The party precedes the $40-million World Championship game
Named the ‘Event of the Year’ at the 2022 Global Poker Awards, the World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship claimed the award because of its mix of festivities and top poker action, including the Players Party. Just like last year, this year’s celebration will again be held once again at Las Vegas’s AREA15 on December 11.
“As players discovered last year, AREA15 provides the ultimate player party experience in its uniqueness and fun, interactive nature,” declared WPT CEO Adam Pliska. “We cannot wait to see everyone there and continue the celebration of the biggest WPT event ever.”
The WPT Players Party is from 8 PM to 1 AM, the day before the start of the $10,400 buy-in, $40 million GTD WPT World Championship event.
Three different spaces at AREA15 will host the festivities, beginning with Asylum, a huge arcade bar furnished with an assembly of game options, then proceeding to Portal, one of the world’s most adaptable and futuristic event spaces with a unique sight and sound experience and a WPT theme. The Wall is reserved for VIP players, a private area in a laid-back environment with live music.
The night’s musical entertainment includes DJs Fergie, Sub Zero, Max Styler and LEFIH. Other entertainment will be provided throughout the club, like dancers, acrobats and more. There’s also an open bar, flavorful food and a host of other activities.
Anyone holding a tournament buy-in or satellite receipt for the WPT World Championship, WPT Prime Championship, or WPT Ladies Championship is invited to the Players Party, where they’ll receive a wristband to gain entry.
The WPT also provides shuttle service between the Encore Las Vegas and AREA15 every 30 minutes, with the last shuttle departing AREA15 at 1 AM.
