Here are the Las Vegas Bowl events around town this week
Welcome to Bowl Week in Las Vegas. The Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl is set for Saturday afternoon at Sam Boyd Stadium.
If you're looking to attend the game, the game is a sellout, though tickets are available on the secondary market starting at about $150 each. If you're staying home, it will be on ABC-TV with broadcasting legend Brent Musburger calling the action.
