The best poker rooms in Las Vegas are at The Venetian, Wynn and ARIA, with Horseshoe as the pick for World Series of Poker fans. Below, nine rooms are ranked by table count, games, tournament series and the hotel deals they offer players, with the recent closures and the WSOP 2027 status, all checked in November 2026.

Quick answer

The Venetian has the biggest poker room in Las Vegas, with 50 tables in 14,000 square feet and DeepStack tournament series scheduled into 2027. Wynn Las Vegas is the pick for big series, with the WPT World Championship from Nov. 27 to Dec. 21, 2026, and ARIA for high-roller events at the PokerGO Studio. Horseshoe hosted the 2026 WSOP with Paris; 2027 dates aren’t announced yet.

How we checked: on Nov. 8, 2026, we read the poker pages of The Venetian, Wynn, South Point, Red Rock and Green Valley Ranch, plus the official WSOP calendar and PokerGO’s tour schedule. MGM and Caesars pages block automated reads, so ARIA, Bellagio, Horseshoe and Caesars Palace details come from our October 2026 checks of their official pages. Our hotel review method explains how we rank; no pick is sponsored.

Table counts are what each casino publishes; where we couldn’t read one on an official page, the table says so. The rooms are listed in rank order.

What changed in 2026

  • Early 2026: Planet Hollywood closed its poker room; its FAQ now sends players to Horseshoe.
  • March 30: Resorts World closed its poker room, leaving eight on the Strip by Casino.org’s count.
  • May 26 to July 15: the 57th WSOP ran at Horseshoe and Paris, with 100 events and a 9,208-entry Main Event.
  • July 8: Golden Nugget opened a relocated nine-table room in its Rush Tower lobby, according to local news reports.
  • Nov. 27 to Dec. 21: the WPT World Championship returns to Wynn for a fifth year.

1. The Venetian: Biggest Poker Room

Biggest Poker Room

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

Center Strip Luxury

  • All-suite rooms
  • Indoor bridge to Sphere
  • Two guest-only pool decks
  • World of Hyatt hotel

The Venetian’s poker room has 50 tables in 14,000 square feet, and the resort bills it as the largest on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s open 24 hours, on level 2 of the Grand Canal Shoppes on The Palazzo side, next to The Palazzo’s self-parking garage.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Fifty tables means a wide spread of cash games around the clock, and the DeepStack Poker Series keeps tournaments running almost all year. The Venetian’s poker page and DeepStack schedule listed these series on Nov. 8, 2026:

SeriesDatesHeadline event
WPT Fall FestivalOct. 28 to Nov. 15, 2026$5,000 WPT Fall Championship, $2 million guaranteed
DeepStack Extravaganza IVNov. 16 to Dec. 23, 2026$2,200 PokerAtlas Championship, $1 million guaranteed (Dec. 12 to 14)
DeepStack Extravaganza NYEDec. 24, 2026, to Jan. 10, 2027$2,200 Ante Up Championship, $300,000 guaranteed (Dec. 27 to 31)
DeepStack ShowdownJan. 11 to Feb. 14, 2027$1,600 MSPT PokerBowl XI, $1 million guaranteed (Feb. 10 to 13)
DeepStack Championship 2027May to July 2027Schedule expected around March 2027

Cash players earn $2 in Poker Rewards per hour, and high-hand giveaways pay every 30 minutes through November and December. The bigger perk is the poker suite rate: each night needs six hours of live cash play or a $300-plus tournament buy-in by you or a guest on the reservation, completed by 2 a.m. on your last night. Missed nights are billed at the regular rate, and the offer can’t be combined with other promotions. Visitors staying elsewhere get free self-parking after three hours of play.

Book The Palazzo tower if you’ll play daily, since the room is on that side; our Palazzo review compares its suites with the Venetian tower’s.

Watch out for: a $55 resort fee plus tax (as of October 2026), $20 a day for guest self-parking (as of November 2026) and smoking on the casino floor.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

2. Wynn Las Vegas: Best for Tournament Series

Best for Tournament Series

Wynn Las Vegas

North Strip Luxury

  • Free guest self-parking
  • Five-Star Tower Suites & spa
  • Wynn Golf Club
  • Lake of Dreams

The Wynn Poker Room, inside Encore, runs cash games and tournaments 24 hours a day. Its year is built around series: the Wynn Fall Classic ran from Sept. 28 to Oct. 25 with more than $2 million in guarantees, and the WPT World Championship follows from Nov. 27 to Dec. 21.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Wynn says 2026 is the WPT World Championship’s fifth year at the resort, and the new Super Gold Million has a $400 buy-in and a $3,000,000 guarantee. Between series, daily tournaments run twice a day, including a $10,000 guaranteed event every evening at 6 p.m. and a $40,000 guaranteed No-Limit Hold’em rebuy on Fridays. The daily schedule pauses during the Wynn Signature, Wynn Millions and Classic series, so check the Wynn poker page first.

Players get free same-day self-parking (have the ticket verified in the poker room), and the room takes requests for preferred hotel rates by email. Standard rooms measure 640 square feet at Wynn and 745 at Encore, the tower with the poker room; our Encore review compares the two.

Watch out for: no published table count or cash-game stakes, smoking on the casino floor and a $55 resort fee plus tax (as of October 2026).

3. ARIA: Best for High-Roller Tournaments

ARIA Resort & Casino's curved glass towers against a blue sky

Best for High-Roller Tournaments

ARIA Resort & Casino

Center Strip Luxury

  • Modern, tech-forward rooms
  • Forbes Five-Star spa
  • LIQUID Pool Lounge (21+)
  • Steps from Bellagio

ARIA’s 24-table poker room sits on the east side of the casino next to the Main Valet pick-up, and the resort is home to the PokerGO Studio, which hosts televised tournaments. MGM’s casino copy cites a fresh-air ventilation system that filters out smoke.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

This is where high-stakes tournament poker gets filmed. PokerGO’s tour calendar, read Nov. 8, lists an ARIA High Roller Series at the PokerGO Studio: five $5,300 No-Limit Hold’em events from Nov. 28 to Dec. 2. The public can attend studio events one event at a time.

The free ARIA Express tram runs to Bellagio, so one trip can split between ARIA’s tables and Bellagio’s Legends Room; our Bellagio vs ARIA comparison weighs the hotels, and our ARIA Las Vegas review covers its 520-square-foot Deluxe corner rooms.

Watch out for: the table count is from our Oct. 5, 2026, check, since MGM’s pages block automated reads. Smoking is allowed in designated casino areas, and the resort fee is $55 plus tax with $20-a-day guest self-parking (as of October 2026).

4. Horseshoe Las Vegas: Best for WSOP Fans

Best for WSOP Fans

Horseshoe Las Vegas

Center Strip Mid-range

  • Four Corners location
  • WSOP Hall of Fame poker room
  • Monorail station
  • Blu Pool

The World Series of Poker Hall of Fame Poker Room has 18 tables in 4,900 square feet, deals No-Limit and Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha and Omaha 8, and runs daily tournaments. Caesars calls Horseshoe the official Strip home of the World Series of Poker.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Horseshoe and Paris, which connect indoors, hosted the 2026 WSOP from May 26 to July 15, and Horseshoe held WSOP Circuit stops from March 19 to 30 and July 14 to 25, 2026. For a summer series, these two hotels keep you indoors between your room and the tournament floor; our Paris Las Vegas review covers the neighbor’s rooms and rooftop pool.

Horseshoe itself is the value play: Resort Rooms of about 450 square feet, a Monorail station on site and a $49.95 resort fee plus tax (as of October 2026), $5 below Paris and Caesars Palace. Planet Hollywood’s and Harrah’s FAQs both point live players here.

Watch out for: at 18 tables, the room is about a third the size of The Venetian’s. Smoking is permitted on the casino floor, Caesars doesn’t publish garage rates, and Blu Pool opens Friday to Sunday only. Our Horseshoe Las Vegas review has the rest.

5. Bellagio: Best for High-Stakes Players

Best for High-Stakes Players

Bellagio Las Vegas

Center Strip Luxury

  • Fountain-view rooms
  • Conservatory & gardens
  • Five-pool courtyard
  • "O" by Cirque du Soleil

Bellagio’s poker room includes the high-limit Legends Room, formerly Bobby’s Room, inside a 156,000-square-foot casino. The ARIA Express tram links it to ARIA’s poker room.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Bellagio pairs a high-limit card room with a center-Strip address and the fountains out front. We couldn’t confirm a current table count or stakes on an official page, so if a specific big game is the reason for your trip, ask the poker desk whether it’s running that week.

Watch out for: casino smoke, which guests regularly mention, a $55 resort fee plus tax and $20-a-day guest self-parking (as of October 2026).

6. Caesars Palace: Best Backup at the Four Corners

Caesars Palace towers behind its fountains and gardens on the Strip

Best Backup at the Four Corners

Caesars Palace

Center Strip Upscale

  • Garden of the Gods pools
  • The Colosseum
  • Forum Shops
  • Celebrity-chef dining

Caesars Palace runs a WSOP-branded poker room next to its high-limit areas and a sportsbook with a 143-foot HD LED screen. The LINQ’s FAQ puts the poker room about 10 minutes from The LINQ hotel.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Caesars publishes little about the room itself, so it ranks below Horseshoe across the intersection. It’s still the second card room at the Four Corners, and Harrah’s FAQ sends live players to one or the other. If you’ll split the trip between cards and football, Caesars also tops the Strip in our ranking of the best sportsbooks in Las Vegas.

Watch out for: a $54.95 resort fee plus tax (as of October 2026), a 4 p.m. check-in, and garage and valet fees Caesars doesn’t publish.

7. South Point: Best Off-Strip Value

South Point guest room with two queen beds

Best Off-Strip Value

South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa

Off-Strip (South) Mid-range

  • Airport shuttle (in resort fee)
  • Free parking
  • 64-lane bowling center
  • Arena & NFR-week events

South Point’s poker room is open 24 hours and non-smoking. It spreads Limit Hold’em at $4-8 and $8-16, Omaha 8-or-Better at the same limits and No-Limit Hold’em at $1-2, $2-3 and $3-5, with Stud, Omaha and mixed games on request.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Tournaments start daily at 10:10 a.m., 2:10 p.m., 6:10 p.m. and 10:10 p.m., with buy-ins of $120 and $300. Out-of-town players can get room rates with four hours of cash play, parking is free, and the $33 resort fee (as of October 2026) is the lowest on this list; our guide to Las Vegas resort fees compares the rest.

Watch out for: the address, 9777 Las Vegas Blvd. South, well south of the Strip’s resorts, so plan on a car or a rideshare.

8. Red Rock: Best Locals’ Room

Best Locals' Room

Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa

Off-Strip (Summerlin) Upscale

  • Handy for Red Rock Canyon
  • Free parking
  • Resort pool & cabanas
  • Spa

Station Casinos’ Red Rock Resort lists 20 tables spreading Limit and No-Limit Hold’em at all levels, plus Stud, Omaha and mixed games. Players earn 1,000 Boarding Pass points for every hour of play.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

Red Rock suits players who want a resort stay in Summerlin, with free parking and a $50.85 resort fee, tax included (as of October 2026). Weekend High Hands run Friday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 9:59 p.m. and pay shares of $24,000. Station’s Green Valley Ranch room in Henderson runs the same promotions, though its page lists both 15 and 20 tables.

Watch out for: no tournament schedule on the poker page, and a drive to the Strip.

9. Golden Nugget: Best Downtown

Golden Nugget Las Vegas guest room with a king bed

Best Downtown

Golden Nugget Las Vegas

Downtown Mid-range

  • On Fremont Street
  • Free guest self-parking
  • The Tank pool
  • Steakhouses

Golden Nugget opened a relocated nine-table poker room in its Rush Tower lobby on July 8, 2026, according to local news reports. Registered hotel guests self-park free, and the poker room validates parking for visitors.

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.

This is the room for a Fremont Street trip. Circa, at the other end of the Fremont Street Experience, “currently does not offer a dedicated poker room,” says its guest guide.

Watch out for: a small room, so bigger tournaments mean a trip to the Strip, and a $46 resort fee plus tax (as of October 2026).

Other Strip poker rooms, and the ones that closed

  • MGM Grand has a poker room, one of eight left on the Strip as of March 2026, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. We couldn’t confirm its tables or games.
  • Mandalay Bay was on Casino.org’s list of eight, but its poker page returned an error on Oct. 5, 2026, so call before you go.
  • Closed: Resorts World (March 30, 2026, confirmed by a spokesperson to Global Gaming Business), Planet Hollywood (early 2026), SAHARA (Nov. 16, 2024, per the Review-Journal) and Flamingo (2021).
  • No poker room: Circa, Park MGM, Treasure Island, Harrah’s and The LINQ.

WSOP 2027 dates: what’s announced so far

As of Nov. 8, 2026, the 2027 World Series of Poker dates haven’t been announced. The official WSOP calendar runs only to the WSOP Super Circuit LATAM in Punta Cana (Jan. 24 to Feb. 2, 2027). Poker trade press expects a late-May to mid-July series at Horseshoe and Paris again, but that’s an expectation, not an announcement; the same outlets reported the 2026 dates in December 2025.

The 2026 series, per WSOP:

2026 WSOPDetail
DatesMay 26 to July 15, 2026
VenuesHorseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas
Events100 on the schedule
Main Event$10,000 buy-in; Day 1 on July 2; 9,208 entries
Final tableAug. 3 to 5, 2026, for a $10,000,000 first prize

If you’re planning for next summer, hold a refundable rate at Horseshoe or Paris and confirm it once the schedule posts. The Venetian’s DeepStack Championship also runs from May to July 2027.

Poker player perks: room rates, parking and rewards

These are the official player offers we found:

HotelRoom offerParking for playersRewards

Prices vary according to travel dates and availability, so compare the poker rate with the public rate for your nights. Visitors parking at Wynn without a validation pay $25 a day after three free hours (as of November 2026); our Las Vegas parking fees guide covers the rest of the Strip.

How to choose a poker room hotel

  • Pick by game. The Venetian for the widest cash-game spread at any hour, The Venetian or Wynn for tournament series, South Point for $120 and $300 buy-ins.
  • Sleep above the tables. Sessions run late, and an elevator beats a 3 a.m. rideshare.
  • Ask for the poker rate first. The Venetian and South Point publish their play rules; Wynn takes requests.
  • Count the full cost. Add the resort fee, tax and parking. Wynn, South Point, Red Rock and Golden Nugget park hotel guests free (as of October 2026).

For trips that aren’t built around poker, our ranking of the best hotels in Las Vegas covers every trip type.

Play responsibly

Nevada law bars anyone under 21 from gambling or loitering in gaming areas, so bring photo ID, and set a session budget before you sit down. The Nevada Council on Problem Gambling’s 24-hour helpline is 1-800-GAMBLER, and the National Council on Problem Gambling’s is 1-800-522-4700; the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s October 2025 notice confirms both are in operation.

FAQ

What is the biggest poker room in Las Vegas?

The Venetian’s, with 50 tables across 14,000 square feet, which the resort bills as the largest poker room on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s open 24 hours on level 2 of the Grand Canal Shoppes, on The Palazzo side. The next-largest counts we could confirm are ARIA’s 24 tables, Red Rock’s 20 and Horseshoe’s 18; Wynn and Bellagio don’t publish counts we could read.

When is the WSOP 2027 in Las Vegas?

The dates haven’t been announced. As of Nov. 8, 2026, the official WSOP calendar listed no 2027 Las Vegas summer series. The 2026 series ran from May 26 to July 15 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, with the $10,000 Main Event starting July 2, and trade press expects a similar window in 2027. Book a refundable rate until the schedule is out.

Which Las Vegas poker room is best for tournaments?

The Venetian, for volume: its DeepStack series run almost back to back from October 2026 to February 2027, with a DeepStack Championship planned for May to July 2027. Wynn is best for one big festival, the WPT World Championship from Nov. 27 to Dec. 21, 2026. South Point is the budget pick, with four daily tournaments at $120 and $300 buy-ins.

Does Resorts World still have a poker room?

No. Resorts World closed its poker room on March 30, 2026, which a resort spokesperson confirmed to Global Gaming Business. Some of the resort’s own gaming pages still showed a poker room afterward, so don’t rely on them. On the north Strip, Wynn’s 24-hour room inside Encore and The Venetian’s 50-table room on The Palazzo side are both open.

Is there a non-smoking poker room in Las Vegas?

Yes. South Point says its 24-hour poker room is non-smoking, and ARIA’s casino copy describes a fresh-air ventilation system that filters out smoke. The other Strip rooms on this list sit inside casinos that allow smoking in designated areas. Park MGM has a smoke-free casino but no poker room; ARIA’s tables are a short ride away on the free ARIA Express tram.

Poker rates and series dates change, so price two or three of these hotels on your exact nights before you book.
