LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The University of Wyoming Cowboy Joe Club and the UW Alumni Association will co-host pre-game hospitalities each day the Wyoming men's and women's basketball teams play a game in the 2010 Mountain West Conference Basketball Tournament. The ESPN Zone at the New York New York Hotel and Casino will be the official pre-game location for Wyoming Fans to gather.
The New York New York is located at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue just 2 miles from the Thomas & Mack Center, the site for the 2010 MWC Basketball Tournament.
The ESPN Zone will serve great food and offer a cash bar to Wyoming fans. The hospitalities will begin 2 1/2 hours before tip-off and last until 1/2 hour prior to each game.
The projected schedule for the pre-game receptions follows and of course is dependent on whether the Cowboys or Cowgirls advance to each round of the Tournament.
