College Football

NCAA Football, created in 1997 to promote college football ideals, makes no bones about the importance of each game. Losing at any time during the season can thwart a team's chances for postseason action or an NCAA Championship. No wonder NCAA Football marketers have adopted a tagline of "NCAA Football: Every Game Counts."

Best in the Desert

Gather at the Sunset Hotel for a 300 mile desert and mountain race from Las Vegas to Reno, over a three-day period, in the longest off-road race in the country.

The Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive and Festival

Over the first weekend after Labor Day, a 4-day festival of shows, contests, workshops, shopping opportunities and continuous entertainment are featured in a variety of venues throughout Las Vegas, for pros, spectators and everyone in between.

Mexican Independence Day

A number of venues in Las Vegas host live music, food and craft booths, most notably a fair and picnic at Freedom Park sponsored by the Mexican Patriotic Committee as a fundraiser for student scholarships, on or around September 16.

San Gennaro Feast

Staged in honor of San Gennaro, this Las Vegas festival features ethnic food vendors, live entertainment, a carnival midway and family fun.
