It’s official: the Venetian Poker Room will host the very first PokerAtlas Tour Championship Title Event, a marquee year-end finale built to crown the season’s ultimate champion. Here’s everything you need to know — plus a deep dive into the Venetian’s newly reimagined poker room that’s turning heads across Vegas.

Buy-In & Prize Guarantee
Entry fee: $2,200 (No Limit Hold’em)
Guarantee: $1,000,000 prize pool

What’s more: Title Event seats are awarded at various PokerAtlas Tour stops throughout the season. At each participating stop, a $2,200 entry is carved out of the prize pool to send that stop’s Title Event winner to December.

This hybrid structure means some entrants will be “qualified” via earlier stops, while others may simply pay the buy-in directly.

Why This Matters for PokerAtlas & Venetian
A new season capstone: The Title Event is the culmination of the PokerAtlas Tour, giving players more incentive to attend stops not just for prize money but for a shot at the December showdown.

Star power & prestige: By anchoring its finale at the Venetian, PokerAtlas aligns itself with one of the most established and visible poker venues in Las Vegas.

Streaming visibility: The final table is being broadcast (via PokerGO), which elevates exposure for the event, the players, and the Venetian’s tournament brand.

Venetian’s All-New Poker Room: Features & Design
The Championship isn’t just convenient — it’s taking place in what many are already calling the best poker room on the Strip. Here’s a breakdown of what the remodeled Venetian Poker Room brings to the table:

Location & Scale
It’s now located on Level 2 of the Grand Canal Shoppes, between the Venetian and Palazzo floors.

The room spans 14,000 square feet and holds 50 tables, making it the largest poker room on the Las Vegas Strip by capacity.

Amenities & Player-First Design
Self-serve beverage stations (Coke fountain, coffee) are back.

USB & USB-C charging ports at every seat help players keep devices powered.

The chairs swivel, adjust in height, and are on caster wheels—designed for both comfort and mobility.

Dedicated restrooms and a room layout that reduces walking distance to key amenities.

Food service: players can order from on-site restaurants (Black Tap, Miznon, etc.), with table service available between 11 AM and 11 PM.

24/7 operation: the poker room largely remains open around the clock.

Comps & perks: In the older room, players earned $3 per hour in comps while playing cash games; the new setup may maintain or adjust that.

Streaming / Vlogging room: Venetian plans to integrate a streaming room to let content creators broadcast cash games or tournament final tables live from the room.

Cash Game Landscape & Promotions
The poker room offers a mix of stakes and formats; for example, the $1/$3 NLH cash game at Venetian carries a min $100, max $300 buy-in.

The room also hosts $15 Double Board Bomb Pot PLO games (between $300 – $1,500 buy-in) every Friday & Saturday at 6 PM.

Ongoing promotions include Mystery High Hand envelopes, Card of the Month bonuses, and hourly poker rewards.

Venetian also runs DeepStack Extravaganza series, and the Championship Title Event is a marquee event within that schedule.

📌 Tips & Notes for Prospective Attendees
Register early: With only two flight days and limited seats, it’s wise to register or qualify in advance. The last opportunity to qualify is at the upcoming PokerAtlas Tour stop at TCH Social Austin from Oct-28 through Nov 1.

Be aware of structure: The tournament will have standard deep-stack timing across flights and the restart day—expect longer days.

Plan accommodations / travel: Since it’s December in Vegas, book early. The Venetian is of course part of a large resort complex, which helps.

Bring streaming gear if desired: The streaming room is a feature; if you’re a content creator, this is a chance to showcase your play.

Play smart in cash / satellites leading up: Many satellite and feeder events will run during DeepStack series leading into the Title Event.

Final Thoughts
This PokerAtlas Championship Title Event marks a turning point. It’s not just another tournament on the calendar — it’s a season-end showdown with elite stakes, streamed exposure, and the backing of a major tour. Add to that venue — the freshly minted, player-friendly Venetian Poker Room — and you’ve got a blueprint for a new flagship event in the poker world.
