Allegiant Stadium parking, explained by a 24-year local: which lot to book, when to show up, and when to leave the car at the hotel.
Book a lot ahead on SpotHero, or don’t drive at all.
Official lots are sold in advance, and paying at the gate only works if spaces are left. On a big Raiders Sunday, that’s not a plan.
Reserve an Official Lot
SpotHero is the stadium’s official parking partner. Your pass loads on your phone with your lot and entry gate.

From Mandalay Bay or Luxor, the bridge is pedestrian-only on Raiders game days. About 10–15 minutes to the gate.

Uber and Lyft use 5285 Dean Martin Dr. After the game, Mandalay Bay and Luxor pickups are often faster.
Rideshare detailsAllegiant Stadium is less than three miles from the airport and right behind Mandalay Bay, close enough to see from plenty of south Strip hotel rooms. That closeness fools people. On game day, the streets around it switch to one-way, the bridge closes to cars, and drivers who “figure it out when they get there” spend the first quarter in traffic.
The good news is that parking here follows a few firm rules. Know them before you leave, and the day goes smoothly.
How Allegiant Stadium Parking Works: Buy Ahead, Pay by Card
SpotHero is the stadium’s official parking partner, and single-game passes for the official lots are sold there in advance. Paying on arrival depends on what’s left, and the stadium itself strongly recommends buying ahead.
Once you have a pass, a few rules surprise first-timers:
- Your pass is for one lot and one entry gate. Enter anywhere else and staff will redirect you. Inside, attendants direct you to a specific space.
- There’s no re-entry. Leave the lot and your pass is done for the day.
- It’s all cashless. Parking, food and merchandise take cards and mobile wallets only.
- Everyone in the car needs an event ticket to park on site.
- No saving spaces. Each space needs a car and a valid pass, including ADA spaces.
- No overnight parking before game day, and all lots are cleared one hour after the event ends.
Two parking sellers, two systems: Some nearby lots are run by MGM Resorts and sold through ParkMobile, not by the stadium or the Raiders. Read the listing carefully so you know whose rules and refund policy you’re buying into.
Pricing moves with demand. Official lots cost noticeably more than a typical Strip garage, and division games and big concerts push prices higher still. The earlier you book, the more lots you have to choose from.
Pick Your Plan: The Best Move From Where You’re Starting
The best parking plan depends less on the lot and more on where you’re coming from. Here’s how I’d handle it from each part of town.
| Starting From | Best Move |
|---|---|
| South Strip Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur | Don’t drive. Walk. Cross the Hacienda Bridge on foot and skip parking and post-game traffic entirely. |
| Mid or North Strip | Take the Deuce, then walk. An $8 24-hour pass gets you to the Mandalay Bay stop near the bridge and back. |
| Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas | Ride the Game Day Express. $4 round trip from Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe Station, Sam’s Town, Aliante or the M Resort. |
| Driving in from out of town | Book an official lot before you leave home and save the stadium’s one-way directional map. Your game-day route may not match your GPS. |
| Tailgating with friends | Buy passes in the same tailgate lot and arrive together. Staff fill spaces in order, so lining up together is the only way to park side by side. |
| Guests with disabilities | You still need a parking pass. A placard alone doesn’t get you into stadium lots. For drop-off, use Lot B near Gate 2. |
Raiders Game-Day Timeline: When Lots Open and Close
Every Raiders home game follows the same pattern, counted back from kickoff.
| When | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 5 hours before kickoff | Cars may line up in the curb lane, space permitting |
| 4 hours before kickoff | Parking lots open and tailgating begins |
| 2.5 hours before kickoff | First Game Day Express buses leave the casinos |
| 2 hours before kickoff | Stadium gates typically open |
| 1 hour before kickoff | Last Game Day Express bus to the stadium |
| Kickoff | Tailgates must be packed up |
| ~30 minutes after the game | Game Day Express return buses begin |
| 1 hour after the game | All lots are cleared |
UNLV football uses the same four-hour lot opening. For concerts and other events, check the event’s page on the Allegiant Stadium site.
Tailgating Lots: Where It’s Allowed and the Rules Enforced
Tailgating is allowed in about 6,000 spaces, but not in every lot. Check the lot details before you buy if tailgating is part of the plan.
| Type | Lots |
|---|---|
| Onsite | A, B, C, E, F, G, H and J |
| Offsite | S, V, W, X and the Dewey Lot |
- Stay in your space. Setups can run from the back of your vehicle to the red painted emergency line, and no farther.
- Tailgating ends when the game starts. There’s no halftime or post-game tailgating.
- Keep the music reasonable. Loud systems and explicit lyrics can get shut down.
- No selling and no signage. Vehicles with exterior advertising can be turned away even with a valid pass.
- Use the charcoal bins. Charcoal-only bins and portable restrooms are spread through the lots.
Local tip: The tailgate ends at kickoff, but the lot doesn’t empty until an hour after the final whistle. Pack light enough to break down in five minutes.
The Hacienda Bridge: What Locals Actually Do
The stadium itself calls the Hacienda Bridge the best way to walk in. On Raiders game days and select events, it closes to cars and opens to pedestrians only, with staff managing the crowd before and after.
The whole path from Las Vegas Boulevard is under a mile. The bridge is 0.3 miles from its east end to the stadium gate, about a 10 to 15 minute walk. Add a few minutes to get through the casino.
If you’re staying at Mandalay Bay or Luxor, this is the obvious choice. If you’re driving in and want to park at one of those resorts instead, check the garage’s event-day rate before you count on it. If you have MGM Rewards tier status, confirm your parking benefit applies that day.
Note: The bridge only goes car-free on Raiders game days and select events. For smaller events, expect to share it with traffic and use the sidewalk.
Rideshare, Taxis and Drop-Off: Three Different Zones
| Who | Where |
|---|---|
| Uber & Lyft | Front half of Lot N, 5285 Dean Martin Dr (traffic flows southbound) |
| Extra rideshare | Mandalay Bay and Luxor, on foot over the Hacienda Bridge |
| Taxis & general drop-off | Diablo Dr & Procyon St, west of the stadium, with a walking path to the southwest entry |
| ADA drop-off | Lot B near Gate 2 |
Leaving After the Game: The Part Nobody Plans
Getting in is spread across four hours. Getting out happens all at once. This is where a good parking plan pays off.
- Walkers win. If you came over the bridge, you’re back in a casino before most drivers reach their car.
- Rideshare is faster from the resorts. Lot N gets crowded and surge pricing is normal. Walk to Mandalay Bay or Luxor and request your ride there.
- Drivers, plan the exit too. Streets around the stadium run one-way on game days, so check the directional map before you pick a lot.
- Bus riders, head out about 30 minutes after the game. That’s when return trips begin.
- Checked a bag? Bag check closes one hour after the event.
EV Charging, Oversized Vehicles and ADA Parking
EV charging: Blink chargers are in Lots A, D and F. On event days you need a pass for one of those lots, and chargers are first come, first served. Leaving mid-game to move your car means no re-entry.
RVs and trailers: Vehicles longer than 20 feet and trailers aren’t allowed in stadium lots. Park elsewhere and come in by rideshare or the Deuce.
ADA parking: Accessible spaces need both a valid parking pass and an ADA placard or plate. If they’re full, you’ll be offered the next available space. For other accommodations, email guestexperience@raiders.com.
Bags: Clear bags only, up to 12″ x 6″ x 12″, plus a small clutch. Bag check is $20 per bag and non-refundable. Our Allegiant Stadium bag policy guide has the full list and bag-check locations.
Don’t Get Turned Away at the Gate
Lots closest to the stadium go first for division games and big concerts. Reserving ahead gets you more choices and a guaranteed space.
