Nadal’s first match since retiring
MGM Resorts announced that Nadal, who retired from pro tennis in 2024, will return for The MGM Slam on Feb. 28. It will be his first competitive match since retiring, according to News 3. Nadal played the 2024 MGM Slam against Carlos Alcaraz and lost a 14-12 tiebreak. He owns 22 major titles, a record 14 French Open titles and two Olympic gold medals. In MGM’s announcement, Nadal said he remembers the energy of a full arena in Las Vegas and that the love of competing “never really goes away.” His opponent and ticket prices were not listed in the reports we reviewed.

What it means for locals and visitors
Read our earlier stories for more on Nadal’s MGM Slam and the Doobie Brothers residency. If you want any of these, set a reminder for Friday morning, and MGM Rewards members can try the Nadal presale on Tuesday. Late February looks busy: Nadal and the Doobie Brothers’ opening weekend fall on the same weekend, so expect bigger crowds near T-Mobile Arena and the north Strip.
