MGM Grand Garden Arena

The MGM Grand Garden Arena is a multi-purpose hall on the Las Vegas Strip with a circular floor plan and several tiers of seating that rise toward the roof of the building. The stage can be positioned at different points within the space, creating varied sightlines and distances for attendees.

The arena was built during the mid-nineties and opened to the public at the end of 1993. The site developed over the following years into a central location for major entertainment events in Nevada.

The venue regularly hosts major boxing matches, concerts, professional wrestling events, and award ceremonies including the Latin Grammy Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards.

The hall is part of a large hotel complex and can be accessed through several entrances that lead to different areas inside. The seating arrangement changes depending on the type of event, so it helps to check in advance which entrance and section you need.

A series of boxing matches held in this building reached a global audience and gave the site a reputation as a location for major sporting events. The final public appearance of a well-known musician before a tragic incident in 1996 also took place here.
