The World Series of Poker is the biggest and most famous poker event in the world. Started at the Horseshoe in 1970 by Benny Binion, it is now held annually at the Rio in Las Vegas. In 2012, the tournament series attracted nearly 75,000 poker players and paid out over $222 million in prize money. They're spreading a record number of tables this year and expect to beat all of last year's numbers.
If you've never been to Vegas during the WSOP, you should definitely make the trip. It's a pilgimage that all poker players must make at least once in their life. If the buyins at the Series are too high, there are plenty of other tournaments running concurrently that you can play in while you're there. Just make sure to take at least one cab ride out to the Rio to watch the big game.
