INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Las Vegas will host an NCAA Tournament men's regional for the first time after the NCAA changed a policy that prevented states with sports wagering from hosting championships.
The NCAA announced that a 2023 NCAA Tournament men's regional will be held in Las Vegas, the first time Nevada will host an NCAA championship since a women's basketball regional was held at the Thomas & Mack Center in 1991.
The men's regional in Las Vegas was among 450 host sites announced through 2026 for a variety of sports. The NCAA also announced Dayton, Ohio, will continue to host the NCAA First Four through at least 2026.
