Parking

There's no free lot at the arena; parking is paid at the four Stateline casinos, with rates that vary by event, and you can reserve ahead on ParkWhiz. To skip parking costs, leave your car free at the South Y or Kingsbury Transit Center and ride the free TTD bus.

Getting there

The arena is at 75 US-50 in Stateline, NV, right before the casino corridor. From Reno take I-580 south, then US-50 west (about an hour). From Sacramento take US-50 east over the Sierra. There's a Reno–Tahoe Knight Monsters shuttle for every home game: $50 covers the round trip and a game ticket.

Bar scene

The arena sits next to the Stateline casinos and their bars, and there's a brewery taproom within walking distance.

Pre-game bars

  • Lake Tahoe AleWorX — Taproom with pizza and games, walking distance from the arena; its beer is also poured inside.
  • Fox and Hound — Mountain BBQ smokehouse with craft beer near Heavenly Stagecoach, about 10 minutes' drive.
  • Chicken in a Barrel — Casual Hawaiian-style BBQ chicken that also has a stand inside the arena.

Insider tips

  • Clear bag only (up to 12"x6"x12"); small clutches up to 4.5"x6.5" are OK.
  • The arena is fully cashless.
  • Doors open 1 hour before puck drop (90 minutes for 1645 Club members).
  • No re-entry, and no smoking anywhere on the property.
  • The team warns the rink runs cooler than usual, so bring layers.
