The Las Vegas sports calendar has broken nicely for the NBA Summer League, that Woodstock of pro hoops that takes over Thomas & Mack Center for nearly two weeks every summer in Las Vegas.
The NFL Raiders spring training starts July 18.
The next WNBA Aces’ next home game is July 19.
And the Triple A Aviators don’t return to their Summerlin ballyard until July 12.
So, the Las Vegas NBA Summer League — where every NBA team is in town with its roster of young players — will literally be the only game in town for a healthy chunk of its July 7-17 schedule.
Single day tickets for general admission are $40 each giving you access to all games for that particular day.
Games are also being played in Cox Pavilion.
One change from past years is that MGM Resorts is no longer the event’s title sponsor.
