What you need to know
On event days, the Hacienda Avenue bridge, connecting the stadium to the Strip, is closed to traffic and becomes a dedicated pedestrian walkway. It is the primary walking route from the Mandalay Bay and Luxor hotels.
Allegiant Stadium is a completely cashless venue. All transactions for food, drinks, and merchandise must be made using credit, debit, or mobile payment methods. Cash-to-card kiosks are available on-site.
The stadium enforces the NFL's clear bag policy year-round. Only small clutch purses or approved clear bags (no larger than 12" x 6" x 12") are allowed inside. All other bags, including backpacks, are prohibited.
While it can be extremely hot outside, the stadium is a fully enclosed, air-conditioned dome. Stay hydrated before arriving, but rest assured you will be comfortable once you are inside the venue.
Getting there
The Hacienda Avenue bridge provides a dedicated pedestrian walkway from the west side of the Las Vegas Strip, near Mandalay Bay and Luxor, directly to the stadium.
Use the official, designated ride-share zone. Dropping off elsewhere will result in a long walk and pick-ups after the event will have very long waits and surge pricing.
Many of the major resort groups and third-party companies offer paid shuttle services directly to the stadium on event days. Check for availability and book in advance.
Before the show, after the encore
The closest major resort to the stadium. Explore its casino, visit the Shark Reef Aquarium, or have a drink at a bar before making the walk across.
The iconic sign is a relatively short walk south of Mandalay Bay. It is a quintessential photo opportunity for any visitor to the city.
Many of the casinos on the south end of the Strip, like Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and Excalibur, have large sports bars that will be buzzing with fans before the event.
Walk back across the bridge and find a bar at Mandalay Bay or Luxor to let the crowds and traffic die down while you discuss the event.
Las Vegas is home to some of the world's most famous nightclubs. After the event, head to a superclub at a resort like MGM Grand or Aria to dance the night away.
