The infamous PURE nightclub at Caesars Palace - captain of the monosyllabic Vegas club scene and home to some of the bustiest and most spectacularly orange women you've ever seen - has hosted its fair share of hip and celebrity-packed events.

Phil Hellmuth's Fantasy Camp Opening Party. The Penthouse Swimwear Party. Uhh, Ryan Cabrera's 25th birthday. Play route 66 poker.

And now, another sure to be star-studded and likely graced by the Hall of Fame Hellmuthian presence: the Official Launch Party of the World Series of Poker Europe presented by Betfair.com, set for Monday, July 16 at 9 p.m.

Also critically on the agenda at Caesars Palace Monday: satellites and pre-registration for the inaugural WSOP Europe poker tournament, set for Aug. 6-16 in London, England.

Single-table satellites will run at various times throughout the day, with $2,200 buy-ins and seats to the £10,000, 750-player Main Event being awarded, along with a free ticket to the launch party at PURE. Women poker players.

Pre-registrations for the WSOPE will also be accepted at the main cage in Caesars Palace.

Currently, pre-registration is open outside the WSOP at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and at www.worldseriesofpoker.com. Stay tuned to our poker blog for more updates.

Both 2006 WSOP Main Event winner Jamie Gold and Hellmuth have already committed to play in London, the first-time ever a WSOP bracelet will be awarded outside of the U.S.
