Venue Overview
Allegiant Stadium is a 65,000-seat enclosed stadium on the Las Vegas Strip’s southern end. Opened in 2020, it is home to the Las Vegas Raiders and UNLV football and also serves as a major concert and entertainment venue.
The stadium sits at 3333 Al Davis Way, just west of Interstate 15 and across from Mandalay Bay. Its dark exterior has earned it the nickname “Death Star,” while the enclosed design allows concerts and other large events to take place without exposure to Las Vegas heat, wind or rain.
A translucent ETFE roof brings natural light into the building while keeping the main seating bowl enclosed and climate controlled. The stadium also has large operable doors on the north end that can open toward the Strip.
Concert Experience
A concert at Allegiant Stadium has the scale of a major stadium show but takes place in a controlled indoor environment.
- Climate: The enclosed building protects attendees from Las Vegas’ extreme outdoor temperatures.
- Sightlines: The multi-level bowl provides elevated views toward the field, while large video displays help fans farther from the stage follow the performance.
- Sound: Concert audio depends heavily on the touring production, speaker placement and seating location. The enclosed bowl can produce a different acoustic experience from an outdoor stadium.
- Crowd movement: Wide concourses, escalators, stairs and elevators connect the seating levels. Large events can create congestion around entrances and exits, particularly immediately before and after the show.
Seating & Seat Selection
Allegiant Stadium uses several seating levels, while the field can be converted for different concert configurations.
Floor
The field may contain general admission standing areas, a GA pit or reserved seating, depending on the tour. Floor seats provide the closest access to the stage, but standing areas can have variable sightlines depending on crowd height and your position.
100-Level
The 100-level is the lower bowl surrounding the field. These seats provide a closer perspective than the upper levels without requiring fans to stand on the floor.
For concerts, sections toward the center and sides of the stage can offer strong views, but the best location depends on where the production places the stage.
200-Level
The 200-level includes club and premium seating. Allegiant Stadium’s premium inventory includes Club, Suite and Loge sections, with some locations offering dedicated entrances and concierge service.
300-Level
The 300-level sits above the club areas and provides a more elevated perspective. It can be a reasonable middle-ground option for fans who want a stadium view without paying lower-bowl prices.
400-Level
The 400-level is the highest seating tier. These sections are farther from the stage but provide an elevated view of large-scale lighting, screens and the overall production.
Seat Recommendations
| Preference | Seating to Consider |
|---|---|
| Closest to performer | Floor or lower 100-level |
| Balanced view | Center 100-level |
| Premium comfort | 200-level club or premium seating |
| Wider production view | 300-level |
| Budget option | 300- or 400-level |
There is no universally “best” section. Always check the concert-specific seating chart because stage placement can substantially change the available views.
Capacity
Allegiant Stadium has a standard capacity of approximately 65,000. Concert capacity is not a fixed number because the stage, floor seating, production equipment, and general admission areas can change the available space.
For this reason, claims that every concert can accommodate 70,000 or more should be avoided unless the specific event configuration supports that number.
Concerts & Events
Allegiant Stadium hosts a broad range of large-scale events, including:
- Stadium concert tours
- NFL football
- UNLV football
- International soccer
- Combat sports
- Special entertainment events
- Large corporate and private events
Its enclosed design makes it particularly useful for major productions that require substantial lighting, video, audio, and stage equipment.
Sound & Production
The stadium is built to accommodate large touring productions, including extensive lighting rigs, video screens, and line-array speaker systems.
Because Allegiant Stadium is much larger than a conventional arena, sound can vary according to seating position and the production’s speaker configuration. Fans sitting farther from the stage will also rely more heavily on the stadium’s video displays.
Accessibility
Allegiant Stadium provides accessible seating throughout the venue, with companion seating available next to accessible locations. All stadium gates are ADA accessible.
The stadium also provides accessible parking, ADA drop-off areas, elevators and courtesy shuttle assistance at designated locations. Guests who need specific accommodations can contact the stadium’s Guest Experience department before the event.

- Walking: Hacienda Bridge is the main pedestrian route from the Strip. It can be closed to automobile traffic around select large events, allowing fans to walk between Mandalay Bay and the stadium.

Best Time to Arrive

Large concerts can create heavier traffic and pedestrian congestion, so arriving earlier is sensible if you are unfamiliar with the area.
