Guests must present a valid loyalty card from an eligible casino loyalty program. Upgraded tier status grants access to Fontainebleau Rewards benefits through December 2025.

After Fontainebleau opened in December 2023, the new Strip casino launched a tier-matching program to welcome new customers. The initial tier-matching promotion was extended until September 2024 after an “overwhelmingly positive response.”

World Series of Poker

Caesars Entertainment’s 2025 World Series of Poker events will kick off May 27 with the WSOP Main Event conclusion scheduled July 2-16 at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.

The 2024 tournament drew 10,112 players competing for poker’s top honor, with Jonathon Tamayo claiming the $10 million winner’s prize.

The company on Monday outlined some of the top events for the 2025 season, the 56th in the series. The full schedule is expected to be unveiled later.

Players qualify for the WSOP Main Event via live and online satellite tournaments that occur worldwide. Satellite tournament winners secure an invitation to the Main Event.

“We had hoped to continue to break records last year, and we did — the WSOP Main Event was bigger than ever,” said Ty Stewart, CEO of WSOP. “In 2025, the WSOP schedule is better again, with something for everyone who loves the game. There’s nothing like summer in Las Vegas and we’re ready to welcome players to the biggest and best WSOP of all time.”

Caesars offers discounted hotel rates for participants in the Main Event.
