Ticket advice and buying windows are event-specific — pick the one you are going to.
Getting there
- It sits at the end of The Park promenade between New York-New York and Park MGM — a 5-minute walk off the Strip. No bridge, no drama.
- From anywhere on the center Strip you can walk; from downtown or off-Strip, rideshare to the NYNY valet side and walk through.
- Monorail riders: MGM Grand station, then a 15-minute walk via the Strip crossing at Tropicana.
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.
On top of it
Park MGM or New York-New York
You are literally 300 metres from the door. Fight nights end late — being able to walk straight up to your room is worth more than any upgrade.
Mid
Aria or Cosmopolitan
10–15 min walk via CityCenter, better pools and rooms, still no transport needed.
Value
Excalibur
Cross the Tropicana bridge and you're there in 12 minutes; rooms often half the price of anything closer.
Make a trip of it
The Park's restaurants handle pre-fight food better than the casino floors. Toshiba Plaza fills with fight-week fan events — free and worth an hour.
