2025 Las Vegas Hoopla

The Las Vegas Hoopla takes place in Las Vegas just prior to the Christmas holiday each season. Participants stay directly on the world-famous “Las Vegas strip” and can walk to all the sights, restaurants, and other attractions that Las Vegas has to offer.

With direct flights into McCarran International Airport (LAS) from nearly every major U.S. city, Las Vegas is a convenient destination for teams and fans alike.
