WHAT:     

The Park and T-Mobile Arena will transform the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip when they open Monday, April 4 and Wednesday, April 6, respectively. Roughly two years have been invested into bringing a 20,000-seat world-class arena and immersive outdoor park district to the Entertainment Capital of the World. 

These incredible experiential entertainment developments underscore Las Vegas' evolution as a destination for a new set of travelers. The Park embodies the stunning natural desert-scape of the Mojave at the epicenter of Las Vegas Boulevard, creating an open-air patio environment and community gathering place that leads to T-Mobile Arena. Offering unmatched venue capacity and technical capabilities, T-Mobile Arena will play host to the world's finest performers and athletes, hosting more than 100 major events each year.
