Any parent of a child on a travel sports team can understand the difficulty of finding a hotel when the kids have a tournament. Now, an innovative new resort in Nevada is aiming to become a tournament destination resort as a dedicated sports ranch. The Rising Star Sports Ranch in Mesquite, Nevada, will be the second U.S. facility outside of ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando to serve as a facility for sports competitions and housing for teams and their families.
