BLAST may host CS2 Major in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), a government agency that promotes southern Nevada as a tourism and convention destination, will hold a meeting on November 10 to consider approving a $2 million sponsorship agreement with BLAST ApS. Under the agreement, the city would host two events in 2028, including a Counter-Strike 2 Major.

As part of the deal, Las Vegas would host the second Major of 2028, tentatively scheduled to run from November 20 to December 10. BLAST would also hold another esports event at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the summer of 2028, though it is not yet known whether that event will involve Counter-Strike.

BLAST previously hosted a Counter-Strike 2 Major in Austin, USA, in 2025. According to the tournament operator, more than 45,000 tickets were sold for that event, which generated an economic impact of $102 million.
