The tournament boasts a $10,000 buy-in with a massive $10 million guarantee and is the staple event of the series.

"We’re hopeful that the super-sized guarantee of $10 million emphasizes our goal of making the Wynn Millions a staple event for years to come, adding to our already world-class tournament schedule."
The Wynn Millions is a six-day No-Limit Hold’em event starting today and will play through Saturday, July 3, 2021. Anyone over the age of 21 may register for the tournament at the Wynn Las Vegas Poker Room located in Encore.
