Allegiant sits just west of the south end of the Strip, which makes it the one NFL stadium where the best answer might be to not drive at all. A pedestrian bridge connects Las Vegas Boulevard to the stadium, and on game days that whole path closes to cars and belongs to people walking over from Mandalay Bay and Luxor. Fans describe that walk as the best part of the entry. The stadium is fully cashless, lots open four hours before kickoff, and there are three rules that catch visitors every year: no re-entry once you leave a lot, no tailgating once the event starts, and nothing longer than 20 feet, which means no RVs at all. And the single most expensive mistake in Las Vegas is planning to get a rideshare after the game.
The short answer
Best move if you are staying on the Strip: park at your hotel, walk the Hacienda Bridge, pay nothing extra. Cheapest official lot: Lot V, sometimes from around $35, though most lots run $50 and up. Cheapest way in from off-Strip: the RTC Game Day Express from six casinos, or the Deuce at $8 for 24 hours. Best for tailgating: any of the onsite lots, and get there when they open, because tailgating is banned once the event starts. Worst plan: assuming you will grab an Uber home afterward.

Every option, in detail
Free street
Park on the Strip and walk the Hacienda Bridge
Free if you are already parked at your hotel, otherwise resort self-parking ratesThe bridge is 0.3 mi, about 10 to 15 min, on a path under 1 mi from Las Vegas Boulevard /// Anytime, the path is pedestrian-only on game days
On all game days and select events, the route from Las Vegas Boulevard to the stadium closes to vehicles entirely and becomes a pedestrian path. If you are staying at Mandalay Bay, Luxor, or Excalibur, you are already at the trailhead and you do not need a parking pass at all. Fans consistently describe walking over with the crowd as the best way to arrive, and one route worth stealing: from farther up the Strip, ride the free tram between Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay, then walk from there.
Heads up: It is Las Vegas, so check the forecast. A 15 minute walk in September heat is a different thing than in December, and you are doing it twice.

Offsite lot
RTC Game Day Express
RTC fare, well under any parking passDrops at the stadium /// Runs from 30 min before gates open until 1 hour before kickoff
A dedicated game-day shuttle from six casinos: Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe Station, Sam's Town, Aliante, and M Resort. You park free at the casino, ride in, and skip the lots and the exit completely. Locals who use it for Golden Knights games already know this trick.
Heads up: Service stops running one hour before kickoff, so it is not a late-arrival option. Confirm the return schedule before the game, not after it.

Offsite lot
The Deuce bus
$8 for a 24-hour passDrops on Las Vegas Boulevard, then the bridge walk /// Runs 24/7, about every 15 min
The Deuce runs the length of Las Vegas Boulevard around the clock at roughly 15 minute intervals. An $8 day pass covers your whole trip, game included, and it drops you at the head of the pedestrian bridge.

Offsite lot
Lot V and the offsite lots (S, V, W, X, Dewey)
Lot V is often the cheapest official option, sometimes from about $35Varies, longer than the onsite lots /// 4 hours before kickoff
The offsite lots are still official stadium lots with a pass, and tailgating is allowed in them. Lot V is repeatedly named as the cheapest of the official options.
Heads up: Prices swing hard by opponent and by what else is happening in town that weekend, and the roughly $35 figure comes from independent parking guides rather than the stadium, which does not publish rates. Buy through SpotHero in advance, which the stadium itself strongly encourages, because day-of pricing is where people get hurt.

Stadium lot
Onsite lots (A, B, C, E, F, G, H, J)
Generally $50 and up, and higher for marquee gamesAt the stadium /// 4 hours before kickoff, and you can queue an hour before that
The onsite lots are where the tailgate happens and where you want to be if the lot scene is part of your day. You can line up an hour before the lots even open, which tells you how seriously people take the spot they want.
Heads up: Three rules bite here. There is no re-entry, so once you drive out your pass is dead. Tailgating is strictly prohibited at the start of, during, and after the event, so it is a before-only activity. And the stadium is cashless, card or mobile only.

Stadium lot
Accessible parking
Standard lot rate, a parking pass is still requiredAt the stadium /// 4 hours before kickoff
All accessible spaces require a valid ADA placard or license plate, and you still need a regular parking pass on top of it. If the accessible spaces are full, placard holders are given the next available space in the reserved lots. There is an ADA drop-off zone in Lot B near Gate 2.

Stadium lot
Rideshare and taxi
Fare, and it surges brutally after the gameLot N on Dean Martin Drive /// Event hours
Rideshare pickup and drop-off is Lot N on Dean Martin Drive, with a separate taxi and general drop-off at Diablo Drive and Procyon Street. Mandalay Bay and Luxor also work as rideshare points if you are willing to walk the bridge.
Heads up: This is the local warning worth taking seriously. Fans describe the postgame reality as road closures, tens of thousands of people requesting cars at once, and cell service so overloaded that the app will not complete a ride. People end up with failed-pickup charges to dispute and fares many times normal. The road closures are confirmed by the stadium itself. Getting a car after a Raiders game is the hardest thing on this page, so plan the walk instead.
Via reddit.com (Pickup zones from the official stadium page. The postgame rideshare warning comes from detailed fan accounts in r/raiders. Those reports are several years old, so treat the specific dollar figures as dated, but the underlying cause, road closures plus crowd size plus network congestion, has not changed)

Skip parking entirely
Las Vegas gives you more genuine car-free options than any other NFL city, and using one of them is the single best decision you can make here. The bridge from the Strip is free, the Deuce is $8 for the day, and the RTC Game Day Express runs from six casinos.
Hacienda Bridge from the Strip
FreeThe 0.3 mile bridge takes 10 to 15 minutes, and the full path from Las Vegas Boulevard is under a mile and closed to cars on game days. If you are staying on the south Strip, this is your answer and it costs nothing.
Free Strip tram
FreeThe tram connecting Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay gets you to the bridge without walking the length of the Strip in the heat. Fans use it as the standard approach from farther north.
Via reddit.com
Deuce bus
$8, 24-hour passRuns the Strip 24/7 about every 15 minutes. The 24-hour window means one fare covers your whole day, not just the game.
RTC Game Day Express
RTC fareShuttles from Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe Station, Sam's Town, Aliante, and M Resort. Starts 30 minutes before gates open and stops one hour before kickoff.
When to get there
Lots open four hours before kickoff and you can queue an hour before that, which means the serious tailgaters are lining up five hours out. If you are walking over from the Strip, you have more freedom, but give yourself real time: the bridge walk is 10 to 15 minutes plus however long it takes to get to Las Vegas Boulevard, and the crowd slows everything down as kickoff approaches.
Getting out after
Plan your exit before you arrive, because this is where Las Vegas is genuinely different. Road closures around the stadium, a crowd all leaving at once, and overloaded cell networks combine to make getting a rideshare far harder than anywhere else on this list. Walking back over the bridge to the Strip is the reliable option and it is the reason the bridge approach is worth building your whole day around. If you did drive, remember there is no re-entry and no tailgating after the event, so there is nothing to stay for.
Tailgating rules
Tailgating is allowed in every onsite lot (A, B, C, E, F, G, H, J) and the offsite lots (S, V, W, X, Dewey), starting when lots open four hours before kickoff. Noise limits apply, and portable PA systems and excessive amplified sound are prohibited.
The rule that catches people: tailgating is strictly prohibited at the start of, during, and after the event. Combined with the no re-entry policy, that means the lot scene is a pregame thing only, and there is no coming back to the car for a postgame beer. If you are visiting without a car and want in on a tailgate, fans say the same thing they say everywhere: bring something to share and be friendly.
