The Best Places to Stay in Vegas for the 2025 WSOP

If you’re planning a trip to Vegas to play in the WSOP 2025, where you stay can have a big impact on your performance. Long days and late nights at the tables make comfort and convenience essential. Whether you want to stay close to the action or prefer a quieter spot to recharge, Las Vegas has plenty of options to suit.

In this guide, we’ll highlight the best places to stay — from official WSOP venues to home-like rentals — so you can focus on your game without worrying about accommodation.

Staying On-Site: Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas

If you’re playing a full WSOP schedule, staying on-site can make a huge difference. The official WSOP venues — Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas — are located side by side and serve as the heart of the series. Booking at either property means you can walk straight from your room to your seat without dealing with the Vegas heat, traffic, or long commutes – especially valuable if you’re planning to play in flagship events like the WSOP main event.

Staying right on-site also offers small but important conveniences. Between levels, it’s easy to pop upstairs to your room to grab a snack, change clothes, or avoid the packed bathroom lines that form during tournament breaks.

Paris

Both the Horseshoe and Paris are easily accessible to walk from the cardroom but if you prefer a more scenic route, then you can take the Monorail, which has a stop directly at Paris. The Paris Las Vegas selection of rooms are all 4-star, with free parking, air conditioning throughout and breakfast, with the added benefit of an outdoor pool, a hot tub and fitness center. Slightly more upscale with modern rooms and wider dining options. Rates usually start at $160 and can exceed $400 during peak times.

Horseshoe

The Horseshoe costs a little more, but with similar facilities including the swimming pool and fitness center, there are five restaurants within the property and your room also comes with a desk – handy for making sure you keep track of your money! Talking of currency, you’ll be looking at spending around $1,650 for a week’s stay at the Horseshoe around the time of the first week of this year’s Main Event. Of course, that doesn’t include you making it into the money and towards the $10m+ top prize… but if that happens, extending your stay at the Horseshoe could be a very nice problem to have!

Staying Nearby: The Flamingo and The LINQ

If staying directly on-site isn’t essential, The Flamingo and The LINQ are excellent nearby options. Both sit right on the Strip and are just a short walk from the WSOP venues, making them perfect for players seeking cheap hotels in the Las Vegas Strip area.

The Flamingo: Classic Comfort at Great Rates

The Flamingo is a longtime favorite for grinders on a budget. Located right across the street from the WSOP venues, it offers unbeatable convenience alongside recently refreshed rooms starting at under $100 per night. With easy Strip access and casual dining spots ideal for busy tournament schedules, it’s a smart and affordable choice for players.

The LINQ: Affordable Modern Style

Next door, The LINQ provides a modern alternative. Rooms typically range from $125 to $175 and offer contemporary comfort steps away from WSOP venues. Quick dining options and a lively atmosphere make The LINQ a solid pick for players who want relative affordability and convenience.

Hotels on the Strip

If you want to stay somewhere other than where you’ll be playing your poker, there is huge variety. You may have to commute a short distance or catch the Monorail to the cardroom you’re at that day, but you could also be right in the middle of the Las Vegas nightlife that makes your trip so memorable.

Caesars Palace

Of course, nightlife might be good or bad for your poker game, but thankfully, the sheer volume of different hotels to stay at could help you make sensible choices both in terms of budgeting and entertainment facilities. Caesars Palace is a popular destination, and you can book a one night stay for around $125. By comparison, however, The Venetian is a lot cheaper and could cost around half of what you’ll pay at ‘The Palace’.

The Bellagio and MGM Grand

Other venues such as The Bellagio (circa $325) or the MGM Grand ($275) will likely be something of a treat purchase, but looking around can be extremely beneficial and its worth checking right up until the last minute if you want to save money, shopping around for the very best price, as room costs vary wildly, especially during the World Series.

Staying Further Out: Downtown Las Vegas Hotels

For players who don’t mind being a little further from the WSOP action, Downtown Las Vegas hotels offer some of the cheapest rates in the city — along with a more relaxed vibe. Staying downtown can provide a welcome break from the crowds and chaos, giving players a quieter place to unwind after long tournament days. However, travel logistics should be carefully considered if you plan to play multiple events on a tight schedule.

Two of the most poker-friendly cheap Las Vegas hotels downtown are Four Queens and The Plaza. Both offer excellent value, with rates usually starting near $70 per night — often considerably cheaper than Strip hotels during WSOP season. Many Downtown Las Vegas hotels offer reduced or no resort fees — another key reason they’re popular with poker players.

• Four Queens: Offers a classic Vegas feel with no resort fees, making it one of the best bang-for-your-buck choices.
• The Plaza: Features a new outdoor bar and rooftop dining, providing a relaxed and social space to recharge.

Alternative Option: Airbnb and Vrbo for Longer Stays

Hotels aren’t the only choice. Many WSOP players opt for Airbnb or Vrbo rentals, especially for extended stays. Vacation rentals offer extra space, full kitchens, and more privacy — all valuable benefits during a long tournament schedule.

Many players even form groups to split costs, making this one of the cheapest Las Vegas hotel alternatives. The extra space and quieter environment can make all the difference during a grueling WSOP grind.

Condos and homes are available throughout Las Vegas, from Strip-adjacent units to affordable homes in Paradise and Spring Valley. However, nearby properties often get booked quickly once WSOP dates are announced, so it’s wise to secure your rental early.

Final Thoughts

Whether you stay at the official WSOP venues, choose a cheap Las Vegas hotel on the Strip, unwind at a Downtown Las Vegas hotel, or book a private rental through Airbnb or Vrbo, there’s no shortage of options to suit every WSOP player. The right choice can help you save your bankroll, maximize comfort, and stay sharp as you chase gold bracelets this summer.
