Frequently Asked Questions
Note: Don't forget that Daylight Savings Time ends during the WLPC!
The WLPC runs from Saturday, November 3rd until Thursday, November 8th. Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 4th at 2am Vegas time. That means when the clock strikes 2am, it will actually be 1am. Make sure you factor this into your plans!
When will Registration be open?
Registration will be open starting at 10am on Saturday. Registration will open between 9am and 10am each day thereafter, and run to around 4-5pm.
Will I need a Players Card to play in tournaments at The Orleans?
Yes, and you can get your 'B-Connected' Players Card after going through Registration. You will be directed where to go to get your card.
Does purchasing an Access Pass include my buy-ins for the cash tournaments?
No. Purchasing an Access Pass gives you access to the cash tournaments during the series. Tournament buy-ins are separate and must be paid by the player to enter a tournament.
What is the Moonshiner's Upgrade?
The Mooonshiner's Upgrade for $15 allows you to enjoy free drinks while playing in a WLPC event in the Ballroom at The Orleans. It is only valid with an Access Pass, however (it is NOT a standalone item).
Can I purchase the Moonshiner's Upgrade before the event? During the event?
Yes to both! Go to our Online Store (coming soon) to purchase a Moonshiner's Upgrade before the WLPC, or you can buy them on-site at WLPC Registration.
Is the World League Poker Championships a single event or a tournament series?
BOTH! The WLPC is a tournament series spanning five days with over a dozen cash events and awesome parties throughout. The World League Poker Championships is also a tournament, where players from participating leagues all around the world compete for the $5,000 1st place prize and the title of World Champion.
Why are there resort fees?
Resort fees have become commonplace at almost every property of note. We've been able to hold them off in the past, but unfortunately, these fees will be charged moving forward. However, it's still worthwhile to stay on site - our special rates are hard to beat, and you simply can't beat the convenience (saves money, time, and energy!) of staying on property. Plus, resort fees at The Orleans include room Wi-Fi, access to the Fitness Center, in-room coffee, and more.
Will there be tickets to the Party for sale during the WLPC?
Yes! Party tickets will be available for sale on site for $30. But we highly recommend purchasing a Party & Poker Access Pass (coming soon) to save you from having to buy when you arrive.
