Transportation to/from Allegiant Stadium
Going to Post Malone concert in May. Will an Uber take us right up to the stadium? Will they pick us up there in a designated spot? Is it a better idea to start at either the Luxor or Mandalay Bay and walk? How difficult is the walk and which is the best hotel from which to start? Thanks.
For your trip to Allegiant Stadium for the Post Malone concert in May, you have several transportation options to consider. Here's a breakdown of your options and some tips to make your experience smoother:
- Uber/Lyft to Allegiant Stadium: Yes, an Uber or Lyft can take you directly to Allegiant Stadium, and they will typically drop you off close to the entrance. However, keep in mind that due to the large crowds at events, traffic around the stadium can get congested. There are designated drop-off zones around the stadium, so your ride may not get as close as you would like, but it will still be fairly convenient. Be prepared for a bit of walking from the drop-off point, especially after the concert when a large number of people are trying to get transportation.
- Pick-up after the concert: For Uber or Lyft pick-ups, there are designated areas near Allegiant Stadium, but they can be crowded and require some waiting. Usually, these areas are marked, and your app will provide instructions on where to meet your driver. To avoid a long wait, consider walking a bit further from the main exit and using the app to confirm your pick-up location. Keep in mind that it can take some time to get a ride during or right after the concert due to heavy demand.
- Walking from Luxor or Mandalay Bay: If you’re up for walking, both the Luxor and Mandalay Bay are relatively close to Allegiant Stadium, and the walk isn’t too difficult. The walk is about 20-25 minutes, which gives you the opportunity to stretch your legs and avoid the potential traffic congestion. The route is straightforward, and you'll be walking along the Las Vegas Strip, so you can enjoy the atmosphere along the way. The walk is mostly flat and very doable, but be prepared for the desert heat in May, especially after the concert.
- Which hotel to start from: If you’re staying at either the Luxor or Mandalay Bay, both are great starting points for walking to Allegiant Stadium. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:
- Mandalay Bay: Mandalay Bay is slightly closer to Allegiant Stadium and offers a shorter walk, making it the better choice if you want to minimize walking time. The route is simple, and you’ll head south along Las Vegas Boulevard before turning onto Russell Road toward the stadium.
- Luxor: Luxor is a bit further away than Mandalay Bay, but still within walking distance. The walk is slightly longer, about 25-30 minutes, and you'll walk a similar path down the Strip before heading toward the stadium. If you're staying at Luxor, the walk is still easy and pleasant, but it may take a bit more time compared to Mandalay Bay.
- Other Considerations: If you're not in a rush to get to the concert and you want to enjoy the energy of the Strip, walking can be a fun way to get to Allegiant Stadium. However, be mindful of the weather, especially in May, as it can get quite warm. If you prefer to avoid the walk or if you're concerned about the heat, taking an Uber or Lyft will be a more comfortable choice.
Overall, both Uber/Lyft and walking from a nearby hotel are good options, but if you prefer to avoid waiting in traffic and crowds, starting from Mandalay Bay would be your best bet for a quick, enjoyable walk to the stadium. If you’re in a hurry, Uber/Lyft might be more convenient, though be prepared for the usual post-event rush. Enjoy the concert!
