Where to stay for T-Mobile Arena

The ideal hotel neighborhood for T-Mobile Arena visitors is immediately adjacent to the venue, including resorts such as New York-New York and Park MGM, which are within easy walking distance. The broader Las Vegas Strip also provides convenient accommodation options.

The Strip (South Strip)

This area provides direct access to T-Mobile Arena and MGM Grand Garden Arena, along with numerous pre and post-game entertainment and dining options. It also offers convenient transit connections to Allegiant Stadium.

The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the Strip, with the MGM Grand Station being a short walk to T-Mobile Arena through The Park. The RTC Deuce bus operates 24/7 along the Strip, with stops near T-Mobile Arena (Park MGM or Excalibur) and near Mandalay Bay for Allegiant Stadium (requiring a walk across the Hacienda Bridge, which is closed to vehicular traffic on game days).

Downtown Las Vegas

Downtown offers a distinct 'old Vegas' atmosphere with a revitalized urban core, often featuring more budget-friendly accommodations and a vibrant entertainment scene centered around the Fremont Street Experience.

The RTC Deuce bus connects Downtown to the Strip, enabling transfers for T-Mobile Arena and Allegiant Stadium (via the Mandalay Bay stop and Hacienda Bridge walk). The Downtown Loop is a free shuttle servicing attractions within Downtown, including the Bonneville Transit Center, which connects to The Deuce.

Henderson (Green Valley Area)

An upscale, suburban community known for its safety, amenities, and relaxed atmosphere, offering a quieter alternative to the Strip, suitable for families.

The RTC Game Day Express provides direct bus service to Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena from designated pick-up locations in Green Valley, such as the Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa & Casino, for regular season games. General RTC bus service, like Route 217, can connect to the South Strip Transit Terminal.

Summerlin

An affluent, master-planned community on the west side of Las Vegas, Summerlin is known for its parks, trails, and a more relaxed, suburban environment, making it suitable for those seeking a quieter stay.

The RTC Game Day Express offers direct bus service to Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena from a designated pick-up location in Summerlin (Red Rock Casino Resort Spa) for regular season games.
