Sports Fans Stay in the Heart of the Action at MGM Resorts in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is no stranger to tourists seeking world-class entertainment, but this premier destination is quickly becoming an epicenter for the most exciting names in sports. Whether your client fancies hoops, pucks or engines, Vegas is the destination for sports fans. MGM Resorts has a room or hotel package just steps away from gametime at one of its many stadium or arena-adjacent resorts. In addition to BetMGM Sportsbook locations, some of MGM Resorts’ Las Vegas properties even offer cabana rentals so clients have the option to relax and watch the game poolside if they choose to cheer their team on while sunbathing (this is vacation, after all).

From football’s biggest night to the global phenomenon of Formula 1 racing, these are just some of the events available to book along with a stay at an MGM Resort in the coming year.

Witness the Formula 1® Grand Prix from the Bellagio Fountain Club

For the first time since 1982, F1® Racing is returning to The Strip. The Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023 takes over downtown Vegas with high-speed thrills November 16-18. Committed fans can opt to book ticket packages with an MGM Resorts hotel stay. Among these is a three-day ticket to the Bellagio Fountain Club with unimpeded views of both the track as well as Bellagio’s famous fountains.

VIP tickets grant you access to indoor and rooftop hospitality decks with an unlimited menu curated by top celebrity chefs and including premium spirits, as well as exclusive entertainment and meet and greets with F1® ambassadors. The Grand Prix will be broadcast at all of MGM Resort’s Las Vegas properties courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook, with each hotel hosting special events to celebrate the race throughout the weekend.

Walk to Allegiant Stadium, Host of Super Bowl 2024

The Big Game will be held in Nevada at Allegiant Stadium for the first time ever in 2024, slated for February 11. Host to regular NFL games as well as some of the world’s most famous artists (including Beyonce’s Renaissance tour and Taylor Swift’s Eras tour), Allegiant Stadium is an absolutely perfect venue for the occasion. The state-of-the-art facility, located adjacent to the southern end of The Strip, is the home of the Las Vegas Raiders and has a capacity of up to 65,000 fans.

Known as The Fan District, Mandalay Bay and Luxor are a quick, 15-minute walk to the stadium over the Hacienda Bridge. On game weekends, The Fan District hosts meet and greets with former pro football players, pre- and post-game football fan parties, live game viewings and player signings across both properties. Game Day drink specials — including a buy-one-get-one beer offer, discounted beer buckets and shots — can be found at Rhythm & Riffs, eyecandy, the Sportsbook, Hazel, Franklin, Centra and Aurora. Plus, enjoy a free appetizer at Public House when you present your Game Day ticket after the game. 

Catch Stanley Cup Champs, the Vegas Golden Knights, on Home Turf

Hockey fan? The Vegas Golden Knights are officially the 2023 Stanley Cup champions. The Las Vegas team won the trophy at their home stadium, the 650,000-square-foot T-Mobile Arena, in June. The 2023-2024 NHL season began on October 10, and hockey enthusiasts can attend home games of the defending champions from now well into next year.

Avoid the hassle of driving and parking by booking a stay at self-proclaimed hockey headquarters New York-New York Hotel & Casino, less than a 10-minute walk from the arena. New York-New York’s Beerhaus is the ideal location to congregate and celebrate the game, with its updated take on a classic beer hall. Once you’ve had your fill of locally sourced pub fare and craft brews on tap, maybe head to Tom’s Watch Bar where the beer is served in 40-oz. steins and the cheers can be heard all around.

Cheer on Pro Wrestlers or Pac-12 Women’s Basketball at MGM Grand

MGM Grand Las Vegas offers hotel options including suites and “Stay Well” rooms focused on wellness to dog-friendly accommodations. Celebrity chef-helmed restaurants from Wolfgang Puck, Morimoto, Tom Colicchio and Emeril Lagasse mean that guests won’t have to roam far for a memorable meal. Events at the MGM Grand Garden Arena are located in The District, accessible to ticket holders from inside the resort.

The 2023 WWE LIVE Holiday Tour will make a stop at the Grand Garden Arena Friday, December 29. Tickets start at just $20 to see notable WWE stars like Charlotte Flair or Rey Mysterio slam it all around in their most festive attire.

Fans of collegiate athletics can reserve their seats for an all-tournament pass to the 2024 Pac-12 Women’s Basketball Tournament taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on March 6, 7, 8 and 10. The Women’s tournament made its Las Vegas debut at MGM Grand in 2019.
