The new Las Vegas Stadium is located just west of Interstate #15 at the south end of the Vegas Strip. It is a few hundred feet away from Mandalay Bay, one of Vegas’ most famous hotels.

In the overview below, you can see its location relative to a few other Vegas landmarks: T-Mobile Arena, MGM Grand, Excalibur, Luxor, and the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay.

The entrance to the new Las Vegas Stadium is at the northeast part of the parcel. The road that runs east-west in between Mandalay Bay and the Luxor is West Hacienda Avenue. Fans will be able to access the stadium on gameday via this bridge, which will be converted to a 100% pedestrian walkway on game days.

Under construction right now, the new stadium is expected to be ready by the start of the Las Vegas Raiders (formally Oakland) 2020 season. NFL pre-season begins the first week of August, so it is expected that the stadium will be ready by this date as well.

The first few events in the new stadium will be test runs in order to trial the stadium and find any flaws before the official opening in September 2020.
