Show night at Allegiant Stadium, Paradise, Nevada. Not sure which time on the ticket matters? The concert night plan covers doors, opener and headliner at any venue.
The time on the ticket is when the first act is due on. Seating here is reserved, so nobody is racing for a spot; the deadline really is the show. Aim to be in your seat ten minutes before the first act, and budget the walk to your row: it is the part people misjudge, not the drive.
Most stadium tours also sell a general-admission floor or pit, and that ticket is a different evening: the queue for a place at the rail forms outside long before the lots open. The plan here is for a numbered seat.
Here is the evening drawn to scale. A maps app can number the drive. The rest is the walk in from the lot, the bag check, and the walk to your row.
Front door to your seat: 1hr 55min
Nothing about a Las Vegas show night is a normal drive. Rideshare surges, the Strip does not move, and the pedestrian bridges carry everyone walking over. No rail reaches the stadium; the monorail gets as close as MGM Grand. If you are staying on the Strip the walk is the predictable option and the ride is the gamble, and the same is true in reverse at the end of the night.
On-site parking is bought in advance and paying on arrival depends on what is left, so a lot of people park at a Strip resort and walk over the pedestrian bridge across I-15 instead. Lots and doors are published per show on the event page rather than as a stadium-wide rule, and they move a good deal from one show to the next, so the event page for your night is worth opening before you go.
An on-site pass is the short walk and has to be bought well ahead. The resort walk is the fallback and the bridge is the bottleneck: it is fine on the way in and slow on the way out, when the whole crowd crosses at once. Rideshare surges hard after a show here, so the walk is often the faster of the two.
The stadium is fully enclosed and air-conditioned, which in Nevada is the whole point, but the walk over is outdoors and in summer that is the part to plan for. Bags must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and no bigger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, with small clutches, purses and wallets up to 4.5 by 6.5 by 2 allowed. It is a no re-entry building: once you leave, the ticket will not scan again.
Doors, lots and bag rules change; the official site is the live source.
The plan's floor is the gate thirty-five minutes before the show: screening, the walk to your section, and a few minutes in the seat. Your seat is reserved, so nothing is lost by not being there the moment the gates open. The walk from the lot depends on which lot you got.
About 5:20 PM from Las Vegas with a 20-minute drive and a spot in a resort garage on the Strip side. Later for one of the on-site lots. Every row above is editable; the first travel row is your leave-by time.
Parking is bought in advance and paying at the gate depends on availability, and the opening time is published per show on the event page. Parking at a Strip resort and walking across the I-15 pedestrian bridge is the common alternative, though the pedestrian-only closure applies to game days and selected events rather than every night. The official Allegiant Stadium site has the current lots.
About ten minutes from an on-site lot. Allow twenty-five from a resort garage on the Strip side, including the bridge over I-15, and more on the way back when everyone crosses together. The plan's default for a resort garage on the Strip side is 25 minutes, and it is editable.
No rail reaches the stadium. The monorail's closest stop is MGM Grand and you walk from there, and RTC runs event buses from a number of resorts. Otherwise it is the walk over the pedestrian bridge or a rideshare that surges before and after.
Clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, plus small clutches, purses or wallets up to 4.5 by 6.5 by 2. Once you are inside there is no re-entry, so anything left in the car stays in the car.
Going to a game instead? The stadium pages. Flying in? The airport pages.
Start the plan in the app, and the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the time left, with a bar that fills as each step passes.
Glance at it on the walk in without opening the app.
Every step also gets its own alert, and sharing the plan gives whoever is driving the same leave time, with alerts on their phone.
