Raiders Game-Day Strategy

Allegiant Parking Runs Through SpotHero, and the Strip Walk Is Free

For the October 4 Chiefs game, parking near Allegiant Stadium ran $12 to $75 on SpotHero when checked October 1, depending on the walk. The stadium sells passes for its official lots through SpotHero and says paying on arrival depends on availability; it is cashless. The lowest official prices on the stadium's map are Lot Z at $40 and Lot T at $45 per event; the close-in Lots A, C and G are $100. Tailgating is permitted in 8 specific lots (A, B, C, E, F, G, H, J) with a combined 6,000 tailgating-approved spaces.

The sharpest move if you're staying on the Strip: walk. A pedestrian bridge connects Mandalay Bay directly to the stadium complex — 10-15 minutes from Mandalay Bay or Luxor.

Capacity: 65,000 Address: 3333 Al Davis Way Tailgating: 8 lots, ~6,000 spaces

Bottom Line

Best close-in: Lots A, B, C, G.
Best exit value: Lot N (Hacienda-side).
Lowest official prices: Lot Z ($40) and Lot T ($45).
Best Strip move: walk from Mandalay Bay.

Buy official lot passes in advance on SpotHero. The stadium says paying on arrival depends on availability, and it's cashless.
Tailgating is lot-specific: only Lots A, B, C, E, F, G, H, J (6,000 tailgate-approved spaces).
Mandalay Bay pedestrian bridge is free and fast. 10-15 min walk from Mandalay Bay or Luxor — often beats paying for stadium parking entirely.

Allegiant Stadium Parking Options at a Glance

Official prices per event, from the stadium's parking map, read October 2, 2026. The map says prices and availability are subject to change and day-of-event parking may not be available.

How the Allegiant Lot System Actually Works

Three rules that catch first-time visitors:

Official lot passes are sold through SpotHero. The stadium strongly encourages buying in advance and says paying on arrival depends on availability; buy a pass in the SpotHero app or on the stadium's SpotHero page, then show it at the lot gate.
Lots vary massively in walk distance, not just price. Lot V is at the south-west edge, far from the main gate. Lots A/B/C are essentially attached to the stadium.
Tailgating is lot-specific. You cannot show up to a random official lot with a grill. Tailgating is permitted in Lots A, B, C, E, F, G, H, and J only, together holding approximately 6,000 tailgating-approved spaces.

The Mandalay Bay Pedestrian Bridge Is the Best-Kept Secret

Allegiant Stadium sits directly across I-15 from Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and MGM Grand. For fans staying on the Strip, walking across the dedicated Mandalay Bay pedestrian bridge can beat the official lots on both price and post-event convenience:

Luxor or Mandalay Bay self-park: sold by MGM, not the stadium. For the Chiefs game, SpotHero listed these garages from $35 on October 1, before fees.
Walk time: 10-15 minutes from Mandalay Bay, 20-25 from MGM Grand.
Without a car: rideshare drops off and picks up in Lot N, north of the stadium; walk in from Las Vegas Boulevard over the Hacienda Bridge; or take the RTC Deuce ($8 for 24 hours), whose nearest stop is by the Hacienda Bridge at Mandalay Bay.
Free option for Strip guests: If you're already staying at a Strip hotel, walking is free. Zero parking cost, zero post-event traffic.

The gotcha: MGM Resorts parking rates spike on event days and may be a different price from their normal daily rate. Check the MGM parking portal for your specific date before assuming the hotel is cheaper.

Tailgating at Allegiant Stadium

The Raiders lean into tailgating culture — 6,000 dedicated tailgating spaces across 8 lots. Rules to know:

Tailgating lots: A, B, C, E, F, G, H, J only. Other lots are "parked vehicles only."
Lot open times: four hours before kickoff for Raiders games, per the stadium.
Grills allowed (propane and charcoal); extinguish before kickoff.
No glass containers.
Canopies and tents typically allowed up to 10x10 in tailgating lots.

Post-Event Exit: Hacienda vs. Russell vs. I-15

Las Vegas traffic around Allegiant Stadium on a sold-out game is notoriously slow. I-15 ramps bottleneck for 35-45 minutes post-event on Raiders sellouts. What works:

Heading north (Downtown LV, Henderson north): Exit via Hacienda Ave → Las Vegas Blvd north. Bypasses the I-15 south→north transition. Lot N, G, and Strip-hotel parkers have the shortest path.
Heading south (airport, Henderson south, CA): Russell Rd west → I-15 south. Lots V and the south side are positioned for this exit.
Heading to the Strip: Walk. Mandalay Bay pedestrian bridge is the single fastest way across I-15 from the stadium.
Best wait-it-out move: Strip hotels. Grab a drink at Topgolf, Mandalay Bay, or Allegiant Stadium's own concessions for 30-45 minutes.

Is Driving to Allegiant Stadium Wrong for Your Trip?

Skip driving if:

You're staying at Mandalay Bay or Luxor. Walk across the pedestrian bridge. Zero parking cost, zero traffic.
You're planning to drink through the game. No re-entry, designated-driver laws, Las Vegas DUI enforcement.
You want to tailgate but didn't book. Non-tailgating lots = no grill. Delay the tailgate to a Strip sports book.
It's a sold-out megatour concert. The stadium recommends buying parking ahead and says day-of-event parking may not be available.
