In the press release, Ty Stewart, the senior vice president and executive director of the World Series of Poker, said:
“The historical premiere of the WSOP on the Las Vegas Strip was a grand success and we’re thrilled to reveal our summer 2025 dates just in time for the holiday season. Poker enthusiasts and followers can now formally set their schedules and perhaps even plan a trip to the WSOP as a holiday present for their loved ones or themselves. We’re delighted to return to Paris Las Vegas and the upcoming Horseshoe Las Vegas for another exhilarating chapter in the tournament’s history. Both these resorts set high standards in hosting last year’s event.”
