Mandalay Bay (1-877-632-7800)
Pricing:3 | Seats:4 | Events:5
Mandalay Bay hosts many of Vegas' biggest matchups. As with any large location, you can get cheap tickets for these fights, but you better bring binoculars - okay seats will cost you at least $100. The best thing about Mandalay Bay is how well they manage their scheduling - fights run one after the next with minimal time in between, unlike almost every other casino that makes you wait for years between bouts.

MGM (1-877-880-0880)
Pricing:3 | Seats:2 | Events: 5
It's no secret that many of the biggest fights in Vegas come to the MGM. Even though you can buy seats for $25 & $50, they're easily 20 miles away, so be ready to shell out some cash for a good view. I'm personally biased here a bit because of a pair of 100 tickets I bought for a fight last year that put me so far back that we watched 90% of the fights on the monitor.

Thomas and Mack (739-3267 or 866-388-3267)
Pricing:3 | Seats:2 | Events:5
The famous Thomas and Mack center has been hosting more events recently. Considering the facility is designed to handle 19,522 boxing fans, you can be assured that it is reserved for the really big fights. However, a place like this doesn’t air-condition itself for free, so be ready to shell out ten bucks just to park and you may have to a get second mortgage your home to afford a beer.

Orleans (800-675-3267)
Pricing: 5 | Seating: 3 | Events: 4
The Orleans is undisputed champion of Las Vegas Boxing, and lvboxing.com’s pick for best venue three years straight. There is simply no one else that comes close. These fights have a devoted group of fans that really get into it, and for around 35 to 50 bucks you'll a good view of the ring and a solid night of boxing
