Maui Jim Maui Invitational relocating to Las Vegas

The Wisconsin men’s basketball team was slated to spend Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii, but will instead be traveling to Las Vegas. Due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Maui Jim Maui Invitational is relocating to Las Vegas this season, as announced by the tournament on Oct. 2.

Remaining on the originally scheduled dates from Nov. 22-24, the event will now be held at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Casino.

The field is still expected to include Butler, Chaminade, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon, Saint Mary’s, Texas A&M and Wisconsin.

For Wisconsin fans who purchased a donor travel package to the Maui Invitational, a full refund will be provided from Anthony Travel and patrons will receive an email from the Wisconsin Athletic Development Office with more details.

For Badger fans who purchased game tickets only to the Maui Invitational, a full refund will be provided from Wisconsin Athletics and patrons will receive an email from the Wisconsin Athletic Ticket Office with more details.

Tickets for the new Las Vegas location will go on sale at a later date. Patrons who originally purchased tickets to the Maui Invitational will be given first access to tickets, followed by donors and men’s basketball season ticketholders.
