This December, Las Vegas will once again host a week of poker tournaments geared toward female players. The Ladies International Poker Series (LIPS) and Women in Poker organization have announced seven days of action running from Dec. 9-15.

This marks the third year for the Women in Poker Winter Festival and the events correspond with the World Poker Tour World Championship, which once again features a $1,100 Ladies Championship. The Wynn event comes with a $250,000 guarantee and runs Dec. 14-15.

In 2023, the tournament brought in 457 entries for a $443,290 prize pool. Las Vegas-based player Lisa Costello came out on top for $85,297.

Female players looking for women-only events have even more to look forward to, including a mystery bounty tournament, meet-up cash game, mixed-game events, and more.
