Long-awaited dates for the 2025 edition of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour have finally been announced. The operator has confirmed that the festival will be taking place Nov 3 — 12 at the popular Resorts World Las Vegas. The main festival will be preceded by PokerStars Open.
Building on the success from the previous two years and especially on the momentum of last year’s Main Event, which saw a staggering field of 895 entries and a prize pool of $4.3 million, PokerStars is raising the bar this year once more.
In addition to the $3,000,000 guaranteed Main Event, the 2025 NAPT will have a special emphasis on women’s events. The guarantee for the $300 Women’s Event will be increased to $50,000 (from $30,000), and the Women’s High Roller has been added to the schedule as well.

The 2025 NAPT Schedule & Key Events
While all the details for the festival are still being worked out, PokerStars has revealed dates and information for all the most important events.
The $5,300 Main Event will feature a big $3,000,000 guarantee, same like last year, but if 2024 is anything to go by, that guarantee will be blown out of the water. The tournament is set to take place Nov 6 — 12.
In terms of guarantees, the PokerStars Open, taking place Nov 3 — 6, is the second-biggest taking place at the Resorts World, featuring a buy-in of $1,100 and a prize pool of at least $500,000.
The last event of the festival, the $550 Mystery Bounty also comes with a very generous guarantee of $200,000, and this one in particular is likely to garner some interest.
As already mentioned, the $300 NAPT Women’s Event will feature an increased guarantee of $50,000, and ladies will have another tournament just for them in the $1,100 Women’s High Roller.
Talking about the upcoming festival, Steve Preiss, Director of TSG Interactive, emphasized the commitment to creating the best possible experience for the players and making NAPT Las Vegas “another must-play event on the poker calendar.”

Giving Everyone a Shot
Seeking to set new attendance records and give all players a chance to get involved, PokerStars will be organizing different types of satellites and online qualification paths on PokerStars US and PokerStars Ontario sites.
Of course, players can also use their Gold Passes won via popular Power Path to join the NAPT Main Event action this November.
Thanks to these different opportunities, many players will be able to join the action and rub elbows not only with some of the best poker players in the world but also with celebrities from other walks of life.
Last year saw the likes of NFL superstar Rob (Gronk) Gronkowski, football legend Gerard Piqué, and sports media personality Nick Wright in attendance, and the 2025 NAPT is likely to feature a similar star power, making the whole festival that much more exciting.
In the words of the PokerStars Ambassador Maria Konnikova: “The energy, the competition, the atmosphere, there’s nothing like it.”
