Major League Baseball’s World Series is often referred to as the “Fall Classic” because it occurs every October and features the top teams from the National and American leagues in a best-of-seven series to determine the champion. Las Vegas will have its own version of the “Fall Classic” Wednesday night when it hosts the third and final presidential debate at UNLV before voters go to the polls Nov. 8. It will be the first time that Nevada has hosted a general election presidential debate.
