| - Depending on the configuration, our newest-to-the-block arena seats 17,000-20,000 people. I've seen several shows here now, so here are a few areas to think about:
Parking-
Two options that I've used are Uber/Lyft or pay for parking. I prefer the 1st for convenience but also like parking at the Aria if it's a big show because there's a straight shot through the Monte Carlo out to The Park promenade in front of the arena. Just follow the signs thru the hotels. They've made it quite easy to find your way through the shortcut. It's maybe a 10 minute walk if you are walking slow. Parking at the NYNY hotel is also good if there are available spots. Plan on paying $10+ for parking generally.
PreShow-
Check out The Park area for some convenient pre-show restaurants just a minute's walk away from the arena & often times for large shows, there are food/drink trucks & live entertainment in the promenade prior to the show. If you can get there early- enjoy good parking & pre-show fun the arena & The Park has to offer.
Seating-
There's not a bad seat in the house really. I've sat high, low, suite etc... you won't be unhappy with your seats, but of course paying more for the lower bowl seats will pay off. (There's also a binocular station on the main concourse) I do recommend sitting in the Bud Light lounge area when possible because of their dedicated bar & their "gourmet" food (charcuterie, beer soaked brats). The lines are also faster here, but not always so in the other F&B areas throughout the arena.
Phone Charging:
There are several phone charging stations located along the main concourse; they come in handy in a pinch when you need extra juice to record your experience!
Two opinions of caution- when sitting in the 200 level, although there's not a bad seat, due to design I get crazy vertigo in the top seats because of the steep steps. I also recommend arriving earlier than you think you should, because of parking limitations & the building's security/ticketing checks, the entrance lines can be slow going - consider the time you think you should leave and add a half hour, just in case. Then it's easy to sit back & enjoy the show!
