Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay

The Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an impressive 12,000-seat venue that hosts everything from Grammy-winning musicians to professional sports.

Seating

Boxing

The seating at the arena for boxing is different from that for any other event, except maybe wrestling. The boxing ring is in the middle of the arena floor, and seats are available on multiple levels 360 degrees around it. 

The closer you are to the action, the better. If you can’t afford seats with a great view of what’s happening in the ring, large projection screens give guests an up-close look at what’s happening.

Basketball Seating for Las Vegas Aces

Basketball at the arena formerly known as Mandalay Bay Events Center transforms the floor of the arena into a basketball court. The Las Vegas Aces, a women’s basketball team, calls the Michelob Ultra Arena home. 

Las Vegas Aces games make up the majority of the basketball games played in the arena, but similar seating charts are used for all basketball events. Fans of the Las Vegas Aces can even become season ticket holders to attend all home games.

Courtside seats are available for special guests, but most attendees will be on levels 100, 200, or 300 seating.

Concerts

Concerts at Michelob Ultra Arena have a similar seating chart to those at other venues. The main stage is at the front of the venue, and various levels of seating fill the rest of the venue.

Floor seats are available right in front of the stage. Level 100 seats are one level above the floor, while level 200 seats are 2 levels up and the furthest from the stage.

Parking

Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort is conveniently located on Las Vegas Blvd. The easiest option for parking at the events center is to pay the Mandalay Bay self-parking fee.

Self Parking Rates

Valet Parking Fees

There’s never a shortage of Uber and Lyft drivers in Las Vegas either, so you don’t necessarily have to drive yourself. All events at the Arena are marked with signs to direct drivers to find self-parking at the parking garage, valet, or to drop off a passenger.

Capacity

The arena has a capacity of 12,000 guests, including accessible options for disabled guests. Not every event will have 12,000 tickets for sale; that’s just the maximum capacity for the arena.

Where is Michelob Ultra Arena?

The MGM Resorts-owned Michelob Ultra Arena is located right off the Las Vegas Strip at 3950 Las Vegas Blvd. The venue can be accessed directly off the Strip through Mandalay Bay or from the parking garage outside the Mandalay Bay Resort.
