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.

Eleven years ago the WCC was the first conference tournament to move to Las Vegas and since that time LVE has been a consistent partner and a true member of the WCC family. LVE's support and partnership have allowed the WCC to showcase our national caliber student-athletes and coaches and assisted in providing a global stage on which we've watched WCC student-athletes transform themselves into champions. Our sellout crowds have enjoyed returning to Las Vegas year after year to support their teams and the LVE team has been integral in helping us provide them the excellent experience they have come to expect.

Seventeen years ago, Pat and Las Vegas Events took a chance on a new basketball event in Las Vegas, designed to bring hoop fans from all over the world to this great city during a slower time on the calendar. Since then, the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League has blossomed and become a star studded attraction consumed on tv and digital channels all over the world and a must attend event for all of those in the basketball business. Together, we helped turn a slow time into an economic lightning bolt for the Vegas economy. We’re thankful for the continued support from all of our partners and Las Vegas Events has been there from the beginning.
