The athletic teams of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, better known as UNLV, are popular in the area. The Rebels are members of the Mountain West Conference, which has been expanding and now has 12 members for football and 11 members for other sports. The most famous UNLV team is the men's basketball team, known as the "Runnin' Rebels"; though not as strong as in their heyday from the late 1970s through the early 1990s, they remain solidly competitive and very popular. Most of the school's sports venues are on campus, but since 2020 the football team has shared the Las Vegas Raiders' home of Allegiant Stadium just west of I-15. The central ticket office for all UNLV sports is at the Thomas & Mack Center, home to men's basketball.
Out of the four NCAA Division I conferences that hold their men's and women's basketball tournaments in the Las Vegas area, the MW is one of two that holds events in this part of town. The MW's men's and women's teams converge on the Thomas & Mack Center every March to determine the teams that will receive the league's automatic berths in the NCAA men's and women's tournaments.
The other D-I conference that holds its tournaments in this area, the Big West has moved its men's and women's tournaments to the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson proper. The 2022 tournaments were the first events in the new arena.
The season-ending event of the annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit is held over 10 days in December just off the Strip at the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus.

The $6.95 steak special is consistently voted one of the best deals in Las Vegas. It's not on the menu, so ask for it specifically.

Ellis Island also brews its own beer, and serves them in the casino bar in 20-oz glasses for $1.50.
Juicy, succulent portions of the company namesake, Prime Rib. All prime rib dinners include original spinning bowl salad, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes and whipped creamed horseradish.
