T-Mobile Arena

Reviewed by the Las Vegas Guide editorial team · Updated July 2026

The Strip's 20,000-seat flagship arena — home of the Golden Knights and, from 2026–27, PWHL Las Vegas — plus UFC, title fights and stadium-scale concerts behind The Park.

T-Mobile Arena: Event & Visitor Guide

T-Mobile Arena is the Strip's flagship indoor venue — a 20,000-capacity building (17,500 for hockey) that opened in April 2016 just west of the Strip, reached on foot through The Park promenade between New York-New York and Park MGM. The NHL's Vegas Golden Knights anchor it, joined from the 2026–27 season by PWHL Las Vegas, the city's new professional women's hockey team — plus UFC's biggest cards, championship boxing, the iHeartRadio Music Festival and arena tours all year. Tickets are strictly per-event, and prices swing from mid-week concert money to Canelo-fight money.

Practicalities decide how good your night is. The arena has no garage of its own — park at Park MGM, New York-New York or ARIA (roughly $15–30 on event nights, more for Knights games; pre-booking via parking apps runs cheaper) or take the Monorail to MGM Grand and walk seven minutes through The Park. Security is real: bags over 9×5×2 inches are turned away, and the no-re-entry rule is enforced without mercy. There's no daytime walk-in or public tour — without an event ticket, the closest you'll get is the (genuinely pleasant) walk past Bliss Dance to the doors.

Insider tipSkip the garages entirely on hockey nights — the $2 VGK Express buses run from across the valley straight to the doors, and you'll clear the postgame crush while the garage queue is still crawling.

Frequently asked questions

Does T-Mobile Arena have its own parking?

No — reserved event parking sells at the Park MGM, New York-New York and ARIA garages, typically $15–30 and higher on Golden Knights nights. Pre-booking through parking apps usually beats gate rates, and the ~$2 VGK Express buses cover hockey nights.

Who plays at T-Mobile Arena?

The Vegas Golden Knights have anchored it since 2017, and PWHL Las Vegas — the women's professional hockey expansion announced in May 2026 — debuts its home games here in the 2026–27 season. UFC runs multiple cards a year, and major boxing, concerts and awards shows fill the rest of the calendar.

What's the bag policy?

Bags can't exceed 9×5×2 inches — they don't need to be clear, but backpacks and anything larger get refused at the gate. Bag check opens with the doors and closes 45 minutes post-event, and once you exit the arena you can't re-enter.

Can you tour the arena without an event ticket?

No — there's no standing public tour and no daytime walk-in access. The building opens for ticketed events only, so pick an event rather than planning a visit to the venue itself.

How do you get there from the Strip?

It sits just behind New York-New York and Park MGM — the natural approach is the walk through The Park promenade, also easy on foot from ARIA and Excalibur. From the Monorail, get off at MGM Grand and walk about seven minutes.

How big is it and when did it open?

Opened April 6, 2016; holds up to 20,000 for boxing and UFC, around 17,500 configured for hockey. It's owned by an AEG–MGM joint venture and operated by MGM Resorts.
