History of the stadium


Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas

Construction of Allegiant Stadium began in 2017 and was completed in 2020 and it is now one of the most modern multi-purpose stadiums for large events in the United States. Located on Al Davis Way, the stadium runs parallel to the imposing Las Vegas boulevard, also known as the Strip, where the largest and most famous casinos are located. It is home to the Las Vegas Raiders, of the National Football League (NFL), and the UNLV Rebels, the American football team for the University of Las Vegas. The Stadium can hold up to 65,000 spectators. It hosted Super Bowl LVIII in early 2024, hosted friendly matches for European clubs such as Barcelona, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, and is often used for U.S. national soccer team matches.


Fun fact: with more than 28,000 tons of steel in its composition, Allegiant Stadium is heavier than the famous Statue of Liberty (and its 305 feet high).




Transportation


Airport: Harry Reid International Airport is Las Vegas' main commercial aviation airport and is located about 5 miles (7.4 km) from Allegiant Stadium, the same distance from major hotels on the Strip.

Public Transportation: Las Vegas is served by the Regional Transportation Commission, responsible for the famous “the Deuce” bus that runs the entire length of the Strip. In addition, the Las Vegas Monorail is another higher-speed option available to both residents and tourists.

About Las Vegas


An oasis of light and grand buildings in the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas has become synonymous with American culture around the world. It is considered something of an entertainment paradise, especially for adults, with its famous hotels and casinos, shows presented day and night, and unmissable restaurants by some of the country's and the world's greatest chefs.


The hot, dry weather can scare off first-time visitors, but Las Vegas has managed to apply state-of-the-art technology so tourists can enjoy its attractions in comfort, from sprinklers that increase moisture in the air on the streets, to a sophisticated transportation system that operates on the Strip, in the heart of the city.


Las Vegas is also home to major sports teams, including the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces, and the National Hockey League's (NHL) Las Vegas Knights.


Some notable tourist attractions include:



The Las Vegas Aces are playing WNBA regular season games during 2024™ CONMEBOL Copa America, and they are a potential attraction for those interested in their games in Nevada.
