Planet Hollywood’s poker room in Las Vegas reopened just before the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). But it won’t make it until this summer’s poker extravaganza.

The Caesars Entertainment-owned casino has decided to pull the plug on the 23-table card room at the end of the month. PokerNews has learned that despite the upcoming closure, jobs won’t be lost, as all employees will be transferred to Caesars Palace or Horseshoe. But the decision leaves Las Vegas with just 18 poker rooms in operation, significantly down from the pre-COVID era.

Planet Hollywood reopened last year for the first time since prior to COVID, but the location isn’t ideal for attracting foot traffic.
