Las Vegas Aces guide: game day at Michelob ULTRA Arena

By the ThingsVegas Editorial Team | Published October 24, 2026

The Las Vegas Aces are the best ticket in town that still feels like a discovery. The franchise arrived in Las Vegas in 2018 and proceeded to build a dynasty: WNBA championships in 2022 and 2023, then a third title in 2025, powered by A'ja Wilson, a four-time league MVP, and coached by Becky Hammon. They play at Michelob ULTRA Arena inside Mandalay Bay, a 12,000-seat room fans call The House, close enough to the court that every seat feels involved. This guide is the visitor layer: why tickets need planning, how game day works, and where to stay. Part of our Las Vegas sports guide.

The sellout streak: buy early, every time

Here is the single most important planning fact about the Aces: every home game has sold out since October 8, 2023. The streak ran through the entire 2024, 2025, and 2026 seasons, passing 60 straight sellouts. A 12,000-seat arena plus the league's biggest star plus a championship team equals a ticket you do not leave to game week. When the schedule comes out, pick your date and buy it. Marquee visitors (Indiana, New York, Phoenix) and weekend dates go first.

Tickets: the official route

Start at the team site, aces.wnba.com, which routes to the official ticket channels, including Ticketmaster for single games. Notes for visitors:

• The building is small on purpose. At 12,000 seats, even the upper sections sit close to the floor. There is no bad seat strategy to solve here, just a buy-early one.
• Weekday games are the value. If your Vegas trip is flexible, a Tuesday or Wednesday home game is the easiest ticket of the calendar and still comes with the full sellout atmosphere.
• Playoffs are a different market. The WNBA postseason runs into the fall, and Aces playoff tickets at The House are among the hottest in the league. If your fall trip overlaps a home playoff date, book the game first and the hotel second.
• Same owner, different dome. The Aces and the Raiders share an owner, Mark Davis, and a south Strip neighborhood. In the fall, a Raiders Sunday and an Aces playoff game can land on the same trip; our Raiders fan guide covers the football half.

Game day at The House

Michelob ULTRA Arena sits inside Mandalay Bay at 3950 Las Vegas Boulevard South, which makes game day unusually simple. You are not traveling to a stadium district; you are walking through a resort. Arrive through the casino floor or the Mandalay Place shops, eat inside the resort before tipoff, and you are in your seat in minutes. The room itself is the show: steep, loud, and dressed in red, with the energy of a building that has hosted three championship runs in four years.

• Getting there: the free Mandalay Bay tram links Mandalay Bay with Luxor and Excalibur, and the RTC Deuce bus stops on the boulevard outside. Drivers use the Mandalay Bay garages. Rideshare pickup is signed around the resort.
• Make a day of the resort: Aces season is pool season. Mandalay Bay Beach and the Shark Reef Aquarium are in the same building, so a summer home game pairs naturally with a resort day rather than a special trip across town.
• Season timing: the regular season runs from May into September, with the playoffs following into the fall. Summer dates overlap the hottest Strip months, another reason the in-resort setup works so well.

Where to stay for an Aces game

• Mandalay Bay: the arena is inside your hotel. Nothing else competes with that on game night. Check Mandalay Bay rates on Expedia
• Four Seasons Las Vegas: the quiet luxury floors at the top of the Mandalay Bay tower, same building, calmer lobby, same short walk to the arena. Check Four Seasons rates on Expedia
• Luxor: one free tram stop away and usually the friendliest price on the south Strip. Check Luxor rates on Expedia
• Excalibur: the budget pick at the end of the tram line, an easy ride or a short walk to Mandalay Bay. Check Excalibur rates on Expedia
