Where to stay for the 2027 CFP National Championship Hotels near Allegiant Stadium, by time to the gate

Checked against 9 sources on November 11, 2026 · Editorial team · How we check

Stay at the south end of the Strip (Mandalay Bay, Four Seasons, New York-New York) or on Dean Martin Drive beside the stadium: 15–31 minutes on foot. Book Sunday and Monday night at least; rooms were already twice a normal week's price in November.

The stadium sits just west of I-15 from the south end of the Strip. From Mandalay Bay you walk over the Hacienda Bridge in about 21 minutes, from New York-New York in 31; the chain hotels on Dean Martin Drive, on the stadium's side of the freeway, are 15–22 minutes away. The centre Strip is a 36–56 minute walk or a short ride on the Deuce bus, which runs all night. The weekend starts on Friday 22 January with the free Fan Central at the Convention Center, so many fans stay four nights.
