The ever-popular Thomas & Mack Center is located at the University of Nevada and is home to the university’s Runnin’ Rebels basketball team, which competes in the Mountain West Conference. The multipurpose arena has assumed many roles over the years and was once home to three Las Vegas Arena Football teams.

The venue has also set the stage for regular season NBA games and the 2007 NBA All-Star Game, along with international basketball matches, rodeo competitions and live music. Time your visit for one of the college basketball games or a live music concert, with such legendary artists as Frank Sinatra, Sir Elton John and Pearl Jam having already graced its stage.

You’ll find a range of food and beverage services at the Thomas & Mack Center, including eight full-service bars and customisable menus for private events. The sporting arena is easily combined with a visit to the Marjorie Barrick Museum or Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery.

Getting there

The Thomas & Mack Center is about 10 minutes’ drive from the centre of Las Vegas, with numerous parking garages available on the university campus. Multiple bus routes stop at the university campus and McCarran International Airport is five minutes away.
