Las Vegas has three big venues that empty tens of thousands of people onto the street at once, and none of them is in the middle of the Strip. Allegiant Stadium is on the west side of Interstate 15, opposite Mandalay Bay. The Festival Grounds are at the north end, at Sahara Avenue. The Convention Center is a block east of the Strip on Paradise Road. Book the wrong end and a 20-minute walk becomes a 45-minute taxi line.
The hotels below are the ones guests on Hotels.com rate 8.8 or higher within a reasonable walk of each venue, checked on 10 November 2026.
Hotels near Allegiant Stadium
Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020 at 3333 Al Davis Way, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, with room for 65,000. It is on the west side of I-15, and the pedestrian bridge over the freeway starts at Hacienda Avenue, next to Mandalay Bay. The hotels on the south Strip are the ones to book.
W Las Vegas, 3940 Las Vegas Blvd South
W Las Vegas is the suite tower attached to Mandalay Bay, at the start of the walk to the Hacienda bridge, 15 to 20 minutes from the stadium gates. The rooms are suites with a separate living area, the pool is Mandalay Bay's, and the tower has its own entrance away from the main casino. Guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8 across more than 1,200 reviews. Dogs up to 50 pounds are allowed.
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas, 3960 Las Vegas Blvd S
The Four Seasons shares the Mandalay Bay tower with W but has no casino, its own pool and a quieter lobby, which is worth a lot on a game day. The walk to the stadium is the same 15 to 20 minutes over the Hacienda bridge. Guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.8, the highest in Las Vegas with more than 1,000 reviews. It is the most expensive hotel on this page.
New York-New York Hotel & Casino, 3790 Las Vegas Blvd S
New York-New York is the best-value hotel near the stadium with a rating over 8.8. The walk takes about 25 minutes via the Tropicana Avenue bridge and Hacienda Avenue, or take a short rideshare. It also sits next to T-Mobile Arena, so it works for a hockey game and a Raiders game in the same weekend. More than 15,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8.
Park MGM Las Vegas, 3770 Las Vegas Blvd S
Park MGM is next door to New York-New York, with a calmer casino and the Park promenade to T-Mobile Arena at the door. The stadium walk is about 25 minutes. More than 11,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.0.
Hotels near the Las Vegas Festival Grounds
The Las Vegas Festival Grounds cover 37 acres at the corner of Sahara Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, at the north end of the Strip. They host multi-day music festivals, so the hotels that matter are the ones you can walk back to at one in the morning.
SAHARA Las Vegas, 2535 Las Vegas Blvd S
The Sahara is directly across Sahara Avenue from the Festival Grounds, which makes it the obvious base. It was rebuilt in 2019 with three towers, a pool and free self-parking, and more than 26,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8. Pets are not allowed.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Boulevard
Fontainebleau is the newest resort on the Strip, opened in December 2023, and the Festival Grounds are about ten minutes on foot. Six pools, a two-floor spa and rooms that more than 19,000 guests on Hotels.com rate 9.4. Parking is valet only.
Hilton Grand Vacations Club on the Las Vegas Strip, 2650 Las Vegas Boulevard South
A suite tower with kitchens and two pools, ten minutes on foot from the Festival Grounds and cheaper than the resorts. Nearly 10,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.0. For a group sharing a two-bedroom suite over a festival weekend, it is the practical choice.
Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World, 111 Resorts World Avenue
Resorts World is 15 minutes on foot from the Festival Grounds, and the Conrad is its mid-tier tower with access to the 5.5-acre pool complex. More than 6,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.0. The Las Vegas Hilton in the same complex is the cheaper tower, rated 8.8.
Hotels near the Las Vegas Convention Center
The Las Vegas Convention Center at 3150 Paradise Road is the reason the city fills up in January, during CES, and again for the big trade shows through spring. The West Hall, opened in 2021, is connected to the older halls and to Resorts World by the Vegas Loop, the tunnel system with Tesla shuttles.
Courtyard by Marriott Las Vegas Convention Center, 3275 Paradise Rd
The Courtyard is across Paradise Road from the Convention Center, with no casino, no resort fee and rooms that more than 1,000 guests on Hotels.com rate 9.0. It is the hotel for anyone who wants to walk to the show floor in five minutes and sleep without a casino under the room. Pets are allowed.
Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World, 111 Resorts World Avenue
Resorts World has its own Vegas Loop station, so the ride to the Convention Center takes a few minutes without going outside. The Conrad is the tower with the best balance of rate and room, rated 9.0 by more than 6,000 guests on Hotels.com. Crockfords, the small luxury tower, is rated 9.2 and suits a boss who wants a quiet lounge.
Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World, 999 Resorts World Avenue
The Hilton is the largest Resorts World tower and the one most trade-show visitors book, with standard rooms, the same pool complex and the same Vegas Loop stop. More than 15,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8.
Wynn Las Vegas and Encore, 3131 Las Vegas Blvd S
Wynn and Encore are 15 minutes on foot from the Convention Center along Sands Avenue and Paradise Road, and both are rated 9.4 on Hotels.com. If the company is paying, this is where to stay. The rooms are the best within walking distance, and the restaurants mean you never need a taxi for a client dinner.
What Picolo chooses
What Picolo chooses: W Las Vegas for Allegiant Stadium, the Sahara for the Festival Grounds, and the Courtyard Convention Center for a trade show.
Why: W is the closest highly rated hotel to the Hacienda bridge, and the suites give a group room to spread out before a game. The Sahara is across the street from the Festival Grounds, with free parking. The Courtyard is five minutes from the show floor and has no resort fee.
The trade-off: W shares Mandalay Bay's casino crowds on game day. The Sahara's rating of 8.8 is the lowest on this page, and the north Strip is a long way from the center. The Courtyard has no casino and no spa, so it is a place to sleep rather than a resort.
Getting around on event days
The Hacienda Avenue bridge is the only pedestrian route over I-15 to Allegiant Stadium, and it gets crowded in the hour before kickoff. Leave 30 minutes earlier than the walking time suggests. The Festival Grounds have no parking of their own, so stay within walking distance or use the Sahara monorail station. For the Convention Center, the monorail stops at the main entrance and the Vegas Loop runs from Resorts World and the West Hall. Harry Reid International Airport is 15 to 20 minutes by car from all three venues outside rush hour.

Our recommendation
W Las Vegas: our first choice for Allegiant Stadium
W Las Vegas is Picolo's first choice for a game at Allegiant Stadium. The suite tower sits at the Mandalay Bay end of the Strip, where the Hacienda Avenue bridge crosses I-15 to the stadium, a walk of 15 to 20 minutes. The suites have a living area, the pool belongs to Mandalay Bay, and the tower has its own lobby away from the main casino. Guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8.
Frequently asked questions about hotels near Las Vegas venues
Which hotel is closest to Allegiant Stadium?
The Mandalay Bay complex, which includes W Las Vegas and the Four Seasons, is the closest, 15 to 20 minutes on foot over the Hacienda Avenue bridge across I-15. Luxor and Excalibur are a few minutes further. New York-New York and Park MGM are about 25 minutes or a short rideshare.
Can you walk to Allegiant Stadium from the Strip?
Yes, from the south Strip. The Hacienda Avenue pedestrian bridge next to Mandalay Bay crosses I-15 to the stadium, a walk of 15 to 25 minutes from the hotels between Mandalay Bay and Park MGM. From the central Strip it is an hour, so take the Deuce bus or a rideshare to Hacienda Avenue.
Where should I stay for a festival at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds?
Stay at the north end of the Strip. The Sahara is directly across Sahara Avenue, Fontainebleau and Hilton Grand Vacations Club are about ten minutes on foot, and Resorts World 15. All four are rated 8.8 or higher on Hotels.com. Hotels in the center of the Strip are a 40-minute walk away.
Which hotels are connected to the Las Vegas Convention Center?
Resorts World is connected by the Vegas Loop, the tunnel shuttle that runs to the West Hall and the main halls. The Courtyard by Marriott across Paradise Road is a five-minute walk. Wynn and Encore are 15 minutes on foot along Sands Avenue.
How far is Allegiant Stadium from the airport?
Harry Reid International Airport is about 3 miles from Allegiant Stadium, a ten-minute drive outside game-day traffic. The south Strip hotels in this guide, W Las Vegas, Four Seasons, New York-New York and Park MGM, are all 10 to 15 minutes from the terminals.
Is there parking at Allegiant Stadium?
Yes, but it is limited and sold in advance for games and concerts, and the lots fill early. Most visitors park at a south Strip hotel and walk over the Hacienda Avenue bridge or take a rideshare to the drop-off zone. If you stay at W Las Vegas or the Four Seasons, you can leave the car at the hotel.
Where do you stay for CES in Las Vegas?
Close to the Convention Center on Paradise Road, where the Courtyard by Marriott is a five-minute walk, or at Resorts World, which connects by the Vegas Loop. Wynn and Encore are 15 minutes on foot and the best hotels within walking distance. Book early: CES fills the city in the first week of January.
