Harrah's New Orleans Poker Room Harrah's New Orleans Tournaments
In addition to the new WSOP Poker Room, Harrah's New Orleans opened a brand-new Caesars Sportsbook inside the resort and invited NFL Hall of Famer and former New Orleans Saint Rickey Jackson to the opening. 'The World Series of Poker brand represents the ultimate poker experience and it's only fitting we open a poker room that matches its legacy,' Harrah's New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad said when the poker room opened. The new poker room has something for everyone as it offers both cash games and tournaments at various stakes. In summer 2022, the Caesars Entertainment-owned property announced the opening of a brand-new 5,000-square-foot World Series of Poker Room equipped with 20 poker tables. In August 2021, Harrah's New Orleans became the first casino to require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter. Harrah's New Orleans in Louisiana has long been a frequent World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) stop and a prime location for those in the South looking for poker action.
