FROM RUGBY TO MONSTER TRUCKS, THERE’S LOTS TO SEE THIS SPRING

Game on — some of the best athletes from the world’s most rambunctious sports showdowns will descend upon Las Vegas this spring.

Kicking things off, the annual USA Sevens International Rugby Tournament takes over Sam Boyd Stadium from March 3 to 5. A highly anticipated weekend that is expected to draw more than 80,000 spectators, the event marks the first time in three years that the women’s competition will be held alongside the men’s in Las Vegas. The event will be the fifth global stop in the HSBC Sevens Series for the men’s teams.

An annual tradition, the Monster Jam World Finals returns to Sam Boyd March 23 through 25 this year. The wildly popular event features drivers competing for the racing and freestyle championship.

Then the 2017 Monster Energy Super cross FIM World Championship revs into the same venue on May 6. The 17-race competition looks to pack the perfect punch of action and adrenaline, in addition to showcasing the skills of reigning Super cross Champion Ryan Dungey and Pro Motocross Champion Ken Roczen.

USA Wrestling is holding one of its most important events at the South Point in 2017, its Open Wrestling Championships, from April 25 to 29. Headlining the event is the U.S. Senior Open in men’s freestyle, the national championships for that Olympic discipline. In addition, the U.S. World Team Trials in women’s freestyle and Greco-Roman will be held, which determines which athletes will represent the United States at the 2017 World Championships in France.
