Poker in Nevada: Las Vegas rooms, the WSOP and what's legal online
No state matters more to poker than Nevada. Las Vegas hosts the World Series of Poker every summer, the WPT World Championship at the Wynn every December and the biggest cash games in the country year-round, and Nevada was the first state to regulate online poker, in 2013. This page covers what is legal online, where to play live and which events fill the calendar.

Poker rooms & casinos in Nevada
All venuesIs online poker legal in Nevada?
Yes. Nevada legalised and regulated real-money online poker in 2013 under the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and WSOP.com is the licensed room; it shares player pools with New Jersey and Michigan under the multi-state agreement, and offers online bracelet events during the WSOP. You must be physically in Nevada and at least 21 to play. Alongside it, sweepstakes poker such as ClubWPT Gold is available to Nevada residents from 18. Offshore sites are not licensed and we do not list them. This is general information, not legal advice.
Live poker in Las Vegas
The Strip's flagship rooms are the Bellagio, home of Bobby's Room and the WPT Five Diamond; Aria, home of the highest-stakes tournament series in the world; and the Wynn, which runs the biggest guaranteed tournaments outside the WSOP and hosts the WPT World Championship. The Venetian, Resorts World, Caesars and dozens of locals' rooms fill in the rest. Our venue pages cover the big three, and the WSOP itself — roughly 100 bracelet events at Paris and Horseshoe from late May to mid-July — is the reason the whole poker world moves to Las Vegas every summer.
Events
The WSOP (May–July), the Wynn Summer Classic and Aria's Poker Masters and US Poker Open run in the summer; the WPT World Championship at the Wynn (December) and the Bellagio's Five Diamond (December) close the year. Our tournament calendar lists the stops we track.
