The Wynn Signature Series returns to Las Vegas on August 17, giving tournament players another three weeks of action at Wynn Las Vegas following a busy summer poker season.
Running through September 7, 2026, the series features No-Limit Hold'em events at several price points alongside Pot-Limit Omaha, HORSE, Omaha 8, Big O, TORSE, Seniors tournaments and nightly turbo events. Based on the guarantees listed on Wynn Poker's official schedule, the series offers more than $1.7 million in guaranteed cash prize pools.
Wynn Signature Series Runs August 17 Through September 7
The 22-day series begins Monday, August 17 with the opening flight of a $400 No-Limit Hold'em tournament carrying a $100,000 guarantee. A $200 NLH Turbo with a $10,000 guarantee follows that evening.
That opening structure establishes a pattern players will see throughout the series: affordable daily tournaments combined with larger multi-flight events offering six-figure guarantees.
The schedule moves quickly into one of its first major tournaments on August 20, when a $600 No-Limit Hold'em event begins with a $250,000 guarantee. Multiple starting flights run through August 22 before surviving players return for Day 2 on August 23.
Another $600 multi-flight NLH event begins August 27, this time with a $300,000 guarantee. Five starting flights are scheduled before Day 2 on August 30.
$1,100 NLH Event Headlines the Final Weekend
The largest guarantee on the schedule belongs to the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em event beginning September 3.
The tournament carries a $400,000 guarantee and offers three opening flights on September 3, 4 and 5. Each flight begins at 11 a.m. with a 40,000-chip starting stack and 40-minute levels.
Surviving players return for Day 2 at noon on September 6.
Wynn is also offering $200 milestone satellites into the tournament on September 3 and September 4, with 10 seats guaranteed in each satellite.
For players looking to build an entire Las Vegas trip around one tournament, the $1,100 event gives the closing weekend of the Signature Series a clear centerpiece.
Mixed Games and PLO Add Variety to the Schedule
No-Limit Hold'em accounts for much of the schedule, but the Signature Series is not limited to one format.
The opening week includes $400 versions of Limit Omaha 8, HORSE, TORSE and Big O. A $400 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament follows on August 28, while a $600 5-Card PLO event is scheduled for August 30.
The mixed-game buy-ins increase during the final week. Players can find a $600 Limit Omaha 8 event on September 1, followed by $600 HORSE on September 2, $600 TORSE on September 3 and $600 Big O on September 4.
A $600 traditional PLO event is also scheduled for September 6.
The variety gives players who spent much of the summer grinding Hold'em an opportunity to switch formats without leaving Wynn.
Seniors Events Return on Two Sundays
Players age 50 and older have two dedicated tournaments to choose from during the series.
The first $400 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em tournament takes place August 23, followed by a second on August 30. Each carries a $30,000 guarantee and begins at noon with 30,000 starting chips and 30-minute levels.
Wynn's official tournament conditions require all participants in the series to be at least 21 years old, with the Seniors events carrying the additional 50-plus eligibility requirement.
Nightly $200 Turbos Offer Lower-Buy-In Options
Players who prefer shorter tournaments or lower buy-ins will see frequent $200 NLH Turbos throughout the schedule.
Most begin at 6 p.m. and carry $10,000 guarantees. The tournaments generally start players with 25,000 chips and use 20-minute levels.
Those events help make the Signature Series accessible beyond the larger multi-flight tournaments. Players can potentially enter a daytime event, return for an evening turbo or build a schedule around individual tournaments rather than committing to several days of play.
Wynn Continues a Packed 2026 Poker Calendar
The August Signature Series arrives little more than a month after the conclusion of the 2026 Wynn Summer Classic, which ran from May 20 through July 13.
Wynn Poker has maintained an active tournament calendar throughout 2026, including earlier Signature Series festivals and Wynn Millions before the summer schedule.
The August edition now fills the late-summer window before Las Vegas poker moves deeper into the fall tournament calendar.
For players considering the series, the complete event listing, structures and any schedule updates are available through Wynn Poker's official Signature Series schedule.
Tournament schedules and structures can change, so players planning to travel should confirm current information directly with Wynn Poker before registering or making travel arrangements.
