Getting there
Allegiant Stadium sits just west of the Las Vegas Strip, across I-15 from Mandalay Bay. There is no light rail to the stadium; the RTC's Game Day Express bus runs from several Strip resorts and the South Strip Transit Terminal on Raiders game days. Driving uses I-15 (exits at Russell Road or Hacienda Avenue), with stadium parking lots and Strip resort garages providing the main options. Several Strip hotels run their own pre-game shuttles. Walking from Mandalay Bay or Luxor takes about 15–20 minutes via the pedestrian bridge. Rideshare zones are signed around the perimeter. Confirm bag and entry rules on the venue's official site before going.
The neighborhood
Allegiant Stadium's effective neighborhood is the south end of the Las Vegas Strip — Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, MGM Grand, T-Mobile Arena, and the broader resort corridor are all within a short walk or ride. This is one of the few NFL stadiums where the dining-and-bar neighborhood is essentially limitless: the entire Strip and its resort dining rooms function as the pre-game district. The Arts District (a few miles north downtown) and Chinatown on Spring Mountain Road (a short drive west) offer non-Strip options for visitors who want something different. Allegiant is also a short distance from Harry Reid International Airport, making the stadium one of the more airport-accessible major venues in the country.
Where to eat & drink nearby
The Strip is the pre-game district — essentially limitless options. Closest to the stadium, House of Blues Mandalay Bay and the Mandalay Bay food court are a short walk over the pedestrian bridge. For a longer walk or short ride, Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars is the canonical Vegas pre-game pile-up, and Hash House A Go Go brings big-portion comfort food. Lotus of Siam a short ride away is one of the best Thai restaurants in the country, and Esther's Kitchen in the Arts District is the standout local Italian option. Pre-game crowds at the closest Strip spots build well before kickoff.
First-timer tips
Plan to arrive 2–3 hours before kickoff — the walk from Mandalay Bay across the pedestrian bridge can stack up on Sundays. The Las Vegas Strip resorts are the simplest base; many hotels run their own shuttles. The dome roof keeps the field climate-controlled despite Las Vegas heat, so summer and early-season games are not the punishment they would be outdoors. The Al Davis Memorial Torch, a 93-foot 3D-printed monument inside the stadium, is lit before every Raiders home game and is the canonical first-time stadium moment. Allegiant enforces the NFL clear-bag policy strictly. Cellular reception inside the bowl is generally strong. For UNLV Rebels football games, the seating bowl operates with a smaller configuration.
Best games to catch
AFC West matchups against the Chiefs, Broncos, and Chargers are the divisional draws — Raiders–Chiefs in particular is consistently the hardest home ticket given Patrick Mahomes-era Chiefs dominance. The historic Raiders–Broncos and Raiders–Steelers rivalries carry the franchise's deepest heritage weight. Raiders–49ers (the Bay Area rivalry surviving the franchise's move) and Raiders–Cowboys typically peak demand. The team's promotional calendar and themed games are published on the official site and vary year to year. Allegiant also hosts UNLV Rebels football, the Las Vegas Bowl, and major concerts — making the venue's event calendar one of the busiest in the NFL.
What to know
Allegiant Stadium opened in July 2020 as the new home of the Raiders, who relocated from Oakland after the 2019 season. The black, domed exterior is one of the most architecturally distinctive NFL builds of the modern era, designed by Manica Architecture to evoke both a Raiders helmet and a desert form against the Vegas skyline. The fixed transparent ETFE roof keeps the field climate-controlled while letting natural light reach the playing surface; the field is grown outside on a sliding tray and rolled into the building before games. The Al Davis Memorial Torch — the 93-foot 3D-printed monument honoring the late Raiders owner — is the largest 3D-printed object in the world and is lit before every Raiders home game. The stadium hosted Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024 and is scheduled to host matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. UNLV Rebels football also calls the venue home. The stadium's location across from the Strip and a short distance from Harry Reid International Airport makes it one of the most accessible NFL venues for traveling fans.
