I see the Rockets are scheduled to play in the Las Vegas Holiday Classic.

No major names (other than Toledo :) in the field, and no teams from Vegas - or Nevada even. So that's interesting.

Rockets will play Troy & Pacific.

"Mid-American Conference powerhouse Toledo will undoubtedly be among the nation’s best mid-majors in 2019-20."

I hope the above propaganda from the tournament's press release turns out to be correct.

Troy and Pacific should be two competitive games for us.

Rockets west of the Mississippi!

Getting a trip to Vegas, regardless of the competition, can help with recruiting (and it's a nice weekend trip for the fans as well).

Good deals on rooms @ South Point Hotel & Casino/Arena; free hotel shuttle to and from airport.

Yeah, it's off the path (even though it is on the Strip), but still looks like a decent place.

For anyone wondering, this is the venue where they'll be playing their games.

That's not bad...heck, some of the casinos still do airfare deals if you stay with them as well.
