==== Men's basketball ====
((Main|UNLV Runnin' Rebels basketball))
((More citations needed section|date=May 2014))
The most decorated team at UNLV is the Runnin' Rebels men's basketball team, which plays at the [[Thomas & Mack Center]] at Jerry Tarkanian Court which seats 18,776 for basketball and is on the UNLV campus (they may play some games at [[T-Mobile Arena]], which opened in 2016 and seats 20,000 for basketball). The arena opened in 1983 and received a major interior and exterior renovation prior to the start of the 1999–2000 season. In 2005, the court was named in honor of former head coach Jerry "Tark the Shark" Tarkanian, who coached UNLV from 1973–92 and had a record of 509–105 (.829) during that run. 2008 saw the installation of all new visual equipment, including a four-sided center-hung LED widescreen scoreboard.

NCAA executive director [[Walter Byers]] famously disliked Tarkanian, and said "Tark’s black players play a fast city-lot basketball without much style. Grab ball and run like hell, not lots of passing to set up the shots.”<ref name="auto3">((Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/26/sports/ncaabasketball/jerry-tarkanian-and-walter-byers-adversaries-who-left-mark-on-ncaa.html|title=Jerry Tarkanian and Walter Byers: Adversaries Who Left Mark on N.C.A.A.|first=Joe|last=Nocera|date=December 25, 2015|work=The New York Times))</ref> Byers described U.N.L.V.’s style as “ghetto run-and-shoot basketball” with little concern for defense.<ref name="auto3"/>

UNLV is one of two programs from outside of the six power conferences listed. UNLV also currently holds the NCAA record for most consecutive games with a made three-pointer. The Runnin' Rebels have made at least one three-point goal in each game since the rule was adopted universally for the 1986-87 season. The last time UNLV failed to make a three-pointer was January 25, 1986 against Long Beach State.

The Runnin' Rebels have also appeared in three pre-season NIT tournaments, including two Final Fours and one pre-season NIT championship, and ten NIT tournaments, including one Final Four appearance.

In 2007, the UNLV Athletics Department and International Sports Properties, Inc. (ISP Sports) agreed to work together with UNLV's multi-media rights and corporate sales and sponsorship development for athletics, special events and entertainment. The partnership will guarantee UNLV Athletics more than $32 million over the next 10 years that will go into its athletics and entertainment venues as well as enhancing the visibility of its sponsors and advertisers. Three elements make up the royalty from ISP to UNLV: annual guaranteed rights fees, signage stipends, and revenue sharing of totals in excess of defined thresholds.

In 2010, the UNLV Athletics Department and Justice Entertainment Group (JEG) agreed to form a relationship to book and market special events hosted in the Thomas & Mack Center, Cox Pavilion and Sam Boyd Stadium. The partnership will help to protect the university's current revenue streams as well as create new ones and bring additional resources to enhance UNLV's special events and athletic events.

===Television package===

The UNLV Skatin' Rebels hockey team plays at [[City National Arena]], an off-campus arena which seats 600 for hockey and is owned by the [[Vegas Golden Knights]] of the [[National Hockey League]] and the [[Howard Hughes Corporation]]. The arena opened on September 18, 2017 and previous to its opening the team played between Las Vegas Ice Center and SoBe Ice Arena. The move to City National allowed the Rebels to move the program up to [[American Collegiate Hockey Association]] Division I.
