The Maaco Bowl Las Vegas will kick off on December 22, 2009 and will pit a team from the MWC against the Pac-10. This post-season college football game is sponsored by Maaco, and has been played annually since 1992 at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sam Boyd Stadium seats 40,000 fans and since 2001, the bowl gets first choice of Mountain West Conference teams. Normally, this team would be the MWC conference champion, unless that team was to qualify for the BCS.

The Maaco Bowl Las Vegas has been around since 1981, when it was first introduced as the California Raisin Bowl. The bowl was played in Fresno, California until 1991, when it was moved to Las Vegas and renamed the Las Vegas Bowl. In 1995, the first-ever overtime college football game was played in the Las Vegas Bowl when Toledo defeated Nevada 40-37. The following season, overtime was adopted for the regular college football season.

BYU has appeared in four Las Vegas Bowls, more than any other team. Although a few other teams have multiple appearances in the bowl, no team has ever won the game more than twice. Since this year's game is slated to feature a team from the strong Pac-10 against the likely MWC conference champion, the game is a good bet to be a competitive one.

But once the teams are set, the event kicks in for real with the Team Welcome ... Media Conference on December 10th at the ESPN Zone. On December 19th, fans will enjoy Terry Fator Show Night at The Mirage and return to the ESPN Zone for the Welcome Reception.

On Monday, December 21st, fans will gather at the famous Fremont Street Experience for a pep rally, and there will be a Kickoff Luncheon at the Las Vegas Convention Center, as well as a Cheer Clinic and the Kickoff Media Conference. Finally, on game day, the Bud Light Pre Game Tailgate Party kicks off at the stadium followed by the big game.
