"We’re excited to welcome everyone back for the fourth annual Live Like Lou Las Vegas Classic,” said Ryan Holloway, Founder and CEO of Peak Events. “Each year this event continues to grow, and we’re proud to once again bring four of the nation’s premier programs together at the incredible Las Vegas Ballpark.
