Triple-A baseball club, the Aviators have been in Las Vegas longer than any other professional sports team. The Aviators began as the Las Vegas Stars in 1983, changed their name to the Las Vegas 51s, a reference to Area 51, in 2001, and became the Aviators for 2019 and beyond. They have won 2 Pacific Coast League crowns and 10 division titles. The team opened a new ballpark in Summerlin in 2019.
NFL (football) team that began playing in Las Vegas in 2020 after relocating from Oakland.
NHL (ice hockey) team that made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final in its first season in 2017–18 (though losing), and lifted the Cup in its sixth season in 2022–23. The city's first team in one of the "big four" professional sports of the US and Canada, joined by the Las Vegas Raiders of the NFL in 2020.
Another major rodeo event is the finals of the Professional Bull Riders series, a separate circuit dedicated to bull riding. The PBR finals, held in late October/early November at the T-Mobile Arena, have more of an international flavor than the NFR—while the NFR is exclusive to the US and Canada, PBR runs national series in Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Australia, and all of these countries, especially Brazil, are represented on the U.S. circuit.
WNBA (women's basketball) team that relocated from San Antonio to Vegas in 2018. The arena is part of the Mandalay Bay casino resort.
Arguably the city's most prominent sporting event is the finals of the annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit, held over 10 days in December just off the Strip at the Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus.
