Premium

Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas

Mandalay Bay tower, south Strip · 5 min walk

$$$9+ class

Occupies part of the Mandalay Bay tower with its own entrance and no casino, so the arena is an indoor walk. 9.2 on close to 300 reviews, roughly double Mandalay Bay's rate on the night we checked. The resort fee covers the Mandalay Bay pools and lazy river.

Fan pick

Mandalay Bay

South Strip, on site · 3 min walk

$$8-class

The arena is inside the resort, so you never touch Las Vegas Boulevard. 8.1 on 5,800 reviews, mid-band on the night we checked, with a $50 resort fee on top. The 11-acre pool with the sand beach and lazy river is the reason to stay here over the tram hotels.

Budget

Excalibur

South Strip, two stops up the free tram · 12 min walk

$high-7s class

Cheapest of the three tram-linked resorts on the night we checked, under both Mandalay Bay and Luxor, and it grades 7.7 on 30,000 reviews against Luxor's 7.4. About half a mile up the Strip, or ride the free Mandalay Bay tram. $45 resort fee. The Motel 6 west of I-15 is cheaper still and scores 5.1. Check recent reviews before booking.

The money play

Three moves, in order

1
Book refundable, today

The first demand spike hits when a home game becomes possible: a series lead, a clinch scenario. Lock a free-cancellation room in The Strip before certainty, while prices are still normal.

2
Watch the bracket, not the rates

The second, much bigger spike lands the moment the date is official, usually days before the game. Rooms near Michelob Ultra Arena go first, then demand ripples outward through Las Vegas.

3
Cancel free or cash in

If your team doesn't get the game, cancel before the cutoff. It costs nothing. If they do, you're holding a room everyone else is fighting over at double the price.

FAQ

What airport do I fly into for Michelob Ultra Arena?

Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is the main airport, roughly 10 minutes from the venue by car in normal traffic. Expect longer on game days.

Which neighborhoods are best for a WNBA playoff weekend in Las Vegas?

Most visiting fans stay in The Strip, Downtown Las Vegas or Summerlin. The arena is inside Mandalay Bay at the south end of the Strip, so stay there or at the connected Luxor and Delano and you can walk to your seat without ever stepping outside into the summer heat.

When should I book a hotel for a playoff game at Michelob Ultra Arena?

Book a refundable rate the moment a home game becomes possible, even before the matchup is official. Playoff-round dates firm up only days in advance and prices jump immediately, so a free-cancellation booking made early beats waiting every time.
