In what has long been expected by industry insiders, it has now been confirmed that the World Series of Poker (WSOP) will move to the Las Vegas Strip in 2022, saying goodbye to its home of the past seventeen years of The Rio All Suite Hotel & Casino.
The 53rd annual WSOP poker festival will now be held in the traditional summer slot at the end of May between Bally’s and Paris casinos, both owned by Caesars Entertainment, the WSOP’s parent company—and which are situated next to each other on the Las Vegas strip.
The WSOP has also revealed that A-list actor and poker enthusiast Vince Vaughn will be Master of Ceremonies for the 2022 edition.
“We are absolutely thrilled with this year’s turnout, both domestically and internationally,” World Series of Poker Senior Vice President, Ty Stewart via press release. “As we close out this chapter at the Rio, we are excited to have the iconic Vince Vaughn usher in a new era of WSOP at Bally’s and Paris next summer.”
