Frequently Asked Questions

Super Bowl LXIII is scheduled for February 2029 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Super Bowls are traditionally held on the second Sunday of February. The NFL will confirm the exact date as the season approaches. Check back here for updates as the date is officially announced.

Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, located at 3333 Al Davis Way, Las Vegas, NV 89118. The stadium is situated at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, approximately 1.5 miles from Mandalay Bay.

Super Bowl tickets are among the hardest to obtain in sports. The main options are: (1) The NFL's official ticket lottery, which opens annually and gives the public a chance at face-value tickets; (2) NFL On Location premium packages at onlocation.com; (3) Allocations that go to the two participating teams' season ticket holders; (4) Secondary market sites like StubHub, SeatGeek, or TickPick. Expect secondary market prices to start at $7,000–$10,000+ for most seats.

Absolutely not — and honestly, many experienced Super Bowl travelers prefer the watch party experience in Vegas to sitting in a cold stadium. Every major casino runs huge watch party events with enormous screens. The NFL Experience at the convention center is open to the public. Concerts, sponsor activations, and unofficial parties fill the entire week. Vegas during Super Bowl week is an experience unto itself regardless of whether you have game tickets.

As early as possible — ideally now, using refundable rates. Many savvy travelers book rooms 12–24 months out with free cancellation and adjust later. Once the Super Bowl location is confirmed (which it already is for 2029), tour operators start locking up inventory. By the time teams are confirmed in January 2029, the best rooms on the Strip will be gone or priced at $1,500+/night.

Allegiant Stadium is approximately 1.5 miles from Mandalay Bay at the south end of the Strip. A rideshare from most Strip hotels takes 10–20 minutes in normal traffic, and up to 45 minutes on game days due to congestion. The stadium is not walkable from most Strip properties, though it is technically walkable from Mandalay Bay in about 20–25 minutes.

Yes, Allegiant Stadium has on-site parking for about 12,000 vehicles, but it sells out for major games. Game-day parking typically runs $40–$60 in the closest lots. Pre-purchase via the Raiders or Ticketmaster is strongly recommended. Many fans use rideshare to avoid parking hassles, though rideshare pickup and drop-off can be chaotic after games. Third-party lots in the surrounding area offer alternative parking for $20–$35.

Allegiant Stadium enforces a clear bag policy. Bags must be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC and no larger than 12"x6"x12", or a one-gallon clear zip-lock bag. Small clutch purses up to 4.5"x6.5" are also permitted. No outside food or beverages are allowed. The stadium is cashless — only credit/debit cards and mobile payments are accepted inside.

Allegiant Stadium has a fixed roof and climate control system, so interior temperature is managed regardless of outside weather. However, the 130,000 sq ft of operable windows can be opened on pleasant days. For Super Bowl season (February), outside temperatures in Las Vegas average highs in the upper 50s–low 60s, with cool nights. Pack a light jacket for evening games.

Harry Reid International Airport (airport code: LAS) is the primary airport serving Las Vegas. It's located about 5 miles from the Strip and receives direct flights from virtually every major US city. A second option for some travelers is the smaller Henderson Executive Airport (HND), which handles some private and charter operations.

Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is the most popular option: $15–$30 to most Strip hotels, 15–25 minutes. Taxis are available curbside at both terminals. Some off-Strip hotels offer complimentary shuttle service — check with your property. The RTC bus (Route 109) connects the airport to the Strip for $2 but can take 45+ minutes. During Super Bowl week, expect all options to take longer and cost more.

Generally, no — especially if you're staying on the Strip. Parking fees at Strip hotels ($20–$40/day) make car ownership expensive, and rideshare covers most needs efficiently. A rental car is worth considering if you plan to venture to Red Rock Canyon, Hoover Dam, or other attractions outside the city, or if you're staying at an off-Strip property with free parking and making day trips.

The Strip and major casino areas are heavily policed and generally safe for tourists. Like any major city, petty theft and scams exist — keep valuables secure, don't flash large amounts of cash, and use ATMs inside casinos rather than on the street. The Fremont Street Experience area (Downtown) is also well-patrolled but feels more gritty than the Strip. Standard urban travel precautions apply.

For a regular-season Raiders game, a solid 3-night trip from a major US city can range from $800–$2,500 per person depending on hotel quality, flight price, and spending habits. Super Bowl weekend is a different beast entirely: budget $3,000–$8,000+ per person for hotel, flight, food, entertainment, and watch party access if you don't have game tickets; $12,000–$25,000+ if you do.

Resort fees are mandatory daily charges added on top of hotel room rates at virtually all Strip hotels. They range from $30–$60 per night and typically cover amenities like WiFi, pool access, and fitness center use. You cannot avoid them at most Strip properties — they're mandatory. Always check the total nightly cost (room rate + resort fee + taxes) before booking. Some off-Strip properties have lower or no resort fees.

Yes — Raiders regular-season home games don't spike hotel prices as dramatically as Super Bowl or major events. Booking 4–8 weeks out usually yields reasonable rates. The best deals come from mid-week check-ins (Thursday or Friday), off-Strip properties, and using hotel loyalty points. Check Hotels.com, Expedia, and Booking.com simultaneously and compare the total cost with resort fees.
