The Sports Weekend in One Line
It's football's second straight Sunday at Allegiant, and the last home game for three weeks. Saturday has a fight card at the Palms, and the Speedway north of town is open all weekend for anyone who'd rather drive than watch. For everything else across the same three nights, see our guide to Las Vegas events this weekend.
Sunday: Raiders Host the Rams
The Las Vegas Raiders play the Los Angeles Rams at Allegiant Stadium, the domed home that hosted Super Bowl LVIII. After Sunday the team doesn't play at home again until the middle of November. For the building itself, see our Allegiant Stadium tour guide.
When: Sunday. Where: Allegiant Stadium, south end of the Strip. Booking: the Los Angeles Rams game on October 25.
All Weekend: Supercar Laps at the Speedway
Dream Racing puts you behind the wheel at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in cars like a Ferrari F430 GT or a Lamborghini Aventador. A coach rides along, a simulator session on a laser-scanned copy of the road course comes first, and you'll get five laps once you're strapped in. There's free shuttle transport from the Shops at Crystals for some of the daytime sessions. More in our Dream Racing guide.
When: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, daytime. Where: Las Vegas Motor Speedway, north of the city. Ages: 16 and up to drive, with a valid license.
Planning Notes
Saturday night has a fight. Tuff-N-Uff 158 puts an MMA card in the Pearl Theater at the Palms, west of the Strip on Flamingo Road. The promotion's been a launchpad for fighters who went on to bigger stages. On Sunday, the south Strip's traffic slows to a crawl in the hours before and after the football, so plan any airport run around it. For the concerts on the same nights, including Tom Jones, Tim McGraw and Metallica at Sphere, our weekend guide has the rest. Check the booking section below for current availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sporting events are in Las Vegas this weekend?
Two live events. Saturday, October 24 is Tuff-N-Uff 158, mixed martial arts at the Palms' Pearl Theater. Sunday, October 25 is NFL football, the Los Angeles Rams at the Raiders, at Allegiant Stadium. For something to drive yourself, Dream Racing runs supercar sessions at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on all three days.
When is the next Raiders home game?
Sunday, October 25 against the Los Angeles Rams. After that the team is away for a stretch, and the next home date on the booking calendar is Sunday, November 15. If you want an NFL game on this trip, this is the last one at Allegiant for three weeks.
How do I get to Allegiant Stadium from the Strip?
Walk if you're staying at the south end. From Mandalay Bay, Luxor or Excalibur, the pedestrian route over the Hacienda Avenue bridge across I-15 takes about fifteen minutes. From mid-Strip, take a rideshare to one of those resorts and walk the last part, because the drop-off lanes around the stadium jam up well before kickoff.
Can you drive a supercar in Las Vegas without racing experience?
Yes. Dream Racing needs no track experience. Drivers must be at least 16 with a valid driver's license, and ride-along guests must be 15 or older. Under-18s need both parents or guardians to sign a waiver. Closed-toe shoes are required, and you'll do a simulator session on the same road course before getting in the car.
Is Dream Racing worth it, or should I just go to the Raiders game?
They fill different parts of the day. The football takes Sunday afternoon and then some. Dream Racing is a few hours on a morning or early afternoon at the Speedway, about half an hour north of the Strip, with five laps in a car you'd never get near otherwise. On Friday or Saturday it fits in easily; on Sunday, pick one.
