2025 Golden Desert Debate Tournament at UNLV

2025 — Las Vegas, NV/US

Welcome to the Golden Desert 2025

This year's Golden Desert will be hosted at UNLV in-person on February 1st-3rd. There are no hybrid or online options for either judging or competing. The tournament hotel is the Alexis Park Hotel and Resort. Our room block is small right now (50 rooms) but if it fills quickly we may be able to negotiate more rooms added to the block.

The Alexis Park has very low rates set for us this year, $129 on Friday and Saturday, and $69 on Sunday. (Resort fee has also been discounted so this may be one of the most affordable tournaments we have hosted).

CCSD school district schools receive a $30 discount per entry.

All teams are waitlisted until judging is covered and payment is received or verified being sent. We do have a very limited amount of hired judging available. Judges are expected to be on site each day of the tournament that they have signed up for.
