The 39th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) will be held at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It’s going to be running from May 30 through July 17, 2008. They haven’t released the exact schedule of events for the WSOP but they’re working on it. “The team is still hard at work on the schedule of events for next year,” said Jeffrey Pollack, WSOP Commissioner, “but we’ve received so many requests for the dates that we decided to announce them now.”

May 26th is the expected date that the “WSOP tournament room” at the Rio - which will most likely be the Amazon Room - will open for two special events. “This ’soft opening’ will give players a chance to register early and avoid the lines we had last year during opening weekend – our busiest time,” says Geno Iafrate, Rio hotel vice president and assistant general manager.
