Raymond van Barneveld, who won last year's tournament, takes on Michael Rosenauer in his first round game, while Phil Taylor opens against Kevin McDine.
Number five seed Terry Jenkins meets Paul Lim in a repeat of their meeting at the PartyPoker.net PDC US Open last month, which Lim won 3-2 over the same format.
American David Fatum, a semi-finalist in the PDC US Open, kicks off his challenge in Las Vegas against Mick McGowan.
Australia's Russell Stewart meets Michael van Gerwen in the preliminary round, while fellow DPA star Paul Nicholson could take on Tony Eccles - whom he knows from his time in the north-east of England before relocating Down Under.
