Not required

T-Mobile Arena

T-Mobile Arena, home of the Vegas Golden Knights, has not announced plans to require proof of vaccination for entry. While AEG owns part of the arena the company said its mandate does not apply to that venue, and the decision to require vaccinations for entry to Golden Knights games would be left up to the team. The arena’s safety protocols require all attendees over 2 years of age to wear a mask unless actively eating or drinking. The iHeartRadio music festival, Michael Buble concert and UFC 266 are among the upcoming events scheduled for T-Mobile Arena.

The home of the Las Vegas Aviators is not requiring proof of vaccination for entry. Fans at the ballpark are required to mask up when indoors, inside suites and shops, but can go maskless when outdoors. According the Aviators website, employees of Las Vegas Ballpark and the Las Vegas Aviators will not be wearing masks, as 100% of them are vaccinated, as a requirement of the company.
