Las Vegas 'about more than just boxing'
2 Mar 2009
It may be famous around the world as a venue for high-profile heavyweight bouts, but Las Vegas offers more to sports fans than just boxing, according to the local tourist board.
People with a passion for darts will be able to visit the Nevada city's Mandalay Bay venue between 1 and 5 July to see the Las Vegas Desert Classic, which last year was won by Phil 'The Power' Taylor.
One of America's most popular pastimes is ten-pin bowling, which will be celebrated during the US Bowling Congress Open Championship this year.
This massive event, which is already underway and will run until 23 July, sees the Cashman Center turned into a 60-lane bowling alley to host contests between nearly 85,000 competitors.
People who consider Las Vegas to be at its best when it is brought to life by the excitement of a major boxing match can visit the city around 2 May as it hosts a bout between British favourite Ricky Hatton and Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao.
Las Vegas is the most populous city in the state of Nevada and is served by airlines including Virgin Atlantic, US Airways and KLM.
