The following are some of the big sports-related activities or events that will be happening in May 2021:

NFL Draft – April 29 – May 1, 2021

The 2021 NFL draft marks the 86th meeting of the NFL franchises, all designed to enable individual teams to select players who are newly eligible to play in the NFL. After the last two relatively quiet drafts, we’re all looking forward to a shake-up on the trade front. With so much heavy movement surrounding this year’s draft already, we’re sure to get some exciting picks and top-tier selections. The draft runs from April 29th to May 1st, 2021, and Las Vegas is the ideal venue for watching this annual event.

Kentucky Derby 2021 – May 1, 2021

Saturday, May 1st, brings the most exciting two minutes in horse racing to big screens around the world. The Kentucky Derby is one of the elite races in horse racing history and draws incredible crowds and millions of dollars in wagers throughout the races. If you find yourself in Las Vegas on May 1st, you simply have to join one of the viewing parties—and possibly place a bet or two while watching one of the most exhilarating races in history.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Billy Joe Saunders – May 8, 2021

Boxing has always been a staple in Las Vegas, and this highly anticipated super-middleweight fight is no exception. On May 8th, 2021, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will be contested by Billy Joe Saunders at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 40,000—the first of this magnitude since the COVID-19 pandemic. Alvarez is on a 14-fight unbeaten streak with only one loss on his record to Floyd Mayweather. Not to be outdone, Saunders is a perfect 30-0 and has defended his super-middleweight title twice. Needless to say, it’s going to be a great fight! Head to any Las Vegas sportsbook on May 8th to place your bets.

UFC 262 – May 15, 2021

On May 15th, 2021, the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, will host UFC 262 featuring Charles Oliveira and Michael Chandler as they square off for the lightweight title. This MMA event is sure to draw fans to the Las Vegas sportsbooks and is always a favorite to watch live. The UFC lightweight title is still vacant after champ Khabib Nurmagomedov relinquished the belt, so the winner of this fight will take home the championship. What better way to spend an evening in Vegas than viewing a little hand-to-hand combat?

PGA Championship – May 17 – 23, 2021

This annual golf tournament conducted by the Professional Golfers’ Association will take place from May 17th – 23rd, 2021, at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort along the coast of South Carolina. If you’re looking for something a little less rowdy but still have you biting your nails with anticipation, the PGA Championship is a must-watch. Grab a drink and settle in at your favorite Las Vegas bar to enjoy this one.

Indy 500 – May 30, 2021

The Indianapolis 500, also known as the Indy 500, is the annual automobile race that goes the distance. As part of the IndyCar Series, this 500-mile race is held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway every year as the premier auto racing event of the season.
