Every summer Las Vegas plays host to the NBA Summer League. The preseason event is a tournament between rookies entering the league and top developmental prospects. The games are broadcast on national television as it has become one of the best spectator events of the Summer.

With the opening of T-Mobile Arena in 2016, Las Vegas has begun hosting college basketball tournaments too. Eventually, the city would love to have its own NBA team. Until then, the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA will have to do. As you’re about to see, the team will play its inaugural season in Vegas in 2018!
