About T-Mobile Arena
About T-Mobile Arena
T-Mobile Arena is the home of the Vegas Golden Knights (NHL) and PWHL Las Vegas, located at 3780 South Las Vegas Boulevard on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Opened on April 6, 2016, with an inaugural concert by Las Vegas native band The Killers, the arena was developed as a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and AEG at a cost of $375 million with no public funding. Located on 16 acres between the New York-New York and Park MGM casino hotels, T-Mobile Arena is the only NHL arena situated directly on one of the world's most famous entertainment destinations. The arena was built before the NHL franchise was even awarded. The NHL announced the Vegas Golden Knights expansion on June 22, 2016 -- two and a half months after the arena opened. Bill Foley subsequently purchased a 15% stake in the arena. Before the franchise played a single game, 13,200 season ticket deposits had been placed, demonstrating Las Vegas's sports appetite. In the team's inaugural 2017-18 season, the Golden Knights reached the Stanley Cup Finals -- still the most remarkable expansion debut in any major North American professional sport, shaped partly by the city's collective healing following the October 2017 mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival that killed 60 people. On June 13, 2023, the Golden Knights won the franchise's first Stanley Cup Championship, defeating the Florida Panthers 4-1 in the Finals with a 9-3 series-clinching Game 5 at T-Mobile Arena. T-Mobile Arena holds LEED Gold Certification, featuring a 6,000-panel solar array and a water-recycling system saving over 2 million gallons annually. Its premium amenities include 44 luxury suites, 2 party suites, 8 event-level bunker suites, 24+ private loge boxes, two private clubs, and an upper deck nightclub accessible during and after events -- one of the most uniquely Las Vegas features of any sports venue in North America. The "Armory" team store is designed with dark woods, armoured mannequins, and hockey sticks as lances. The NHLPA voted T-Mobile Arena the toughest venue to play in as a visiting team for the 2023-24 season, earning "The Fortress" its formal recognition. The arena hosts 100+ events annually beyond hockey: UFC (official tenant since 2017, four events per year), boxing at 20,000-person capacity, the PBR Team Series Championship, the George Strait Las Vegas concert residency, the Academy of Country Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Festival, Latin Grammy Awards, and the NBA In-Season Tournament (renamed NBA Cup) finals. The Park -- an outdoor pedestrian entertainment district on the arena's east side connecting to New York-New York and Park MGM -- provides Las Vegas's most vibrant pre-game gathering space. Eataly Las Vegas (in adjacent Park MGM) and Best Friend (Roy Choi's Korean-American restaurant) are among the pre-game dining highlights. Walking The Strip to a Golden Knights game at The Fortress is one of professional sport's most distinctive arrival experiences.
Getting to T-Mobile Arena
Getting to the Stadium
Las Vegas Monorail & The Deuce Bus on the Strip
Las Vegas does not have a light rail network. The Las Vegas Monorail serves the east side of the Strip with stations at MGM Grand, Bally's/Paris, Flamingo/Caesars Palace, Harrah's/The LINQ, Las Vegas Convention Center, and Las Vegas Hilton. The closest monorail station to T-Mobile Arena is MGM Grand station, approximately a 10-minute walk west across the Strip. The Las Vegas Convention Authority's free autonomous circulator (Loop) serves the convention centre area. Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is approximately 5 miles (8km) from the arena by car or rideshare.
The Deuce (Strip Bus) & RTC Transit
The Deuce is an RTC (Regional Transportation Commission) double-decker bus that runs 24 hours on the Las Vegas Strip. The bus stops nearest to T-Mobile Arena serve the Strip corridor along Las Vegas Boulevard. From most Strip hotels, the Deuce is a viable and inexpensive transit option ($6 per 2-hour pass or $8 all-day). Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is the dominant non-driving option for most Golden Knights fans -- designated pickup/drop-off zones are on Giles Street west of the arena and in The Park entertainment district.

Las Vegas Strip traffic is always congested on event nights -- allow significantly extra time.
Walking The Strip -- The Ultimate Pre-Game Experience
T-Mobile Arena's location on the Las Vegas Strip means every Golden Knights game is preceded by one of the most extraordinary pre-game walking experiences in sport. The arena is flanked by The Park -- a dining and entertainment district between T-Mobile Arena and the adjacent casino hotels -- and has direct pedestrian connections from New York-New York and Park MGM. Walking from Strip hotels is the recommended approach. Fans staying at Caesars Palace, The Bellagio, or Aria are a 10--20 minute walk.

How did the Vegas Golden Knights reach the Stanley Cup Finals in their first season?Featured
The 2017-18 Vegas Golden Knights -- an expansion team in their debut NHL season -- reached the Stanley Cup Finals, losing to the Washington Capitals 4-1. No expansion team had ever come close to this achievement in any of the four major North American professional sports. The Golden Knights had assembled a roster from players left unprotected in the expansion draft, and combined exceptional team cohesion, a hostile home environment at The Fortress, and the backdrop of the October 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting (the city galvanised around the team) to produce one of the greatest expansion seasons in sports history.
