"We are excited to continue our tradition of hosting Major League Baseball with the return of Big League Weekend this spring," said Rossi Ralenkotter, President/CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "Once again, we will have the ever-popular Chicago Cubs and their tremendous fan base, as well as the storied franchises of the Cincinnati Reds and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It makes for a great weekend of baseball."

The Cubs have recorded 12 straight sellouts over the past six seasons (2005-10) for their annual Big League Weekend visits to Cashman Field.

"This is a great way to begin the baseball season for the fans of Southern Nevada," 51s General Manager Chuck Johnson said. "It's always exciting to have the Chicago Cubs play at Cashman Field. The Chicago fans, both locally and the tourist that are in attendance, provide for a great atmosphere.

"We also welcome Cincinnati back to Las Vegas for a second straight season. The Reds enjoyed an outstanding 2010 season under manager Dusty Baker. The Dodgers-Cubs game will also be a fun matchup. The Dodgers have a tremendous following in Las Vegas and the nucleus of the team played for the 51s before enjoying success on the Major League level."

The Cubs will be returning to Cashman Field for the seventh straight season and 10th all-time appearance in Las Vegas for Big League Weekend (1993, 1994, 1999, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010).

Cincinnati will be making its second straight appearance to Las Vegas. The Reds defeated the L.A. Dodgers, 12-4, on March 31, 2010 before a sellout crowd of 11,896.

The Dodgers will return to Cashman Field for the second straight season and sixth time overall appearance (2001-03, '06, '10). The Las Vegas 51s were the top farm club of the Dodgers for eight seasons (2001-08).

The 51s open their 29th season in the Silver State on Thursday, April 7 against the Fresno Grizzlies, Triple-A affiliate of the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, at Fresno, Calif. Las Vegas' home opener is Friday, April 15 against Fresno at 7:05 p.m. at Cashman Field.

Season tickets and mini-plan packages (10, 20, 33-game plans) are available by calling the 51s office at (702) 798-7825.
