About Sam Boyd Stadium Parking Lots
Sam Boyd Stadium Parking Lots in Las Vegas is a historic, outdoor football and multi-use facility with a storied past in Nevada athletics. Located at 7000 East Russell Road, Las Vegas, NV 89122, the site hosted UNLV Rebels football, the Las Vegas Bowl, USA Sevens rugby, and other major events through 2020. Though the stadium closed in December 2020 and ownership returned to Clark County in 2025, the surrounding parking lots and tailgating areas remain a notable part of Las Vegas event history. This page provides an overview of seating and tailgate layouts, parking options (historical patterns), transit connections, and nearby lodging and dining you can consider as you explore classic Nevada events or plan future trips to the area.
While Sam Boyd Stadium no longer operates as a live event venue, knowledge of its layout, parking areas, and historical transit routes remains valuable for fans and visitors. For current Las Vegas events and alternative venue options, we recommend checking local listings and our partner hotels and restaurants for convenient stays and dining near the Strip and surrounding neighborhoods. We’ve got you covered with reliable, no-fuss guidance to help you secure suitable arrangements for your next sports or entertainment outing.
