partypoker is bringing the MILLIONS brand to the ARIA Hotel & Casino this summer.

The partypoker MILLIONS is coming to Las Vegas this summer.

Running in the days leading up to the World Series of Poker Main Event, the partypoker MILLIONS Las Vegas Special Edition has a $10,300 buy-in, a $5 million guarantee and is being held at the ARIA Hotel & Casino.

MILLIONS Las Vegas begins June 28 with the final table set for July 3, the same day that the WSOP Main Event begins. Las Vegas is just the latest city to be added to the MILLIONS list of conquests. Previous events have been held in Montreal, Rozvadov, the Bahamas, London, and Rio de Janeiro, but this is the first time they’ve ventured onto American turf.

“The partnership with ARIA in Vegas is a significant step marking the first time partypoker LIVE has hosted a tournament in the United States,” said John Duthie, President of partypoker LIVE. “The poker team at ARIA is well known for being genuinely passionate about the game. We believe they see things the same way we do and that it’s not all business, it is about listening to players and growing the game.”

The MILLIONS Las Vegas schedule includes two starting flights, with players able to enter once each day and players will be able to buy-in directly on Day 2 until the completion of the second level of play. The ARIA is also hosting the WPT500 from June 21-27.

“We’re looking forward to MILLIONS making its debut this summer at the resort. Our team is excited to add an event of this magnitude to our extensive summer schedule,” said Sean McCormack, ARIA Director of Poker Operations.

This isn’t the first time that a rival poker festival has put a high profile event on the Las Vegas summer schedule. From 2007 – 2010, the Bellagio Cup was a World Poker Tour event and had a buy-in between $10,300 and $15,400.
