced, the organizers have also made reservations possible for accommodations across the venues, with special discounted rates available for players who book in advance.

Speaking of the upcoming WSOP, Senior Vice President and Executive Director of WSOP Ty Stewart said:

“The historic debut of the WSOP on the Las Vegas Strip delivered in a big way, and we’re excited to announce our Summer 2023 dates in time for the holidays.

Poker players and fans can now officially mark their calendars and maybe even book their loved ones or themselves a trip to the WSOP as a holiday gift.

We’re glad to be back at Paris Las Vegas and the future Horseshoe Las Vegas for another exciting chapter in the tournament’s history as these two resorts raised the bar in hosting last year’s event.”

We are delighted to announce the 2023 World Series of Poker will return to the Las Vegas Strip at @ParisVegas, and the soon-to-be @HorseshoeVegas on May 30 – July 18, 2023.

What to Expect from the 54^th Annual WSOP

While the full WSOP schedule is yet to be announced, Caesars has given us an insight into some of the unique events that players around the world have probably been waiting for.

Leading that list, of course, is the Main Event, the $10,000 NLHE Championship tournament that is always the highlight of the Series.

The Main Event will feature the same kind of structure as usual, and we can expect the Series to aim for a record-breaking year, following last year’s 8,663 entries for the most popular $10k event of the year.

Apart from that, WSOP will be bringing back the super successful $1k Mystery Million, a $1k tournament with mystery bounties up to $1 million and a cool million for the winner, which was one of the big highlights of last summer.

Other events we’ve now grown accustomed to such as the Millionaire Maker, the Colossus, Lucky 7s, Seniors Championship and Ladies Championship will all be making the roster as well.

This year, for the first time, Caesars also announced a $300 Gladiators of Poker event with an incredible $3 million guaranteed prize pool, which is guaranteed to draw a lot of attention.

Here is a list of the WSOP events whose dates have been confirmed thus far:

EVENT	DATE	BUY-IN
Mystery Millions	May 31	$1,000
Gladiators of Poker	June 7	$300
Monster Stack	June 16	$1,500
Seniors Championship	June 21	$1,000
Millionaire Maker	June 23	$1,500
Ladies Championship	June 29	$1,000
Colossus	June 30	$400
Mini Main Event	July 2	$1,000
WSOP Main Event	July 3	$10,000
Lucky 7s	July 7	$777
Ultra Stack	July 11	$600
The Closer	July 14	$1,500

All of these are part of the preliminary announcement, but we are guaranteed to hear about all the Championship events and the High Rollers in the coming weeks as well.

Now that the dates for the WSOP 2023 have been confirmed, all that’s left is to start planning your trip, get time off from work, and book your early flights and accommodations in the fabulous Las Vegas next summer.
