Las Vegas considers $2 million BLAST agreement including a 2028 Counter-Strike Major

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority is scheduled to consider a $2 million sponsorship agreement with BLAST covering two esports events in 2028, including a Counter-Strike Major.

The proposal appears in documents for the authority’s November 10 board meeting. It remains a proposed agreement rather than a completed hosting announcement.

Second Major of 2028 targeted

Under the arrangement, Las Vegas would host the year’s second Major, tentatively scheduled for November 20–December 10, 2028.

The proposal places the event around the period between Thanksgiving and the National Finals Rodeo.

A second event is also included

The agreement would bring another BLAST esports event to the Las Vegas Convention Center during Summer 2028. Its GAME has not been confirmed.

Proposed benefits include host-city designation, broadcast and digital promotion, hospitality access and ticket allocations.

If approved and completed, the arrangement would bring a Counter-Strike Major back to the united States following BLAST’s Austin event in 2025.
