Bud Light Beer Garden hits the Las Vegas Strip

25 August 2021

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Entertainment and sports industry leaders MGM Resorts and Bud Light have joined forces to introduce the Bud Light Beer Garden to the Las Vegas Strip, the ultimate, immersive, only-in-Vegas tailgate experience. Non-stop outdoor action awaits football fans before and after all Raiders and UNLV home games as well as select sports and entertainment events at Allegiant Stadium.

Marshawn Lynch, former NFL legend and Super Bowl champion, made a special appearance to kick off the festivities and debut the new gameday ritual ahead of the Raiders’ pre-season opener Saturday, 14 August.

“The city’s first football season with fans in the stands is a monumental moment,” said Chuck Bowling, president and COO of Mandalay Bay and Luxor. “We’ve created a game day event that embodies the spirit and excitement of Las Vegas and offers fans unique pre-game experiences. We look forward to creating new traditions at this venue for this season and beyond.”

The 130,000-square-foot immersive space located at the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Hacienda Ave. offers complimentary admission to the public, is within walking distance to Allegiant Stadium and opens four hours prior to each event and remains open until the event’s conclusion. Fans can stay close to the action by reserving a parking spot at Mandalay Bay, Delano, Luxor and Excalibur for fast and easy access to Allegiant Stadium.

Fans attending the Bud Light Beer Garden will enjoy:

  • Interactive football challenges and life-sized Jenga and chess
  • Live DJ entertainment
  • Sports-betting suites from MGM Resorts’ leading sports betting company, BetMGM
  • Food and beverage favorites from MGM Resorts’ restaurants including International Smoke by Chef Michael Mina and Ayesha Curry, Diablo’s Cantina, Public House and Beerhaus
