How to get to T-Mobile Arena

Option 1: Public Transportation:

www.lvmonorail.com

The monorail isn't great and it's a little expensive, but if you hate renting cars and aren't staying at a hotel in the South Strip Area, it's an option. T-MA is located behind the New York New York Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas Blvd between Tropicana Avenue and Park Avenue, so the best option is to exit the monorail at the MGM Grand Station and walk to T-MA.

If you're in town, but not on The Strip and (somehow) without a car/don't want to pay for parking, the RTC has special gameday routes pre- and post-game to T-Mobile Arena on RTC Routes:

605 Summerlin Golden Knights Express
606 Henderson Golden Knights Express
607 Centennial Hills Golden Knights Express
608 Southwest Golden Knights Express


The fare is $2.00 each way, and from what I've heard is actually a pretty good ride.

Option 2: Drive to T-Mobile Arena
Getting to T-MA is easy, parking is also pretty easy, if you know what you're doing. There are five VGK approved parking garages around the arena.

Parking is expensive, so plan on $25 for day of game parking. Paid in advance parking is also available at a discount from ParkMobile. Parkmobile|Parking Made Simple

Option 3: Rideshare.

Ridesharing services such as Uber will drop off/pick up at Excalibur (E) across Tropicana from T-Mobile Arena. The route to get from the arena to the pickup location is well marked and will take you under Tropicana via Frank Sinatra Drive.

Okay, you're at T-Mobile Arena, what now?

Well, you watch the Knights win. :laugh:


Check out the T-MA Site for Food Options inside the arena: Arena Dining | T-Mobile Arena
Or save a couple dollars (perhaps) and eat in The Park: The Park - Outdoor Dining, Shopping & Entertainment on the Las Vegas Strip

Day of Game (Hockey Related) Activities:

Morning Skate:
The Golden Knights will usually have morning skate at City National Arena in Summerlin.

City National Arena is located at: 1550 S Pavilion Center Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89135

Practices are generally open to the public, free of charge, and pretty fun. It's a little bit of a trek from most of the touristy areas, but it's probably worth a trip if you're making it a hockey-centric vacation. MacKenzie River Pizza is a restaurant located between the two sheets of ice at City National and have a full menu and full bar available.

Pre-Game:
The March to T-Mobile Arena starts in front of the New York New York near the Brooklyn Bridge and begins around 15 minutes prior to the doors opening at T-Mobile Arena. The Knight Line, Ice Crew, and occasionally radio/TV personalities and other team officials will join the march. Kind of fun to watch, especially since the path to the front doors is usually filled with drunk visiting fans.

No, Lyft and Uber can not drop off at arena (change from start of season). Pick up and drop off is at North Excalibur parking lot.

If driving to the arena, avoid trying to enter the Park/Monte Carlo from the Strip entrance. Its total gridlock before games with clueless tourists and many taxis, walking is faster. If you are driving to an arena parking lot with a prepaid pass take Frank Sinatra Dr, not the Strip.
