2025 WSOP!!
I know it’s early and normally I’m not excited about WSOP this soon after but dang it, I’m itching to go back already!
I made some deep runs and cashed in 2024 but still feel unfulfilled by going home without some hardware on my wrist.
2025 is my year!!
Any thoughts on how the GG purchase might change it in 2025, if at all? I suspect it will be pretty similar to last year but with more online qualifiers, satellites, and events.
If you're going to stay at The Shoe, or any other strip-casino, you might want to request a room that's not adjacent to the strip.
Unless you're really high up, the strip can be very noisy with traffic, even early in the morning. Heavy trucks, street racers, emergency services, etc. can be rather counterproductive for sleep, one of the keys to WSOP success...
good luck with your wsop hotel bookings.
Good advice but I wonder how easy for them to oblige. I use an app on my iPhone to generate 'white noise' in an attempt to mask out annoying ambient noise. I think the app is called 'rain rain' or such.
Schedule on 2/17 supposedly.
Wow, Seniors $5000 High Roller. Wonder what the turnout will be for that.
I was checking Horseshoe rates. WSOP25 doesn't apply except for a scattered few dates. Nothing new there. Just for the heck of it I clicked on room amenities.
"Refrigerator (upon request)"
Wait, what? I've never had to ask for it before. What are they doing? I've stayed there since the WSOP moved to the strip and there's always been a 'fridge. I want a 'fridge. I need a 'fridge'. I didn't know I needed to ask for one when I reserved a room. What are they trying to pull?

You thought CET was cheap? Eldorado is cheaper. The hotel they bought was full of refrigerators, so they didn't minde providing them. But refrigerators wear out and break. When they do, they aren't replaced. That's what allows them to claim the amenity of providing refrigerators in the rooms without having one in each room. The hotel came with a couple thousand of them and not every guest requests one.
That's my theory anyway.
Poker News appear to agree….
Any chance GG runs online sattys to $1500 marquee events? Or typically just the Main?
I feel like a kid before Christmas waiting for the schedule to be released later today
haha same here, also goes for the next days and weeks when the other venues will publish theirs.
Only the Orleans and GN schedules are worth waiting for IMO (along with WSOP of course). That’s where the interesting variants are to be found - the ones whose dates you might want to plan your trip around. GN tend to be one of the earlier releases, whereas Orleans usually release their schedule pretty late.
Seniors events are also something one might want to specifically target, although they all generally happen over the course of a week or so, arranged around the WSOP seniors c. June 18.
Venetian, MGM, RW, Wynn etc issue schedules that are largely Holdem-fests, with some variation in buy-in and structure. But nothing you need to see before you book a flight.
Much, much later today, unfortunately. It’s already 7 hours since you posted. And, for instance, 4pm Vegas time would still be another 11 hours away….And that’s if they do actually release today at all…..

My guess now is tomorrow, tuesday, at 11am.
It is exactly 99 days to may 27th tomorrow...
... So exactly 100 days left today btw... 😀
Re: Schedule release
I think their Twitter (X) post from yesterday said 9 AM Pacific time. Noon Eastern.
Yeah 9AM PST
Let's goooooo
Knowing my luck the Colossus will be on the 23rd, the day I leave for Vegas
My guess Main Event will be 25k🤡
Here it is:
