This is the first time both tournaments will be held in Vegas simultaneously
A full World Series of Poker (WSOP) Circuit stop is coming to Las Vegas this summer, running alongside the tail end of the World Series of Poker. The added series will take place July 14-25, 2026, at Horseshoe Las Vegas, overlapping with the final days of the 100-event bracelet schedule. The summer WSOP itself runs from May 26 through July 15 at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
This marks the first time a complete Circuit stop will be staged in Las Vegas immediately following the main summer festival. The bracelet schedule already includes a $1,700 Circuit Championship event, but this new addition brings a full slate of traditional gold ring tournaments. Players will now have nearly two straight months of WSOP-branded action in the city.
The Circuit series opens July 14 with a $400 No-Limit Hold’em Mini Main Event featuring multiple starting flights. A mix of No-Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, and mixed-game formats will fill out the schedule. A $1,125 No-Limit Hold’em event is set for July 19, followed by a $2,200 High Roller on July 20.
The $1,700 Circuit Main Event begins July 21 with several Day 1 flights before playing down to a champion later in the week. High-stakes players will also find bigger buy-ins, including a $3,300 High Roller on July 23 and a $5,000 High Roller on July 24. The final ring events wrap up July 25.
Las Vegas regularly hosts Circuit stops during the year, but placing one directly after the summer series represents a shift in scheduling. Players traveling in for bracelet events now have the option to stay longer and chase a ring once the bracelets are awarded. For many, the summer grind just became an even longer test of endurance.
