The T-Mobile Arena standing room only sections are above average. This isn’t to say the experience is good. Having seats will always be better. However, if you want to see the Las Vegas Golden Knights play without spending a ton of money, buying tickets here is a practical alternative that doesn’t completely suck.
Unlike some teams (*cough Dallas Cowboys *cough) Las Vegas doesn’t jam up fans by selling more tickets than the T-Mobile Arena standing room only sections can handle. That means you won’t be stuck behind rows of standing fans desperately trying to get a glimpse of the action. This may be different for non-NHL events.
You will find the standing room only sections at the very top concourse of T-Mobile Arena above the 200-level seats. Despite being far away from the action, the views here are still good apart from the odd seated person standing up in front of you.

There is a little table/bar thing which indicates where you can stand. This is a nice feature to have. Not only can you use it for your food and drinks, but simply being able to lean on it during a game is a relief.
It is important to note that T-Mobile Arena standing room only seats are partial ice view. That being said, this sounds worse than it actually is. Some of the action towards the boards nearest to you may not be visible, but that’s it. You won’t miss any goals or much else.

T-Mobile Arena also has the Party Deck which is another standing room section with all-inclusive food and drinks. That is located behind one of the goals and a totally different thing from what we’re reviewing here.
T-Mobile Arena standing room only review score: 6
The T-Mobile Arena standing room only experience is not bad. It’s just harder to score it anything higher than a six because you’re still standing for like three hours at the end of the day. Las Vegas does its best to make the experience tolerable and being here definitely beats watching the game at home.
And if you’re really cheap like me, there are a few places you can find free parking assuming you don’t mind walking. OYO Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, formerly Hooters Casino Hotel Las Vegas, is less than a mile away and has plenty of free parking. Treasure Island is further afield, but the stroll down the Strip isn’t so bad. You can also take the tram if you’re so inclined.
