Cosmopolitan Las Vegas is once again running one of its most popular annual events, Hoops and Hops. Cosmo describes it as the “ultimate college basketball viewing experience” and, while I’m not quite ready to declare that to be the case, it does sound like a lot of fun.

Hoops and Hops Details

The event will take place during the NCAA tournament, March 16-18. Tickets will be on sale at Cosmo’s website on Friday, January 13. According to Cosmopolitan, the Belmont Ballroom’s 40,000-square-foot space will transform into a reimagined basketball-lover’s dream featuring wall-to-wall high-definition projection screens, a dedicated on-site sports book along with 10 betting stations, a hardwood basketball court with regulation hoop, complimentary games including Golden Tee and Super Shot, an array of culinary offerings and more. Ticketed guests will also receive complimentary entry into Marquee Nightclub all weekend long with a valid Hoops & Hops wristband. I mean, the Golden Tee and Super Shot alone are worth the price of the ticket.
