GARY ANDERSON will begin his defence of the Dafabet US Darts Masters title against Elliot Milk on Thursday, while Michael van Gerwen will face Darin Young in their opener at the Mandalay Bay.
The PDC World Series of Darts event begins on Thursday (1200 local time, 2000 BST) with the first round as eight top PDC stars face the eight North American Qualifiers.
Scottish ace Anderson had taken glory in last year's event, defeating Rob Cross in the final, and will play South Dakota's Milk in round one.
Cross, the world number two, has drawn American qualifier Leonard Gates, while World Champion Van Gerwen - the 2017 US Darts Masters winner - will play top US star Darin Young.
Number three seed Daryl Gurney plays Guam-born Daniel Baggish, while World Championship finalist Michael Smith drew Canada's Jim Long, who competed in the World Cup of Darts recently.
World Series debutant Nathan Aspinall, the 2019 UK Open champion, has drawn Canada's Shawn Brenneman, while Grand Slam of Darts champion Gerwyn Price plays former UK Open finalist Gary Mawson.
The first round's other tie sees reigning Melbourne Darts Masters champion Peter Wright play Canada's Jeff Smith.
Smith will later defend his Dafabet North American Championship in Thursday's evening session, where he has drawn Mawson in round one.
Young will face Long, Gates drew Brenneman and Baggish opens the event against Milk, with the event playing down to a winner on Thursday at Mandalay Bay.
The winner of the North American Championship will receive a $10,000 top prize alongside a place in the 2019/2020 William Hill World Darts Championship.
The Dafabet US Darts Masters will enjoy worldwide TV coverage, including through DAZN in the USA, Canada and Brazil as well as ITV4 in the UK.
