LAS VEGAS — Youth soccer teams from across the country will head to Las Vegas this November for one of the city’s largest annual sporting events, the Las Vegas Thanksgiving Classic, taking place Nov. 28–30, 2025.
The sporting event is expected to draw in thousands of visitors to the city over the Thanksgiving weekend including players, parents and the coaches. Matches will be held at top local facilities, including Bettye Wilson, Kellogg-Zaher, James Regional, and Ed Fountain sports complexes.
The competition starts on Friday, Nov. 28 and teams will get to play a minimum of 4 games guaranteed ending with a championship round. As a stay-and-play event, this is a boost to the city’s much-needed tourism after tourism in the city fell again in June.
In anticipation of the increase of visitors to the city, Cirque du Soleil has partnered with the sales team of the soccer tournament to offer exclusive group rates, VIP experiences, access to Cirque du Soleil merchandise and priority access.
