Get ready, Las Vegas! The high-octane excitement of Monster Jam is returning to the Thomas & Mack Center from July 26 through July 2812. This thrilling event promises to bring family fun as world champion athletes and their 12,000-pound monster trucks tear up the dirt in wide-open competitions of speed and skill.

A Brief History of Monster Jam

Monster Jam is a live motorsport event tour operated by Feld Entertainment. The series began in 1992 and is sanctioned under the United States Hot Rod Association umbrella. Events are primarily held in North America, with additional events in other countries. Monster Jam emerged from the 1970s trend of modified monster trucks, and Bigfoot was the star. In 1981, a video of Bigfoot crushing cars caught the attention of a promoter, leading to the first official monster truck shows at tractor-pulling events in arenas. These events inspired other trucks to join in, which helped grow the sport.

What Makes Monster Jam Unique?

Each Monster Jam event showcases 12,000-pound monster trucks that defy gravity and perform awe-inspiring feats. The trucks, like the iconic Grave Digger and Max-D, are powered by supercharged engines producing 1,500 horsepower and are equipped with 66-inch tires designed specifically for the rigors of Monster Jam.
