Grandissimo: The $100K Contest That’s Basically the NFL’s Hunger Games
If Circa Survivor is a high-stakes grind and Circa Million is a mental marathon, Grandissimo is the “what if we made Survivor… but for ballers only?” version.
I’m Lucy from WCP (Winners Circle Proxy), and if you’re here, you probably either (a) love a challenge, (b) you’re a big baller,, or (c) accidentally clicked thinking this was a cocktail recipe. Whatever brought you here, here’s the play-by-play.
Step 1: The Buy-In — Not for the Faint of Wallet
- Entry Fee: $100,000
- Max Entries: 2 per person
- Deadline: Saturday, September 6, 2025, at 2PM PT
- Registration Opens: May 23, 2025
Step 2: How It Works — The Survivor Format on Steroids
- One NFL pick a week.
- Straight-up winner, no spreads, no excuses.
- No repeats. Once you burn a team, they’re gone.
- 20 picks total because Thanksgiving/Black Friday and Christmas get their own “weeks.”
- Miss a deadline or tie? Congratulations, you’re out.
Step 3: The Prize Pool — Winner Takes It All
- Guaranteed $1.5 million to the last entry standing.
- If multiple players survive the full season, the prize is split.
- No quarterly bonuses, no booby prize. Just glory (and a giant check).
Step 4: The Perks — Because $100K Should Come with a Little Luxury
Circa isn’t just taking your buy-in and giving you a seat at the table. Every entrant gets:
- 3-night stay in a Founder’s Suite at Circa Resort & Casino
- Roundtrip JSX flight
- Limo transfers to and from the airport
- Dinner at Andiamo Steakhouse & Barry’s Downtown Prime
- Legacy Club whiskey tasting
- A signature GFore jacket you can casually wear while saying “Oh this? Just from my $100K NFL contest”
- A year-long VSiN subscription so you can deep dive into the stats like a pro
Step 5: How to Enter with WCP
- Book your Vegas trip before the deadline.
- Sign up in person at a Circa Sportsbook location in Nevada (Nevada Gaming Commission rules).
- Designate WCP as your proxy so we can submit your weekly picks while you’re back home living your life.
WCP Insider Tips
- Plan ahead — those cushy matchups don’t last forever.
- Mind the holiday weeks: Thanksgiving and Christmas are where most players implode.
- Don’t get cute too early: save your chaos picks for when you actually need them.
- Deadlines are not suggestions — miss one and you’re done.
The Bottom Line
Grandissimo is part flex, part strategy, part “let’s see who blinks first.” If you’ve got the bankroll, the guts, and the game plan, this is as big as it gets in the NFL contest world.
Book your Vegas trip. Sign up. Let WCP run point on your picks. Then survive every week like your $100K depends on it, because it does.
