What to Expect
WSOP Nightlife Guide
The World Series of Poker is the most prestigious poker tournament on the planet, and it takes place in Las Vegas every summer. Tens of thousands of poker players and fans descend on the city for six weeks of tournament action. While the poker runs during the day, the nights belong to the Strip’s nightclubs and strip clubs. WSOP brings a unique crowd to Vegas — high-rolling poker players who are used to spending big and staying out late. The overlap with pool party season makes it the perfect time for a Vegas trip that combines daytime pool action with late-night club energy.
