Thanks to some shake, rattle and roll, the Las Vegas Aces will play a regular season game at T-Mobile Arena for the first time in their two seasons on the Strip.
It wasn’t planned that way, though. The suspended “earthquake” game between the Aces and the Washington Mystics at Mandalay Bay Events Center from July 5 will resume at 7 p.m. Aug. 5 at the start of the third quarter at T-Mobile Arena, about a mile down the Strip from the Aces’ usual home court. MGM Resorts International owns the Mandalay Bay Events Center and is a co-owner of T-Mobile Arena.
The 2019 EVO World Finals are at Mandalay Bay Events Center on Aug. 4 and loud out bleeds into Aug. 5, so there was not time to flip the venue into a basketball arena for Monday’s Aces-Mystics game.
Next Monday’s game will resume at T-Mobile Arena with the Mystics leading 51-36 — the halftime score of the game that was suspended July 5 for precautionary reasons after an earthquake centered in the California desert affected Las Vegas. The earthquake also prompted the NBA Summer League to stop its Zion Williamson debut game at Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus.
The Aces said fans with a ticket from the July 5 game will automatically receive a ticket to the rescheduled game on August 5.
Fans who originally received their tickets via Flash Seats or the AXS mobile app, will automatically have a ticket uploaded to their account. Box office purchasers and anyone who received a printed ticket may pick up their ticket from the T-Mobile Arena Box Office Will Call on the day of event. For additional information on ticketing please contact 702-692-ACES.
