There is no better place to showcase the amazing student-athletes and coaches in the Mountain West than on center stage in the city of Las Vegas. Since the inception of the Mountain West in 1999-2000, Las Vegas has been the home to our men’s and women’s basketball championships. It has served as the host city for our basketball championships for 21 of the last 24 years, and a large part of that is due to our partnership with Las Vegas Events. While Las Vegas has exploded into one of the top sports destinations in the world, LVE has continued to support college basketball and the Mountain West.

We first established Las Vegas as the domestic training camp home for. the USA Basketball Men’s National Team in 2006. Las Vegas offers USA Basketball a perfect setting for our training and exhibition games and we couldn't be more pleased with our experiences there.

The NFR is a well-oiled machine that takes the harmonious cooperation of LVE and the PRCA. It's a one-of-a-kind experience for contestants that creates lifelong memories.
