Not every question about a Las Vegas night out needs a long guide. Sometimes you just want to know what kind of room a venue is, how big it feels, or what to keep in mind before heading there. The Notes section gathers those shorter reads in one place. Helios Club is an independent journal: we do not sell tickets, take bookings or work for any venue, team or promoter, so these notes are simply background to help you decide.
Arenas and stadiums
- T-Mobile Arena — the Strip's hockey and fight-night arena, home of the Vegas Golden Knights since 2017.
- Allegiant Stadium — the domed home of the Las Vegas Raiders and UNLV Rebels, which hosted Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024.
- MGM Grand Garden Arena — open since the last night of 1993 and long associated with major boxing.
- Las Vegas Ballpark — the Summerlin home of the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators.
Theaters and residency rooms
- The Colosseum at Caesars Palace — a residency theater of about 4,100 seats, built for Celine Dion's first Las Vegas show.
- Dolby Live at Park MGM — the former Park Theater, holding up to 6,400 for pop and rock residencies.
- Sphere — the 366-foot immersive venue east of the Strip, opened in 2023.
- The Smith Center for the Performing Arts — downtown's home for Broadway tours, ballet and the Las Vegas Philharmonic.
Practical extras
Alongside the venue notes, a set of practical extras covers the questions readers ask most: choosing a resident show, comedy and magic nights, shows for families, reading seat maps and buying tickets safely from official sources.
How to use these notes
Treat each note as a starting point. Venue facts such as capacity and opening dates are stable, but show schedules, entry rules, bag policies and parking arrangements change often, so always confirm them on the venue's own website before you travel. For wider planning, our Guides cover transport, heat and days out, and the Shows section helps you choose what to see. You can also browse back to the home page to see what is new.
