Allegiant Stadium
A Guide to Allegiant Stadium
Known affectionately as the Death Star for its striking, jet-black translucent exterior, Allegiant Stadium stands as a futuristic landmark at the edge of the Las Vegas Strip. It offers a uniquely Vegas atmosphere where sports and the world's most famous entertainment district collide.
Getting to the Stadium
The stadium sits on the west side of I-15, directly behind the Mandalay Bay and Luxor Hotel & Casino resort complexes. Its location at the south end of the Strip makes it accessible on foot from Strip hotels or by car from the surrounding area.
Driving & Parking
- DrivingFrom I-15 (from the north/Strip area), take the Russell Road exit and follow signs to the stadium. From I-15 (from the south), take the same exit. From I-215 (the Beltway), connect to I-15 North and take Russell Road. On gameday a number of streets around the stadium are converted to one ways or completely shut down and converted to pedestrian only.
- ParkingOfficial stadium lots are limited, expensive, and must be pre-purchased via SpotHero, the official parking partner. Parking at casino garages along the Strip such as Mandalay Bay, Luxor Hotel & Casino, and Excalibur is a popular and generally cheaper alternative. Walking through the Mandalay Bay/Luxor complex and across the Hacienda Crossing pedestrian bridge to the stadium is a popular route. Tailgating is limited due to the confined parking options.
Public Transit
- The Deuce bus route runs along Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip) 24/7. The closest stop is at Mandalay Bay. Game Day Express shuttles run from 6 suburban locations (Red Rock Casino, Green Valley Ranch Resort, Santa Fe Station Hotel & Resort, Sam's Town Hotel, Aliante Casino, and M Resort Spa Casino).
Rideshare
- The designated rideshare zone is in Lot N North of the stadium, across W Hacienda Ave. Walking to the Mandalay Bay or Luxor Hotel & Casino rideshare areas provides alternatives, but the Strip itself creates bottlenecks.
Pregame Festivities
The Las Vegas Strip IS the pregame. With hundreds of restaurants, bars, casinos, and entertainment options within walking distance, the pregame scene at Allegiant Stadium is unmatched in variety and excess.
Pregame Bars & Restaurants
- Located inside Mandalay Bay the House of Blues offers live music, Southern inspired food, and cocktails. The Gospel Brunch on Sundays is legendary. The proximity makes it the natural first stop before walking to the stadium.
- A modern sports bar at Mandalay Bay with craft cocktails, elevated bar food, and wall-to-wall screens. Being in the closest resort to the stadium, it draws a heavy pregame crowd. The atmosphere is upscale sports bar.
- Located at The Park (the outdoor entertainment district between Park MGM and T-Mobile Arena), this beer hall features a large draft beer selection, communal tables, and lawn games.
- An authentic Irish pub at Mandalay Bay offering pints, whiskey, and traditional Irish fare. The interior was actually built in Ireland and shipped to Las Vegas. A more relaxed pregame option just steps from the pedestrian bridge to the stadium.
- A Tijuana-style taco shop on Las Vegas Boulevard that has become a late night and pregame institution. The adobada (marinated pork) tacos are legendary, cooked on a vertical spit and served on handmade tortillas. Cheap, fast, and one of the best values on the Strip.
- A pizza spot inside Mandalay Bay serving New York-style slices and craft cocktails. Quick, satisfying pregame fuel in the closest resort to the stadium.
- A Las Vegas staple with multiple locations across the valley. Their burritos, tacos, and California-style Mexican food have been a go-to for locals since the 1960s. Cheap, delicious, and available late night.
- A local Irish pub off of the Strip, known for traditional Irish food, live music, and a genuine pub atmosphere. It's a favorite among Vegas locals and a different experience from the resort bars.
- A cafe at The LINQ Hotel offering coffee, pastries, and light bites. Good for a quick pregame stop.
- A sports bar next to the stadium offering cocktails, craft beer, and sports viewing with multiple screens and a gameday atmosphere.
- A sports themed bar near the stadium area offering the tailgate experience that the stadium's limited lots don't provide. Drinks, bar food, and a pregame crowd.
- The iconic West Coast burger chain has a couple of locations near the stadium. For visitors from outside the West Coast, it's a must-try.
Monuments & Features
