About me:
Home of the UNLV Runnin' Rebels, the Thomas & Mack Center also brings a variety of other sporting events to Las Vegas. The facility hosts championship boxing matches, the National Finals Rodeo, NBA exhibition games, Mountain West Basketball Tournaments, Professional Bull Riders World Finals, Rolex FEI World Cup Championships, and the NBA Vegas Summer League.
The arena opened its doors in 1983. Over the past 25 years, the Thomas & Mack Center has become one of the top-grossing arenas in the country. Most recently, the Thomas & Mack Center was ranked as the fifth Top Grossing Venue in the world in the 2007 VenuesToday year-end report. The arena consistently remains in the top ten. This would not be possible without the support of the Las Vegas community and the creative events that retain locals’ loyalty.
“The Thomas and Mack Center has been a community treasure for the past 25 years,” said Daren Libonati, executive director of the Thomas & Mack Center. “It has represented not only UNLV, but the Las Vegas hotel industry, and community."
“Every year we work hard to create events that continue to draw people from all over the country, while at the same time maintaining a strong relationship with our local customers," said Libonati.
The venue contributes significantly to the overall economic impact of Southern Nevada by providing jobs, generating sales tax and providing a facility for tourists and locals alike. Industry related trade publications regularly list the Thomas & Mack Center as one of the top venues in the country.
