Lady Summer Camp Is Here — And The Real Poker Girls Media Is Leading the Charge
Welcome to Lady Summer Camp 2025.
What began as a one-week celebration has grown into a two-week powerhouse of competition, camaraderie, and coverage—honoring the strength, strategy, and sisterhood of women in poker. From $180 satellites to a $100,000 guaranteed High Roller, this year’s schedule is packed—and The Real Poker Girls Media is right at the center of it all.
This is the summer where women take the lead.
The Heart Behind the Festival
At the core of this historic series Hall Of Famer Lupes Soto—a true trailblazer, founder of Ladies International Poker Series (LIPS_Tour), the Women’s Poker Association, and co-host of The Real Poker Girls of Las Vegas podcast, with over two decades of leadership expanding access and community for women in poker. Her commitment has turned ideas into infrastructure, casual games into televised finals, and quiet players into champions.
Standing beside her in support is Tommy LaRosa, Director of Poker at The Venetian, and a longtime champion of women in the game. Under his leadership, the Venetian has become home to some of the most anticipated women’s events in the world. His collaboration with women-led organizations has helped create real pathways for women to rise at every level of the game.
Together with Women Poker News, this collaboration delivers more than just chip counts—it delivers the real stories behind the stacks, the trophies, and the grind it took to get there. This is media made by women, for women, and about women who play to win.
