2024 WSOP!
The World Series of Poker has wrapped up its newest winter series and is announcing new details for the 2024 summer event in Las Vegas.
“…..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 July 7 and 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. …..”
This is strange and inconvenient.
Not sure if I will play it now. Very inconvenient to fly to LA to play it right before the WSOP. Not sure the value is there when factoring in time/expenses.
Anyone else playing this gladiator donkey show?
Posting up at the Venetian June 6th…
WTF is this WSOP?! Put TOC in the WSOP in Vegas as the........100th event
Go to California the week before WSOP? Thanks for the slap in the face.
I'm evaluating my options, will be in town that weekend. Really wish it was the Mystery Bounty instead!
Thanks for sharing the pic! A little bummed it seems like it won’t be in the middle of the action but if it works better logistically, I’m all for it.
I played a couple Circuit events there. The big benefit is availability and proximity of bathrooms.
Although it's hard to beat the Paris mega-bathroom.
Now we wait.
For BravoPokerLive WSOP registration to go live.
Last year it was April 13th so about two weeks away if they maintain a similar schedule.

I always just register live at the cage. Other than not wanting to carry a lot of cash, why do people tend to register so early with a fee?

Well maybe it is silly but I typically want to play the last flight and want to be assured that I get to sit down to play at the start and not risk waiting in a standby line. The other consideration, which might be nonsense, is that I figure that players who register early are typically eager amateurs rather than seasoned pro's and maybe that increases my chance of being seated at a table of amateurs rather than sharks. There is also the reluctance to be traveling with a ton of cash. I am wanting to see if that Payfiniti option reduces the cost of registering ahead of time.
In my experience, there's never a line if you register after 9-10 PM the night before your event.
Long waits happen when people are re-registering or when they show up right before an event starts.
Agree with this. Seems like such a bad move by the WSOP. It should be in vegas and at a time when folks kinda plan to be there. I think it would be cool if they did it online also and maybe had x number of players come back down to a certain #- maybe 45-180 players left and have it go live so it’s not such an inconvenience. (I know online would be disliked by some but it seems like a solid move to make it convenient for folks).
I feel it might be super value though bc I would assume a lot of people won’t go and play it in LA.
I didn’t win a ring this year so it doesn’t impact me but I kinda feel bad for the folks that won’t make the trip to LA. Just seems like a really bad move.

Definitely the worst lines are in the morning, but I tried that late-in-the-evening strategy a couple years ago (think it was around 9:00) and was in line for over an hour. The line seemed pretty short when I got in it, but it just didn't move because they didn't have enough tellers working at that hour. After that experience I've happily paid the credit card fee to use the kiosks, but obviously it's up to you to balance the fee vs. your patience for waiting in line.
However, I still don't register too early. Life can throw curveballs at you, and if something comes up and I have to cancel or alter my trip, I don't want to have to mess with trying to cancel the registration. I generally register on the app the morning of my flight to Vegas. Still plenty early to not have to worry about a flight filling up.
This will be my 4th Wsop. Coming in for 6-19 to 6-29.
Excited to play the millionaire maker for the first time. Firing 1 or 2 bullets.
Why anyone would stand on line more than once I don’t know. Very simple, wait on line at the Wsop cage once at an off time and load the $ you will need for your Wsop buy ins throughout your trip to your Wsop tbic account. Once you fund your tbic acct with $$, you can then register using bravo app and print your ticket at the kiosk for a $3 fee each time. Well worth not standing in these huge lines. The only way that doesn’t work is if you are only playing one tournament specifically but I assume most of us are playing more than one.

I've seen long lines at 6 am, I've seen long lines at 10 pm, and everything in between.

If you do it online, everyone has to be in the state where it's licensed. So that would mean NV. People would be pissed to have to fly to NV and then play online, so they might as well have it live.
Where is it, Commerce? I wouldn't go either. Not that it would ever be an issue.

There's another way it won't work. Can't app.
I don't think I've waited more than 45 minutes in line at Rio or Paris ever. By 10 PM, most people have busted their events and gone home. Venue is generally pretty empty at night. I've regged many events over the years and I'd estimate the average non-peak wait time as sub 20 minutes. My sense is that most of the grumbling about lines comes from people who show up the morning of their event and are somehow surprised that the sea doesn't miraculously part for them. Do the bare minimum of research/preparation and you can largely avoid those headaches. The one spot where you can't really avoid it is if you bust early and decide to rebuy, because that's not really a scenario you can prepare for, and you'll be a prisoner of demand.
In general though, hit the cage after 10 PM the night before your event and you shouldn't have any serious issues.
How's the walk from Horseshoe to Wynn? I am planning on spending 100% of my time playing at either wsop or wynn, probably 50/50 between the two. Can't decide if I want to stay somewhere in between the two (Harrahs etc) or have full convenience of staying at one of the locations (horseshoe) but then having a longer walk to the other.

30-35 minutes maybe? It's not a brutal one from a distance standpoint, but Wynn poker room is on the opposite end of the property. You're cutting across Cromwell, Flamingo, LINQ, Harrah's, Venetian, and Palazzo. Gonna take a while. I stayed at LINQ last week for the Horseshoe WSOP-C while playing primarily at Wynn/Venetian and it felt like a good middle ground.
Yeah it's a solid haul. I like walking the strip for the most part, and stayed at Venetian some of the time last year and found that fine. But it will be warm and a solid 30-45 minutes from room to room. Definitely figure the cut-through routes to save time and outside steps.
