With March Madness upon us, it was nice to see the College Basketball Crown enter into a partnership with gambling giant MGM Resorts. By becoming an Official Partner of the post-season tournament, MGM has positioned themselves at the heart of one of college basketball’s most exciting new events, which is set to take place in Las Vegas next month.
The College Basketball Crown post-season tournament will be presented by FOX Sports and AEG, and it will feature 16 top teams from major conferences like the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East, as well as additional at-large participants. Set to take place from March 31 to April 6, 2025, in Las Vegas, the event will be hosted at T-Mobile Arena and MGM Grand Garden Arena, offering world-class venues that reflect MGM Resorts’ dedication to delivering exceptional sports experiences.
MGM Resorts will provide premier accommodations for the teams at ARIA, Park MGM, and the Vdara Hotel. These locations ensure the players experience the highest level of comfort and convenience. Fans can also enjoy exclusive travel and ticket packages through Vivid Seats, the tournament’s Official Ticketing Provider, and JSX, its Official Air Carrier, combining MGM Resorts’ accommodations with VIP seating and unique experiences.
Nick Baker, COO of AEG Global Partnerships, highlighted MGM Resorts’ unmatched reputation in hospitality, making them an ideal partner for the event. The College Basketball Crown promises a perfect blend of competitive basketball and fan engagement, with MGM Resorts enhancing both on-site and viewing experiences. The tournament will be broadcast live on FOX and FS1, bringing the thrill of college basketball to millions of viewers.
