Game Day Timeline
What the day looks like at Allegiant Stadium, hour by hour.
Stadium Lots Open
Official Allegiant Stadium lots open for tailgating. The south end of the Strip starts buzzing with silver-and-black jerseys heading toward the stadium.
Strip Pregame Peaks
The Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and south Strip sports bars fill with Raiders fans. Many fans pregame at casino bars and restaurants rather than traditional tailgating due to limited lot space.
Gates Open
Stadium gates open. Head in early to see the Al Davis memorial torch, explore the Wynn Field Club, and grab food without long lines.
Player Warmups
Players take the field for stretching and warmups. The lower bowl sections offer great photo opportunities with the unique translucent roof overhead.
Find Your Seats
Grab your street tacos and settle in. The stadium lights dim, the torch ignites, and the pregame ceremony builds the energy.
Game Time
The torch blazes, the crowd erupts in silver and black, and 65,000 fans create a wall of noise inside the fixed-roof dome. The 'RAAAAIDERS' call echoes through the enclosed stadium.
Exit Strategy
Head to the designated rideshare zone or walk back to the south Strip hotels. Post-game, the Las Vegas Strip is just getting started, restaurants, bars, and entertainment options run 24/7.
Tips & Fan Reports
Make sure to arrive by 11am for a 1pm game so you can grab merch, beer, and food before the rush. Everyone is very friendly - just leave a donation for any food or drinks at the fan tailgates.
The Al Davis memorial torch lights up on touchdowns and is visible from the Strip. One of the coolest stadium features in the league.
Walk from Mandalay Bay or Luxor if you are on the south Strip. 10-15 minute walk and you skip the $50+ rideshare surge entirely.
It is climate-controlled at 72 degrees inside. Vegas heat does not matter once you are through the doors. Dress for comfort.
The Raider Nation tailgate in Lot A is wild. Full costumes, face paint, themed RVs. It is the most visually intense tailgate scene in the NFL.
Weather
Allegiant Stadium is indoor, so these are the conditions for the parking lot and the walk in, not the seats.
Across the NFL season the warmest month is September, with an average high of 95°F, and the coldest is December, when the average low is 40°F. January is the wettest month at 0.6 inches and September the driest at 0.3 inches.
That December low ranks 23rd coldest of the 32 NFL venues, and January here ranks 32nd wettest.
