The 17,000-capacity arena at MGM Grand where Mike Tyson bit a piece of cartilage from Evander Holyfield's right ear in the third round of their June 28, 1997 WBA Heavyweight rematch, then bit the left ear in the same round. Tyson was disqualified and his Nevada license was suspended.

The 20,000-capacity arena in Paradise, NV where McGregor lost UFC 229 to Khabib Nurmagomedov by 4th-round rear-naked choke — the most-bought UFC PPV ever at 2.4 million buys, drawing a Nevada-record $17.2M live gate. Famous for the post-fight scuffle when Khabib leapt the cage at McGregor's corner.
The Colosseum at Caesars Palace
The 4,300-seat Colosseum, originally built for Celine Dion, where Garth Brooks performed his completely no-setlist 'Plus ONE' residency. Every show was different, with Brooks taking audience requests in real time across his catalog.

1,000-seat ultra-intimate cabaret-style venue inside The Venetian. Aguilera doesn't take the stage until midnight, performing a fused music-art-fashion show in a room so small almost every date sold out.

The Resorts World outpost of Beverly Hills fixture Wally's — a wine-forward American restaurant and bar inside the same property as Resorts World Theatre, where Underwood's residency runs. Repeatedly recommended as the pre-show dining destination for Underwood ticketholders, both by Resorts World's own dining listings and the Las Vegas TripAdvisor forum.

Gastropub at Mandalay Bay offering inventive American cuisine, craft beers, and creative cocktails in a stylish industrial-chic setting. A pre-event dining favorite for concert and UFC fans.
Virgil's Real Barbecue
Virgil's Real Barbecue on the Las Vegas Strip at the LINQ is the go-to pre-event restaurant for sports fans heading to T-Mobile Arena or Allegiant Stadium — massive portions of championship-quality smoked brisket, pulled pork, and baby back ribs at prices that won't leave you choosing between dinner and your seat upgrade. The bourbon selection is exceptional and the casual, loud atmosphere is exactly what Vegas sports fans want before a big game. On UFC fight week, the restaurant fills with fighters, coaches, and media in a scene only Las Vegas produces.
Bavette's Steakhouse & Bar
Chicago import — gilded chandeliers, red leather banquettes, live jazz, steaks 6oz filet to 32oz porterhouse. Closest fine dining to Dolby Live lobby.
Bavette’s Steakhouse & Bar
A moody, old-world steakhouse at Park MGM recommended in race-weekend dining guides — the pick for F1 fans who want a classic Vegas sit-down dinner near the circuit before or after a night session.
Beerhaus
A casual beer hall at The Park near New York-New York, with an outdoor patio, sausages and sandwiches, and screens showing the action — a relaxed, affordable place to eat, drink and watch near the circuit.
Best Friend by Roy Choi
Roy Choi's Korean-Mexican mashup — Kogi short rib tacos, kimchi stew, 90s vinyl DJ sets. Opens 4pm seven days, perfectly timed for pre-residency dinner.

Delilah
h.wood Group's 1950s-inspired supper club inside Wynn's Tower Suites — named Best Supper Club for the fourth consecutive year in 2026.
Eat at Best Friend or Eataly before the show without leaving Park MGM
Roy Choi's Best Friend, an LA-Korean-Mexican mash-up of Choi's Kogi truck hits, sits right next to Eataly inside Park MGM, both a short walk from Dolby Live's entrance. Best Friend keeps later hours on Dolby Live show nights, making it the standard pre- or post-show option for fans who don't want to deal with the Strip.
Eataly Las Vegas
Full Italian food hall — market, espresso bar, pizza, pasta, sit-down restaurants. Open until 2am Fri/Sat. Default pre-show stop for Dolby Live residencies.

Vanderpump à Paris
Lisa Vanderpump's French-fantasy bar directly across the Strip from Caesars — Art Nouveau velvet banquettes, smoked-pyramid cocktails, truffle baguette. 21+.
Walk straight to Restaurant Guy Savoy or Nobu after the show
Because the Colosseum sits inside Caesars Palace, post-show fans don't have to leave the property to find world-class dining: Michelin-starred Restaurant Guy Savoy, Nobu Caesars Palace (Matsuhisa's largest Nobu), Bobby Flay's Amalfi, and Giada De Laurentiis' Pronto are all walkable on the same casino floor. Late-show reservations are the move; many post-residency dinners run past midnight.
Best Bars in Las Vegas
Drai's Beachclub & Nightclub (rooftop at the Cromwell)
The center-Strip rooftop pool club and nightclub atop the Cromwell hotel, with direct line-of-sight to the F1 Strip Circuit. Wahlberg hosted the VISTA F1 x McLaren Race Weekend party here on November 16–18, 2023, watching the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix from the rooftop terrace.
The Pinky Ring at Bellagio
Bruno Mars' own 5,000-square-foot speakeasy-style cocktail lounge inside Bellagio, designed in collaboration with Yabu Pushelberg. Opened Super Bowl weekend 2024 in the former Lily lounge space.

XS Nightclub at Encore
The 40,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor nightclub inside Wynn's Encore tower where Drake performs multiple times per year under his Wynn Nightlife partnership. The venue was custom-rebuilt with a new stage and production specifically for his shows. Also a known celebrity-spotting room — LeBron James and the Cavs partied here after their 2016 NBA title, and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift celebrated the Chiefs' 2024 Super Bowl win here.
Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas
Zouk's 2,160-capacity, technology-forward nightclub at Resorts World, featuring a transforming LED 'Mothership' ceiling and shifting visual environments. Built as Travis Scott's signature Vegas home — he announced 'Road to Utopia' as a multi-year, first-of-its-kind nightclub residency partnership.
Girl Collection
Floyd Mayweather's own 7,000-square-foot strip club, opened 2018, co-owned with his sister Deltricia Howard. Modern décor across a main room with three stages and a private VIP area. The space previously housed Sheri's Cabaret.

Trendy lounge at Mandalay Bay combining artisanal cocktails with a cutting-edge sound system and visual displays. A sophisticated pre-show bar with a vibrant nightlife atmosphere on the Strip.

The Shoey Bar at Bellagio
A race-weekend pop-up bar at Bellagio, named for F1’s "shoey" celebration, that has run during the Grand Prix with celebrity guest bartenders and live music — a fan- and celebrity-favorite gathering spot tied to the event.
Fan Attractions in Las Vegas
Allegiant Stadium
Tour the stunning 65,000-seat home of the Las Vegas Raiders and UNLV Rebels. Behind-the-scenes stadium tours offer access to the field, luxury suites, and press areas of this architectural marvel.

A five-block pedestrian mall in downtown Las Vegas covered by a massive LED canopy that displays stunning light shows. Features live music stages, zip lines, street performers, and classic casinos.
Allegiant Stadium Tour
Go behind the scenes at the $1.9 billion home of the Las Vegas Raiders with a guided stadium tour. Explore premium suites, the field level, locker rooms, and the iconic Death Star-inspired architecture that has become a Las Vegas landmark since opening in 2020.
Allegiant Stadium Tour (Raiders)
Tour the Raiders' striking 65,000-seat black jewel-box stadium with its translucent roof and Las Vegas Strip views — the NFL's most dramatic new venue.
Area15 Immersive Experience
Area15 is Las Vegas' wildest immersive entertainment complex — a purpose-built venue housing Meow Wolf's Omega Mart, multiple art installations, virtual reality experiences, and live music events that visiting sports and music fans discover as the ultimate Vegas non-casino night out. The psychedelic art spaces and interactive environments attract music fans visiting for major festival weekends (When We Were Young, EDC) who want a daytime experience as mind-bending as the evening concerts. Sports fans staying near the Strip for major UFC or boxing events make Area15 their go-to afternoon adventure.
High Roller Observation Wheel
The world's tallest observation wheel at 550 feet, located at The LINQ Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip. Each 30-minute revolution offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Strip, mountains, and desert.

UFC Hall of Fame & Experience

Valley of Fire State Park
Nevada's oldest and largest state park, located 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Features stunning red sandstone formations, ancient petroglyphs, and desert wildlife. A popular day trip for visitors seeking natural beauty beyond the Strip.
'Weekends with Adele' closed November 2024 after 100 shows
Adele's first-ever residency, 'Weekends with Adele,' ran at the Colosseum from November 2022 through November 23, 2024, spanning 100 performances after an extended run. The two-year residency reshaped weekend Strip travel patterns for fans flying in Thursday-Sunday and re-established the Colosseum as the Strip's flagship residency room.
10,000 haptic seats vibrate with the show
Sphere built haptic technology into 10,000 of its 17,500 seats, so the floor and lower bowl physically rumble during atmospheric moments. It's part of what makes The Sphere Experience (Postcard from Earth) and music residencies feel like 4D rides rather than concerts; if you want the full sensory effect, choose a haptic-equipped section rather than upper-tier seats.
Arrive early for the Atrium: Aura robots and the world's largest holographic display
If your ticket lists a 7pm start, that's when the Atrium experience opens, not the show. Give yourself at least an hour before main-stage time to interact with the five humanoid Aura robots and the 30-by-50-foot Hypervisn holographic display (billed as the world's largest), plus a HOLOPLOT beamforming sound demo that pipes different audio to different seats.
Bruno Mars' nine-year Park MGM residency grossed $124.5M
Bruno Mars' residency at Dolby Live (formerly Park Theater) has run nine years and grossed $124.5M, making it the defining act of the 5,200-seat venue. On August 27, 2024 Lady Gaga joined him for the live debut of 'Die With a Smile,' which later won the 2026 Grammy for Song of the Year and is now a regular surprise moment fans hope to catch.
Center 200s and 'Director's Seats' (305-307) are the immersion sweet spot
Sphere fans and seating guides converge on sections 205-207, 305-307, and 405-407 as the optimal viewing band, with the 300-level center 'Director's Seats' built specifically around the 16K screen sightline. Avoid 100-level rows 22 and higher (overhang obstructs upper visuals) and far-side sections, where review sites report 45-60 degree neck strain because content sweeps the full dome.
Eagles record-breaking 'Live in Concert at Sphere' residency
The Eagles' Sphere residency launched September 2024 and was extended multiple times into 2026, becoming the longest-running Sphere residency to date with over 60 shows. Each performance opens with 'Hotel California' fully realized through Sphere's 16K wraparound LED dome, making the residency a bucket-list fan pilgrimage for classic-rock travelers.
LISA brings 'VIVA LA LISA' to the Colosseum in November 2026
BLACKPINK's LISA announced a four-date residency, 'VIVA LA LISA,' at the Colosseum on November 13, 14, 27, and 28, 2026, marking one of the first K-pop residencies in the room. It signals a generational handoff for Colosseum residency culture and is a key date for K-pop fan-travel calendars.
Phish's four-night Sphere run set the bar for jam-band immersion
Phish played four sold-out nights at Sphere in April 2024 (overlapping 4/20), with each night themed around a state of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) and all 18 setlist songs paired to bespoke animations across the dome. Rolling Stone and Billboard both called it a creative leap beyond U2's residency, and it remains the touchstone reference for jam-band fans planning Sphere trips.
Pinky Ring at Bellagio is the unofficial Bruno Mars after-party
Bruno Mars opened The Pinky Ring inside the Bellagio in February 2024, a 5,000 sq ft circular jazz lounge with a center stage where his band The Hooligans plays multiple sets nightly alongside DJs (8pm-2am weeknights, 8pm-3am Fri/Sat). It's a no-phones venue, and fans regularly walk from Park MGM/Dolby Live to Bellagio after the show; Mars has been known to drop in himself.
Sphere has one of the strictest bag policies on the Strip
Only small clutches and clear plastic totes no larger than 6 by 6 by 2 inches are allowed. Sphere does not check bags, so anything bigger has to go back to your hotel or rideshare. Pack light, and remember the venue is largely cashless with self-service kiosks for food and merchandise.
The room that invented the modern Vegas residency
The 4,100-seat Colosseum opened in 2003 specifically for Celine Dion's 'A New Day...', which ran 1,141 shows and grossed $650M, launching the modern Vegas residency era. Subsequent franchises (Elton, Cher, Rod Stewart, Mariah, Adele, Garth Brooks) cycled through the same room, making the Colosseum itself a kind of fan pilgrimage site regardless of who is currently in residence.
Use the indoor Venetian pedestrian bridge to skip Sands Avenue gridlock
Sphere connects to The Venetian and Palazzo via a climate-controlled indoor pedestrian bridge through the Venetian Convention Center, a roughly 10-12 minute walk lined with interactive digital displays. On show nights Sands Avenue rideshare lanes back up badly, so park or stay at The Venetian and walk in through the bridge rather than queueing for an Uber.
