Seating Recommendations and Charts

CORE Arena at Plaza Hotel & Casino offers outdoor seating with temporary bleachers and grandstands arranged around the arena(s). Seating configurations can change by event, so we recommend reviewing the event-day layout before you buy.

• Front-Row Bleachers: For the closest views of the arena action, the front rows typically provide the most immersive experience — a great choice when you want to catch details of roping and rodeo events up close.
• Mid-Row Grandstands: If you’re looking for a balance of proximity and elevation, mid-rows usually deliver a wider perspective of the arena with comfortable sightlines.
• Perimeter Bleachers: Along the outer edges, you’ll often enjoy broader angles across the arena(s), which can be ideal for following larger-format events and showcases.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

CORE Arena at Plaza Hotel & Casino

1 N Main St

Las Vegas, Nevada 89101

Located in downtown Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel & Casino, the arena places you steps from Fremont Street and the Fremont Street Experience.

• Parking: On-site parking is available at the Plaza Hotel & Casino; parking fees may apply and can vary by event and hotel policy.
• Public Transit: Accessible via RTC bus routes serving the downtown and Fremont Street area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located at the Plaza Hotel & Casino entrance near the arena.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event start time. This window gives you plenty of time for parking, security screening, and finding your seats — especially during high-demand periods like NFR week, when foot traffic and lines can increase.

This is an outdoor venue in the desert, so be prepared for hot, dry weather and occasional wind. Sun protection and hydration are recommended. If you’re catching an evening event, sunset can create a dramatic backdrop — it’s worth arriving a little early to take in the views and grab refreshments before the action starts.

If you’re using public transit or rideshare, aim for dropoff at the Plaza Hotel & Casino entrance for the most direct access. For drivers, allow extra time to navigate garage or surface lot parking and follow signage to the arena entrance. The terrain is generally flat, but expect some walking from parking areas to the event gates.

Venue Navigation

CORE Arena typically features temporary bleacher and grandstand seating arranged around one or both outdoor arenas, depending on the event. Follow posted signs and staff directions for your specific section and entrance; the layout can change between rodeos, roping competitions, and expos.

Concessions are available during events, and you’ll also find additional dining, bars, and amenities inside the Plaza Hotel & Casino steps away from the arena. Merchandise is commonly sold during special events such as the Downtown Christmas Expo, and ATMs are available inside the hotel and casino. Comfortable footwear is recommended, as you may be walking between the arenas, concessions, and the hotel complex.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Refer to Plaza Hotel & Casino event policies; standard security screening applies.
• Prohibited Items: Typical restrictions may include weapons, outside food/drink, and large bags.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Bring sun protection and plan to hydrate — it’s an outdoor, desert setting with occasional wind.
• For NFR week and major expos, arrive on the early side of the 60–90 minute window to beat the rush.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a day of it downtown. Before or after your event, stroll over to the Fremont Street Experience to catch the LED canopy shows and live music amid classic Vegas neon. You’ll also be near the Las Vegas Arts District and a range of museums and attractions if you’re exploring beyond the arena.

If you’re attending during NFR week, build in extra time to enjoy the atmosphere, check out western-themed concessions, and browse event merchandise. The plaza-facing skyline makes sunset a great photo opportunity; arrive early to catch the golden-hour glow over the two outdoor arenas before the lights come up.

Coordinating with a group? Set a clear meetup spot near the Plaza Hotel & Casino entrance or within the hotel lobby before heading to your sections. With seating configurations that change event to event, a simple plan helps everyone find their way quickly.

Accessibility

CORE Arena at Plaza Hotel & Casino is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available at the Plaza Hotel & Casino parking facilities.

If you need assistance selecting accessible seating or have specific mobility questions, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before you buy. We’re here to help you find the right seats and a smooth entry path for your event.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving snacks, drinks, and beverages, with western-themed offerings available during rodeo and expo events. If you want more variety, step into the Plaza Hotel & Casino for additional restaurants and bars just a short walk from the arena.
