Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena Announces Club Seating

The new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is scheduled to open April 6 and announced new club seating memberships that are designed to enhance the guest experience, while also providing early access to tickets for large events. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Sands announced it wants to build a competing arena.

T-Mobile Arenain Las Vegas unveiled several club seating plans in time for its April 6 opening.

Owned by MGM Resorts International and managed by AEG, the $375 million is located between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo casinos, and the club seating packages are designed to enhance the guest experience during events.

“T-Mobile Arena is Las Vegas’ first venue to deliver a truly elevated premium guest experience with a wide range of options and amenities to suit all tastes,” AEG Senior Vice President Mark Faber said.

Club seat membership will ensures guests can secure tickets to the biggest events at T-Mobile Arena before they are available to the public, and provides pre-sale access to a limited number of in-bowl seats positioned in the two center sections of the arena.

Club seating also connects two upscale private lounges, Desert by Day on the arena’s east side, and Desert by Night on the west side, which will offer gourmet cuisine and signature cocktails in a stylish setting.

Among seating options for club seating members are opera boxes, terrace tables, luxury suites.

A 42-acre site located near the new T-Mobile Arena and the MGM Grand might become the future home of a 65,000-seat arena.

UNLV owns the land, which it bought for $50 million in December, and said it would like to stadium for its football team, which currently plays in the antiquated Sam Boyd Stadium located several miles east of the University and generally is regarded as one of the worst stadium venues in the United States.

Las Vegas Sands officials said they will present a plan to state officials to build a $1.2 billion stadium on the 42-acre site, which is located on the north side of Tropicana Avenue and across from McCarran International Airport.

Las Vegas Sands says it will provide $420 million in project funding if the state can come up with $780 million in public funding, possibly by levying additional taxes on hotel rooms, cab rides, and car rentals, among other sources.

The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee is scheduled to review the stadium proposal on March 24.
