T-Mobile Arena, also known as the Vegas Golden Knights Fortress, is a multi-purpose indoor arena. The Arena opened in April of 2016 as a joint venture between MGM Resorts International and Anshutz Entertainment Group. When not in use for VGK games it serves as a concert, professional boxing, mixed martial arts (UFC), and other annual sporting events.
The entrance to T-Mobile is surrounded by dining and retail space from New York-New York and The Park MGM casino hotels. The Vegas Golden Knights Band marches through this alley before the start of the game as a way of letting patrons know the game is about to begin.

- Overall: 20,000
- Basketball: 18,000
- Boxing/MMA: 20,000
- Ice Hockey: 17,500
