Game Day Timeline
What the day looks like at T-Mobile Arena, hour by hour.
Arrive on the Strip
Walk from your Strip hotel or take a rideshare. The Park entertainment district between New York-New York and Park MGM is the pregame gathering area.
The Park and Toshiba Plaza
The outdoor Park district has restaurants, bars, and a 40-foot steel sculpture. Toshiba Plaza starts setting up for the pregame show.
Toshiba Plaza pregame show
The Golden Knights' legendary outdoor pregame show begins, live music, pyrotechnics, video walls, and the Knight appearance. Don't miss it.
Enter the Fortress
Head inside T-Mobile Arena, the Fortress. The pregame hype continues inside with an NHL-best video and light show.
Game time
Three 20-minute periods in the loudest, most energetic arena in the NHL. Golden Knights fans are passionate and the atmosphere is electric.
Hit the concourse
Vegas-style nachos, BBQ brisket, and frozen cocktails, the concessions match the Strip's over-the-top energy.
The Strip awaits
The Las Vegas Strip is still going strong. Casinos, restaurants, nightclubs, and shows, the night is just beginning.
Tips & Fan Reports
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.
Free self-parking at most Strip casinos. Park at MGM Grand, Park MGM, or NYNY and walk through The Park to the arena.
If staying on the Strip, just walk. Most Strip hotels are within 15-20 minutes on foot.
The arena is climate-controlled but Vegas summer is brutal outside. Hydrate before and after the game.
The Toshiba Plaza pregame show is the best in the NHL. Arrive at least 1 hour before puck drop to see it.
T-Mobile Arena is ON the Strip - you can walk from your hotel. No car needed if you're staying on Las Vegas Blvd.
The Toshiba Plaza pregame show is the best in the NHL - medieval-themed with drums, fire, and projections. Arrive 1 hour early.
Weather
T-Mobile Arena is indoor, so these are the conditions for the parking lot and the walk in, not the seats.
Across the NHL season the warmest month is October, with an average high of 81°F, and the coldest is January, when the average low is 41°F. January is the wettest month at 0.6 inches and April the driest at 0.2 inches.
