Boxing in Las Vegas

[vegasrocks]

I know when I think about Las Vegas I tend to think about gambling but Las Vegas is much more than just casino games. Boxing, among other sports, is a big part of what Las Vegas is today. Lots of people plan their vacations around the boxing events that they really want to be there to see.

Boxing isn't new to Vegas either. Back in the day huge crowds would show up to watch famous boxers in the ring including George Foreman and Mike Tyson. That still applies today. And if you get lucky enough to go to one of the big events, don't be suprised if you are rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous because you are sure to find lots of them in the crowds.

Some of the very biggest events usually take place at the MGM Grand Arena. They have been hosting some of the biggest contests for years.

If you are planning to attend one of the big boxing events in Las Vegas you do need to plan way ahead of time. Hotel rooms fill up fast and tickets can be hard to come by!

I agree with you. Watching two sweaty men hit each other and wrestle around on each other just doesn't do it for me lol. But guess whats on my television right now......

Ya, the hubby has the remote!
