Happy Holidays. It’s the season for joy and the season to promote sports events. Let’s take a look at the Las Vegas scene on Dec. 12.
With the Raiders finding new creative ways to lose heartbreaking games and the Golden Knights coping with injuries after a red-hot start, the UNLV basketball team has roared out to a 10-0 record and has a four-ticket $52 deal for its next game on Saturday against the San Francisco Dons at T-Mobile Arena.
Plus, throw in chicken fingers for each of the four tickets and you have what looks like a rather reasonable deal.
Plus, the San Francisco Dons have a fun mascot.
The Las Vegas Aces’ high-scoring guard, Kelsey Plum, has been asserting herself as a strong player on the court an a strong court off it.
Plum recently spoke about pay equity for WNBA players and is playing a big role in the WNBPA Executive Committee.
Well, the Jake Paul vs Dana White feud is always amusing.
Paul is like a puppy dog nipping at White’s heels and here’s the latest bite by Paul via this Twitter post:
Las Vegas’ newest pro team, the indoor lacrosse Desert Dogs, will be playing their inaugural home game on Friday at Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay.
The Desert Dogs will have a performance at halftime by Cirque de Soleil KA, with owners Wayne Gretzky, Joe Tsai, Steve Nash and Dustin Johnson all on hand for the first home game. The Dogs lost their first ever game last week in Texas.
Three USA Hockey players – Cayla Barnes, Hannah Bilka and Rory Guilday – attended Sunday’s Golden Knights vs Bruins game as the USA women prepare to play the Canada women’s national team 7 PM Thursday at City National Arena in Henderson’s Green Valley area.
The Golden Knights have bought tickets for all the girls who play in the team’s girls youth hockey programs, from the NHL Learn to Play program through the travel Vegas Jr. Golden Knights teams.
This is another way Bill Foley’s Golden Knights are trying to grow ice hockey in the desert.
Back in the day Amgen was the title sponsor of America’s biggest multi-stage road race — the Tour of California.
The Tour, which was owned by the Los Angeles-based Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), no longer exists. AEG partnered with MGM Resorts International to build T-Mobile Arena.
But Amgen is around is made this multi-billion-dollar offer.
