Memorial Day West Coast Smoke Basketball Tournament

Memorial Day West Coast Smoke Basketball Tournament makes Henderson the place to be for serious youth hoops over the holiday weekend. You will watch elite boys and girls teams from 3rd grade through varsity compete in a three day national showcase anchored at the Supreme Courtz Sports Complex, with overflow games at area high schools across Henderson and Las Vegas. If you are traveling with an athlete, you can pair full days of competition with an easy Southern Nevada getaway.

You should expect a loud, concentrated environment with multiple courts running at once and strong programs from national circuits. Check your digital schedule early since tip offs are distributed across venues to handle the field, and some gyms can reach capacity for marquee matchups. We recommend arriving 45 minutes before your game to park, clear the gate, and find the right court.

Pool play starts Saturday as early as 8:00 AM, continues Sunday with final rankings set by evening, and moves into elimination brackets on Monday with championships through late afternoon. Champions are crowned across Gold, Silver, and Bronze divisions, and you can expect regional scouts and media tracking standout performances.

Between games you are close to Lake Mead National Recreation Area for boating and to McCullough Range trails for a quick hike, while the Green Valley dining corridor and the Las Vegas Strip are a short drive when you want a night out. For smooth logistics, book in Henderson near Green Valley or Sunset Station for proximity to the complex and most school gyms, or look to Lake.com for larger rentals near Lake Mead. Teams are typically guaranteed four games, team entry fees often run about $350, spectators should plan for daily gate fees, and desert basics matter, bring high SPF sunscreen, plenty of water, and keep the tournament app open for live scores and schedule changes.
