What to Expect
T-Mobile Arena sits on the Las Vegas Strip between New York-New York and Park MGM, surrounded by the Park entertainment district. The Golden Knights have created the most electric pregame show in the NHL, a full-production spectacle on Toshiba Plaza with live music, video displays, and the iconic Knight charging the stage. Vegas brings its entertainment DNA to hockey and the result is unlike anything else in sports. Games run about 2.5 hours. The Strip never sleeps, so post-game options are limitless.

Game Day
Be in the park area around 6-6:30 to see the parade and pep rally right outside the arena before a 7pm puck drop. The whole pre-game experience is part of what makes Vegas special.
Bag check closes 45 minutes after the event, so do not linger if you have used it.
A 9 by 5 by 2 inch personal bag is the entire allowance, and checking anything larger starts at $20 and is non-refundable.
Parking & Directions
Stay at Park MGM if you can. It is 100 steps to the arena front doors and has a shop where you can grab drinks to walk over for the pre-game scene. Super convenient for game days.
Parking near T-Mobile Arena is $35-40 for the garages at Excalibur or NYNY. There is a tram from Mandalay to Excalibur then walk from there, or Bellagio to Park MGM which is right at the arena.
The arena names New York-New York, Aria, Park MGM and Excalibur as nearby walking origins.
Food & Drinks
Beerhaus at the Park is the pregame spot for Golden Knights fans. Craft beer and communal tables.
The frozen cocktails are peak Vegas, embrace it. Just pace yourself in the desert heat.
Vegas has some of the best restaurant dining in the world. Use the game as an excuse for a fancy pregame dinner.
Seating
Most premium products here are multi-year memberships covering UFC, WWE, boxing and concerts as well as hockey, not single-game seats.
Club Seats are the two centre sections of the bowl, the best angles in the building, but they open the fewest lounges of any premium ticket.
Three lounges, three different guest lists. Bud Light on the Main Concourse west side admits Event Level Club, Club, Suite Level, Bunker Suite, Terrace Table, Loge and Opera Box. Goose Island behind the Loge seats drops Club Seats from that list. Louis XIII on the Event Level admits only Event Level Club and Bunker Suite.

How We Checked This Page
Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.
- Venue facts
Wikipedia / Official Venue Page
- Venue policies
Current T-Mobile Arena A-Z, bag, accessibility, parking, and food guides plus Vegas Golden Knights ticketing and VGKPay pages reviewed for game-day policies.
Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them (concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces), so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Ticket prices: Secondary market averages (SeatGeek/StubHub)
- Parking prices: Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none. The arena is cashless, reserved parking closes seven hours before an event, and the only figure is the VGK Express fare. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "T-Mobile Arena 2026: no arena garage, parking is in adjacent MGM Resorts garages. Prepaid $20 (NYNY/Aria) or $15 (Excalibur/MGM); day-of $25 Excalibur, $20 MGM Grand").
