Allegiant Stadium Update: Stadium on time for July opening
Allegiant Stadium will be the future home of the Las Vegas Raiders. The stadium is being built on a 62 acre property just west of Mandalay Bay on the other side of Interstate 15.
Allegiant Stadium will serve as the home stadium for the National Football League (NFL)’s Las Vegas Raiders and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Rebels college football team.
Construction of the $1.8 billion stadium began on November 13, 2017 and is expected to reach “substantial completion” completed in July 2020 in time for the Raiders 2020 NFL Season.
“Substantial completion” date means not every element of the stadium will be finished, but enough will be done to host football games, music concerts, etc…
MSG Sphere Las Vegas is currently being constructed on the east side of Venetian/ Sand Convention Center and is on track to be completed in 2021.

The project was originally estimated to cost $1.2 billion, but MSG Sphere design upgrades have boosted the total cost estimate to $1.66B… the timing of 2021 project completion is on track.
