How to register
From the lobby cage to the buy-in.
Online: Open the official registration page →
On-site hours: Cage and registration desks open at Horseshoe & Paris daily through the series — check the WSOP+ app for each event's posted start time.
Late reg: Most bracelet events permit late registration through the end of a published number of levels on Day 1; see the event details page in the WSOP+ app.
ID: Government-issued photo ID required. Players must complete ID verification in the WSOP+ app before play; returning 2025 players who haven't changed payment methods are already verified.
Payment: Buy-ins are accepted at the cashier in USD cash or via the WSOP+ app (linked debit/credit/bank). Casino markers and wire transfer are supported for higher buy-ins through Caesars cage.
Getting there & where to stay
Airport, transit, hotels.
Airport: Harry Reid International (LAS) — roughly 3 miles south of the Strip. Rideshare and taxi to Horseshoe/Paris is typically 10–20 minutes outside peak.
Transit: Horseshoe Las Vegas (3645 S Las Vegas Blvd) and the adjacent Paris Las Vegas are connected via the indoor walkway; the Las Vegas Monorail also stops at Paris/Bally's station.

From lobby to your seat
The walk-in walkthrough.
- 01Install the WSOP+ app and complete ID/payment verification before flying — it cuts the queue at the cage on day one.
- 02Enter via the Horseshoe or Paris poker entrance; signage routes you to the WSOP registration hall.
- 03Buy in via the WSOP+ app (push to your seat) or at the cage in USD cash, then collect your receipt.
- 04Check the in-app or hall screens for table and seat assignment; tables are split across Horseshoe and Paris event halls.
- 05Take your seat before late-reg closes — shot clocks are not used early-game, so play starts on time.
