March in Las Vegas is a haven for sports lovers. With the city playing host to one of the biggest and most prestigious trio of events including UFC 196, the Cobalt Tools 400 NASCAR Sprint race, and the USA Sevens Rugby tournament. If attending all three events (all within 48 hours) might be a bit out of your price range, but there are ways to enjoy your favourite sports without breaking the bank – free events run throughout the week!
Stock Car Racing
If you would rather spend your time driving instead of chasing after racing stars, then the Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the perfect place for you. Between 9:00 and 15:00 from March 3, this fantastic track is available to teams for test laps. Fans can watch their favourite competing teams practise on the track for free!
Mixed Martial Arts
UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is set to face Nate Diaz, while women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm will be defending her title for the first time post-Ronda Rousey. Die hard MMA fans can catch a glimpse and even meet the fighters for an autograph at two pre-fight activities. On March 2 and 12:30, the UFC fighters will be working out at the Jabbawockeez Theater at the MGM Grand, while on March 4 at 16:00, pay-per-view weigh in at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Rugby
Enjoy a more fast-paced version of rugby with 7 players instead of the usual 15 at one of rugby’s biggest events. On March 3 at 18:30, the Fremont Street Experience transforms into a hub of multicultural celebration, with all 16 of the teams taking part in a parade and opening ceremonies. Rugby fans can enjoy amateur rugby games between March 3 and March 5 at Sam Boyd Stadium – for free!
Basketball
March is a huge month for Basketball in Vegas with March Madness. If you’re a basketball fan and visiting Las Vegas between March 17 and April 7, head out to any number of bars and restaurants to enjoy food and drink specials while you watch the game.
