Hotels for Los Angeles Rams at Las Vegas Raiders

Two AFC and NFC West rivals renew a familiar clash, with the desert setting giving this fixture a different feel to either team's usual home games. Expect a lively crowd mixing local supporters with travelling fans, since both franchises draw well beyond their home markets. A domed, air-conditioned venue means the afternoon heat outside has no bearing on conditions inside.

The Raiders joined the AFL as a charter member in Oakland in 1960 and built their identity on Al Davis's 'Commitment to Excellence' motto and a reputation as the league's rebellious outsiders, reflected in the silver-and-black colours and skull-and-crossbones-style shield logo. Oakland won three Super Bowls, after the 1976, 1980 and 1983 seasons, the latter two among the most dominant title-game performances of their eras.

The franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1982, back to Oakland in 1995, and to Las Vegas in 2020, settling beside the Strip in a stadium built specifically for the relocation. Coach John Madden's 1970s teams, brash and star-studded, remain the era most associated with the Raiders' outlaw reputation.

Home to the Raiders, the sleek black Allegiant Stadium sits just off the Las Vegas Strip, a marquee host of NFL football and the very biggest concerts and events. The Strip's endless hotels, restaurants, casinos and nightlife are all within reach, making it one of the most entertainment-rich settings anywhere.

Access is by rideshare, shuttle or on foot from nearby resorts. Booking a room on or near the Strip lets you walk or ride to the stadium and dive straight back into the action.
