The Series, which took place at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino for the past 17 years, is moving to the Horseshoe and ParisĪ couple of casino properties owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment. Starting 2022, the WSOP will be played at a brand new location on the actual Las Vegas Strip. Once all was said and done, the WSOP had some big news to share with the poker community. The coronavirus pandemic that shook the world put the Series on hold in 2020, while the 2021 edition was held late compared to earlier years, the first-ever winter WSOP. The World Series of Poker has traditionally been the most prestigious poker festival of the year and the one where the biggest stories of the poker world are made every single summer.
