Omni Dallas Hotel

The Omni Dallas is connected by skybridge to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and positioned a short walk from the American Airlines Center where the Mavericks and Stars play, making it the most convenient luxury hotel in Dallas for visiting teams, sports executives, and fans attending arena events. The rooftop pool, multiple restaurants, and polished service create a resort-within-the-city atmosphere, and the American Airlines Center lobby is literally visible from upper-floor rooms. During NBA and NHL playoff runs the hotel fills with a Who's Who of sports personalities.

American Airlines Center Fan Tour

American Airlines Center is home to both the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars and ranks among the most fan-forward arenas in the country — the behind-the-scenes tour offers access to locker rooms, the championship banners, and ice-level views that put you inches from where Dirk Nowitzki made history and the Stars have raised their Stanley Cup banners. The surrounding Victory Park district has developed into a genuine entertainment destination with restaurants and bars that create a full pre- and post-game ecosystem. Luka Doncic-era Mavericks games here have generated some of the most electric home-court environments in modern NBA history.

The AT&T Stadium Tailgate Village in Arlington is the NFL's grandest pregame spectacle — an enormous organized tailgate zone surrounding the world's largest column-free building, with over 100,000 square feet of fan activation space, live music, and the signature Cowboys Star experience. The 80,000-square-foot high-definition video board visible from inside is the most jaw-dropping feature in professional sports, and the tailgate village gives you the ideal warm-up context before experiencing it for the first time. America's Team has built the most theatrical home-game presentation in football, and it starts in the parking lots three hours before kick-off.
