Horseshoe Las Vegas (formerly Bally’s) is a destination that leans heavily into its gambling roots. While the original Horseshoe downtown was the birthplace of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) , this iconic location on the Strip has officially taken over that legacy. It is a no-nonsense gambler’s room that preserves an “old school” soul within a modern resort, making it a top choice for players who prioritize the action over flashy distractions.

Why Horseshoe Las Vegas?

  • The Hall of Fame Poker Room: A clean, 18-table space located right on the casino floor, featuring walls lined with plaques and photos honoring the legends of the game.
  • Tournament Capital: Famous for having one of the busiest daily schedules on the Strip, often running five to six poker tournaments every single day.
  • WSOP Legacy: As the primary host of the summer series, the action here expands into massive convention arenas, making it the literal center of the poker universe for two months a year.

The Horseshoe Poker Experience

The poker area at Horseshoe provides an “action-heavy” floor that caters to serious grinders and tourists alike. It is a reliable 24/7 destination for Texas Hold’em, with cash games typically revolving around $1/$3 and $2/$3 stakes. Because the room is situated near the Nosh Deli and the main entrance, there is a constant flow of players, keeping waitlists moving and games lively.

What truly sets the Horseshoe apart is its integration with Paris Las Vegas . In 2026, for the fifth consecutive year, the two properties have co-hosted the World Series of Poker. While the Horseshoe handles the broadcast and high-pressure final tables, the physical footprint of the series extends through a shared walkway, allowing players to move seamlessly between the two venues. This synergy has solidified the Horseshoe’s reputation as the premier destination for live poker in Las Vegas.

Venue Logistics

📍 Location: 3645 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV. The Hall of Fame Poker Room is located near the front of the casino floor, adjacent to the Nosh Deli.

🏨 Accommodations: The resort features over 2,800 rooms and recently underwent a multi-million dollar transformation to reflect the classic “Horseshoe” sophistication.

📝 Entry & Variety: Beyond live poker, the property offers a massive array of traditional table games and over 700 slots, ensuring a complete gambling experience for all guests.
