If you’re still nursing those post-Paris Olympics blues, don’t fret—Las Vegas has got your sports fix covered. This fall, Sin City is doubling down on its claim as the sports and entertainment capital of the world, and honestly, it's not hard to see why. With everything from the Stanley Cup Champions Vegas Golden Knights and the Las Vegas Raiders to Formula 1 racing down the iconic Strip, Vegas is pulling out all the stops. And that’s just the beginning.
Las Vegas is now home to a professional team for nearly every major sport—except for the NBA, but don’t worry, we’ve got something for basketball fans too. From minor league baseball with the Las Vegas Aviators to Major League Soccer with the Las Vegas Lights FC, there’s no shortage of action. And let’s not forget the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, who are pretty much the queens of the court with back-to-back championships. Whether you’re into football, hockey, or even pickleball (yes, that’s a thing now), Las Vegas has you covered.
But it’s not just about the home teams. Vegas is also hosting some of the biggest events in sports. Think UFC 306 at the newly unveiled Sphere, the Supermotocross World Championship at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and the Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix right on the Strip. If high-speed action isn’t your thing, maybe the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin or the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center will get your heart racing.
And for those who need a break from all the sports (it’s okay, we won’t judge), there’s plenty more to do. The Las Vegas Monorail makes it easy to hop from one event to the next, with stops all along the Strip. Plus, with the new “Show Your Ticket & Save” program, you can score discounts on shows, attractions, restaurants, and more just by flashing your Monorail ticket. It’s like the VIP experience, but without the VIP price tag.
So next time you’re planning a trip to Las Vegas, remember: it’s not just about the casinos and shows anymore. Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan or just looking to experience the electric atmosphere, Vegas is the place to be. And if you need a little help sorting through all the options, we at Park and Preston Travel have got you covered. From scoring the best seats to finding the perfect hotel, we’ll make sure your Vegas trip is one for the books.
