The 2013 Best of the West Lacrosse Classic was comprised of close to 100 teams from; California, Idaho, New Jersey, Illinois, Utah, Canada, and Nevada. The UNLV lacrosse club took back the reigns of this event, hosting our neighbors to what was considered by most, “one of the best run tournaments …ever”. We hope that all who attended will be coming back to experience our “Vegas Style” hospitality and that the good word on this event will boost attendance to at least 100 teams for the 2013 event. We have a stellar venue that is a world class tournament facility provided to us by The City of Las Vegas. We are proud to be hosting our tournament at the Charlie Kellogg Joe Zaher Sports Complex. This new facility has 11 fields, a large practice area and ample room for teams to stretch out. It is located in the Northwest quadrant of the valley and adjacent to the Summerlin Parkway for convenient access.
