Ticket advice and buying windows are event-specific — pick the one you are going to.
Getting there
- From the Strip: it's a 15–25 minute walk from the Luxor / Mandalay Bay end via the Hacienda Avenue pedestrian bridge over I-15. Comfortable pre-event; slow and crowded straight after the final whistle.
- Rideshare: dedicated pickup zones, but expect surge pricing and 30–60 min queues after big events. Walking back to a South Strip hotel is usually faster.
- From the UK: direct flights London–Las Vegas (10.5–11h). Land at LAS, you're 10 minutes from the stadium and 5 from the south Strip hotels.
- Game-day shuttles run from several Strip casinos for Raiders games — cheap and beat the rideshare crush.
Flying from the UK? Sort the ESTA first
British citizens travel to the US under the Visa Waiver Programme, which means no visa but a mandatory ESTA — an electronic travel authorisation you must hold before you board. Airlines will refuse boarding without one.
- Apply only at esta.cbp.dhs.gov — the official US Customs and Border Protection site. Dozens of copycat sites rank for “ESTA” and charge several times the government fee to type your details into the same form. There is no faster or better version; there is only the official one and resellers.
- Apply early, not at the airport. Most approvals come back in minutes, but CBP asks for at least 72 hours and a small share get referred for review. Do it when you book the flight, not the week you fly.
- It lasts two years, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first — so one application usually covers several trips. Check whether you already have a live one before paying again.
- An ESTA is permission to travel, not permission to enter. The decision is made by the officer at the border.
- Not everyone qualifies. Dual nationals of certain countries, anyone who has travelled to particular countries since 2011, and anyone with a prior visa refusal or certain convictions may need a full visa instead — which takes months, not minutes. Check before you book anything.
Fees and eligibility rules change, and the official site is the only place that is guaranteed current. We take no commission on any of this — there is none to take, which is rather the point.
Where to stay
Shared by every event in this building. Which tier is worth it changes with the event — a fight weekend and a Sunday league game price the same room very differently — but the geography does not.
Walkable big-box
Luxor or Excalibur
Cheapest rooms on the Strip that leave you a flat 20-minute walk over the bridge. Book the moment the event date is confirmed — south-Strip rates triple on fight and WrestleMania weekends.
Mid
MGM Grand or Park MGM
10 minutes further up, bigger pools, easy monorail/tram access, still walk-home distance if you don't mind 30 minutes.
Premium
Mandalay Bay / Delano
Closest full resort to the stadium — the bridge starts practically at its door. The Delano tower is the quiet option.
Make a trip of it
Sphere is 15 min up the road — book Sphere Experience slots ahead. Pool season Mar–Oct; Mandalay Bay's wave pool is the best on the south Strip.
