Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the major fights in Las Vegas being held?+
Most major UFC events and championship fights take place at T-Mobile Arena, located on the Las Vegas Strip at 3780 S Las Vegas Blvd. It is a 2-minute walk from Park MGM and New York-New York hotels, making it one of the most walkable fight venues in the world.
What time do the fights typically start in Las Vegas?+
For major Las Vegas events, the main card usually starts at 7:00 PM local time (PT). Prelims typically begin around 5:00 PM PT. Always check your specific event ticket for exact door and start times.
Is Las Vegas safe for fight fans?+
Las Vegas is a very tourist-friendly city. The Strip and surrounding casino areas are well-lit, patrolled, and extremely busy. Standard precautions apply: watch your belongings in crowds, drink responsibly, and use Uber/Lyft at night rather than unmarked cabs.
How do I get to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas?+
T-Mobile Arena is on the Las Vegas Strip, so most fans simply walk from their hotel. From Caesars Palace it's a 15-minute walk. If staying off-Strip, take Uber/Lyft ($8-15) or the Las Vegas Monorail (stops at Park MGM area).
What neighborhood should I stay in for a fight weekend in Las Vegas?+
The Strip is the obvious choice — within walking distance of T-Mobile Arena, with hundreds of hotel options. Off-Strip (Paradise Road, the university district) offers cheaper rooms with a 5-10 minute Uber ride to the venue. Downtown/Fremont is about 5 km away.
What is there to do in Las Vegas beyond gambling?+
Las Vegas has the Sphere (an immersive entertainment venue), the High Roller observation wheel, the Bellagio Fountains, world-class dining, Cirque du Soleil, and day trips to Red Rock Canyon and the Hoover Dam.
What food should I eat in Las Vegas for fight weekend?+
Las Vegas has some of the world's best restaurants. For pre-fight: quick bites at the Linq or Forum Shops. For post-fight: In-N-Out Burger is open late and a Vegas institution. For a splurge: Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand or any of the celebrity chef spots on the Strip.
Where do fans go for drinks before and after the fight in Las Vegas?+
Pre-fight: T-Mobile Arena has its own bars and the surrounding Park MGM area has great options. Post-fight: the entire Strip comes alive — Omnia at Caesars and XS at Encore are legendary for after-parties. Note that Strip nightclubs often have steep cover charges.
Should I rent a car in Las Vegas for a fight weekend?+
You don't need a car for a typical fight weekend. The Strip is walkable, Uber/Lyft are plentiful, and the Monorail connects several major hotels. If you plan a day trip to Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam, a rental car or guided tour makes sense.
Do I need a visa to visit the United States for a fight?+
Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries (UK, EU, Australia, etc.) can apply for ESTA online before travel — it costs $21 and takes minutes. Canadian citizens typically don't need ESTA. Check travel.state.gov for your specific country.
