More than 1,200 seniors from around the region and diverse backgrounds will converge upon Mesquite to compete in the 2019 Mesquite Senior Games. Sponsored by Mesquite Gaming, owner of Casablanca Resort and Virgin River Hotel, encourages adults ages 50 and better to get active and participate in a variety of fun and challenging sporting events. The games include competitive events such as tennis, basketball, track and field, cycling, softball, table tennis, putting, bocce ball, and bowling. The 2019 Mesquite Senior Games begin March 4 and conclude April 14.
“The Mesquite Games always bring a tremendous amount of excitement and activity to the destination.” said Christian Adderson, corporate sales manager for Mesquite Gaming. “The games help enrich the lives of the participants and have a positive impact on our community. It’s a good time overall for everyone including the participants, families, visitors and the residents of Mesquite. As sponsors, we are extremely proud to be aligned with the games again in 2019.”
The Mesquite Senior Games, a nonprofit organization, began in 2002 with eight events. Today, the games have expanded to include nearly 20 events and also feature non-sporting activities such as poker, bridge, fitness hikes, and a history tour of downtown Mesquite.
“I’m excited to be working with the Mesquite Senior Games as we approach nearly two decades of promoting the health and fitness of seniors 50 and better,” said Amy Bradshaw, executive director for Mesquite Senior Games. “These competitions are made possible by the generosity of Mesquite Gaming and the City of Mesquite. We’re very blessed to have them both on our team.”
