The Las Vegas Raiders have introduced a brand new luxury tailgate suites at Allegiant Stadium ahead of the 2024 NFL season.

Allegiant Stadium, which opened during the Las Vegas Raiders’ first year in Sin City during the 2020 season, is widely regarded as one of the best (if not the best) NFL stadiums. The “Death Star” has a reputation for providing fans with one of the best gameday experiences, even though the football team has been mired in mediocrity for a while now.

Per Case Keefer of the Las Vegas Sun, the Raiders have introduced a new luxury tailgating space in the Allegiant Stadium parking lot. The all-inclusive packages start at a whopping $20,000 per unit:

“The Raiders’ “premium tailgate” will include top-shelf beverages, a special food menu, traditional games like cornhole, two seating areas and an enclosed lounge with a television for watching the early slate of NFL games.

They are designed to accommodate 15-20 guests, and include both an air-conditioned interior as well as an awning over an outdoor, ground-level seating space and a tentlike cover of a deck up top accessible by a spiraled, metal staircase.”
