Poker enthusiasts have the opportunity to win an all-expenses-paid trip to the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) in Las Vegas this November, as PokerStars announces a series of chances for players. After a 10-year absence, the NAPT is returning due to the positive impact of changes in gambling laws in the U.S.

Due to the disputed choice made by the national administration to ban online poker in 2011, the NAPT abruptly ended after a mere two years. However, with states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan legalizing online poker within their borders, the game is rapidly catching up and undoing the effects of what was dubbed Poker Black Friday 12 years ago.
The NAPT is scheduled to take place from November 4-12, leading up to the Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 19. Poker enthusiasts of all levels have a chance to earn a spot in the NAPT Las Vegas High Roller tournament through current promotions offered by PokerStars.
All Players Welcome at Events
The NAPT will take place at Resorts World Las Vegas and will offer a daily dose of nonstop excitement through 32 events. Players can enter with a buy-in of $250, and top contenders are expected to participate.
| Event | Date | Buy-In |
|---|---|---|
| NAPT Main Event | November 6–11 | $1,650 |
| NAPT NLH Super High Roller | November 5-6 | $10,300 |
| NAPT NLH Cup | November 9-12 | $550 |
| NAPT NLH High Roller | November 10-12 | $5,300 |

PokerStars is providing a boost to the NAPT by offering exclusive “Vegas Gold Passes” before the event. These passes, valued at $20K, are available to players in Italy, Spain, France, and legal online gaming markets in the U.S.
The bundle consists of a ticket to the Las Vegas High Roller, valued at $5,300. It also comes with a two-person three-day admission to the Oracle Red Bull Racing Fan Experience from November 16-18. This event will feature Red Bull’s Formula 1 team, in collaboration with PokerStars.
In addition, there is a hotel stay for two people for a duration of 10 days, along with $3,653 to assist with travel costs. This offer is valid for the dates of November 9-19.
Going for the Gold
Players on PokerStars using the “.com” website and in Italy have the opportunity to join the Power Path program and potentially win a Gold Pass. Participation in real money games is required, but entry into the program is free. By collecting step tickets, players can earn a Gold Pass that grants them access to a fully-paid trip or an online tournament.
Beginning on Monday and lasting until October 26, PokerStars is elevating the Gold Pass program. A total of 10 Vegas Gold Passes will be up for grabs, including the NAPT package, for .com players, while two will be reserved for players from Italy.
Players in Spain got a head start. PokerStars rolled out its Vegas Gold Pass Grind in the country on September 25, and will keep it going until October 25. It offers three Vegas Gold Passes through a “Rake Race,” which will see the top three finalists with the highest rake at the end of the contest each win one of the packages.
The countries of France, Ontario, and the United States have legalized online poker and will now be offering Vegas Gold Passes through various freeroll tournaments. To be eligible to receive and use these passes in Las Vegas, players must be at least 18 years old.
