I say screw LV. Personally I'd vote for Sunny San Diego, specifically maybe the convention center. What do you guys think?

There's a reason the MWC, PAC12 & WCC all have/had their conference tourneys there, attendance.

Having the tournament in Vegas is not the problem.
Having the Tournament in one of the conference members home building is the problem.
MWC did it for cash. It was cheaper for them.
SDSU fans were foolish to say they didn't mind the tournament at the T&M because they loved the tournament in Vegas.

Unless we go with an East/West division in which NOLA would be an option, yes it should be in Vegas just not at the T&M. You want fans to attend and LV is a "party city." If not Vegas, then we are probably looking at LA or Orange.

Intuit dome if its available I'd prefer it to stay in Vegas but play in T-Mobile Arena rather than Thomas & Mack, although Intuit Dome is my second choice! I'm heading up for a game at Intuit Dome later this month, really curious and looking forward to it! |

The PAC will continue its long held tradition of ignoring UNLV while using Las Vegas as our home turf. The PAC basketball tournament should continue to be in Vegas, most likely the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Furthermore, The PAC-12 headquarters should be moved from the Bay Area to Las Vegas.

How is this even a question? EVERY single basketball conference should hold their conference tourney in Las Vegas! With the addition of 'at least' 1 NBA worthy arena soon to be built... it could easily hold 5 tourneys (MGM Grand Garden, T&M, T-Mobile, Sphere). The environment would be unreal with 100k+ college fans running wild! Plus, I could watch my Aztecs play without leaving town!  |

Thomas @ Mack was a good tailgating venue until they banned tailgating at the 2023 MWC basketball tournament.

Missing from this list is that the Orleans hosts both the West Coast and WAC tournaments. Capacity is about 9,000. |

We dominate in Vegas and now we don't even have to play against UNLV while we're there... yes please
Not for nothing, Dutch and Fisher before him almost exclusively recruit gym rats. I feel like we have an advantage playing in one of the most distracting cities in the world. We're a little less likely to be distracted than our opponents.

Vegas is the smart place. So far, the cities represented by the league have only 2 or 3 venues with airport access(reasonable size with direct flights) not on campus. Would say San Diego, Spokane and maybe Denver(CSU)? SD( Sports Aroma) and Spokane ( Spokane Arena or Convention Center) are tolerable at best. And The MWC tried to take it on the road at Denver with sad results. There are more viable sites in Vegas than the whole league combined! He'll, I would be happy just having it at South Point, place got every thing in one place.
