The 2026 Sin City Classic host hotel will once again be The Flamingo, just steps away from the LINQ Promenade, High Roller Observation Wheel, Fly LINQ Zipline and countless Sin City attractions. Additional rooms at special Sin City Classic rates will be available at the neighboring LINQ Hotel as well as Horseshoe Las Vegas.
Reservations made through the Sin City Classic website get FREE parking and other benefits. Athletes who booked their rooms through the SCC room block should accept the parking fee when checking in so that parking is added to the room. This allows the comp rate to remove the parking charge at checkout. If athletes self-pay for parking it cannot be refunded.
Special Premium and Deluxe rooms are available at each host hotel for a higher rate. These rooms are limited and will sell out! Suite will be available at a later date. Please email lucas@sincityclassic.org if you’re interested in learning more about suites.
The Sin City Classic Room Block will be available for bookings until Dec 31st, 2025. Starting Jan 1, 2026, rooms can still be booked through the link for free parking but they will be at the market rate.
