The American men’s and women’s senior national teams are partnering with MGM Resorts International and will conduct their training camps in July at MGM properties, the company announced Thursday morning.

Training camps begin July 6, and the teams will play a combined seven exhibition games against other national teams at Michelob Ultra Arena from July 10 to July 18.

USA Basketball previously trained at UNLV’s Mendenhall Center.

“USA Basketball is proud to expand its partnership with MGM Resorts. We’re excited to bring our national teams to their properties as we prepare for the challenging competition that lies ahead this summer,” USA Basketball’s CEO, Jim Tooley, said in a statement.
