What is the Wynn Classic?
Few venues can pull off their own self-branded tournament series quite like The Wynn. The one-time festival has expanded into a series of “Wynn Classic” events held throughout the year, each offering different variants, buy-ins, etc.
When is the Wynn Classic?
There are several Wynn Classic events throughout the year. They’ve traditionally done three a year – The Wynn Spring Classic (March), The Wynn Summer Classic (May-July), and The Wynn Fall Classic (September-October) – but in 2019 added a fourth with The Wynn Winter Classic (December).

It was just a single festival each year through 2010, and then in 2011, the Wynn Summer Classic was added. The year after that, the Wynn Fall Classic was added and it became a three-times-a-year series until 2019, which is when the Wynn Winter Classic was added to the schedule.
