The Vegas Golden Knights kick off season two after their unexpected, unlikely, and unbelievable inaugural season that landed the hockey team in the Stanley Cup Finals. While it’s unexpected that a city in the middle of the desert could become a bonafide hockey town, yet here the Golden Knights are, ready to take to the ice again with a legion of fans in their wake. Thousands of fans get ready to cheer on the NHL expansion team on their home ice at T-Mobile Arena. Here’s where to eat while rooting for Vegas’ home team.
Dining Highlights at T-Mobile Arena
Tail & Fin
Like Las Vegas itself, sushi burritos are so unusual they’re kind of brilliant. Tail & Fin, which was created by former Nobu executive chef Karu Wedhas, has two locations within T-Mobile Arena. The casual fusion restaurant lets hockey fans create custom sushi burritos or choose from signature options. A must-try when cheering on the Golden Knights is The Golden Knight sushi burrito itself, which features salmon, surimi, pineapple, and jalapeño. Sections 19 and 219.
Pizza Forte
This New York-style pizzeria offers pies crafted with 30-year-old family recipes along with sandwiches, meatballs, and even hot dogs. For a hearty arena meal that pairs perfectly with a tall beer, diners should try the meatballs with grilled crostini. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Sections 1 and 11.
Rollin’ Smoke Barbecue
Rollin’ Smoke is a Las Vegas barbecue favorite featuring smoked meats and sides. This father-and-son-owned spot makes for a welcome addition to T-Mobile Area. Barbecue lovers should try the signature smoked meatloaf sandwich. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Section 10.
Chronic Tacos
Every day is Taco Tuesday at Chronic Tacos. The creative taco spot serves authentic yet accessible Mexican menu items with a focus on game-day-inspired fare such as the beer-battered shrimp tacos. Vegetarian and vegan options available in Section 20 only. Sections 20 and 209.
Shake Shack
From juicy burgers and smothered cheese fries to frozen custard loaded with cake and pie, Shake Shack offers a gourmet — and indulgent — take on the burger and fries concept. The much-loved chain makes an appearance at T-Mobile Arena with its classic beef patties and hand spun shakes. Shake Shack novices and devotees alike should order the ShackBurger topped with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Section 20.
Pink’s Hot Dogs
The original Pink’s Hot Dogs is a Los Angeles icon, so it’s a nice nod to California transplants (and converted L.A. Kings fans) to see several of the Las Vegas locations inside the T-Mobile Arena. Diners can customize their hot dogs or order unique creations. Sections 3, 18, and 213.
Goose Island Lounge
Goose Island Lounge is T-Mobile Arena’s only sit-down restaurant. Featuring views of Toshiba Plaza and a rotating menu with everything from prime rib to a raw bar, this lounge is only available to premium ticket holders. Third Floor.
Cool Intentions
For those who think that ice hockey and ice cream are an inspired pairing, there’s Cool Intentions. The fast-casual ice cream shop serves soft serve, Dippin’ Dots, cinnamon glazed nuts, and other sweet treats. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Section 6.
Hyde Lounge
Hyde Lounge spans 18,000 square feet at the top of the arena with two event spaces, the Stella Artois Lounge and Grey Goose Lounge. Hyde features bottle service, banquette couches, DJs, VIP elevator access, food, and skyline views of the Strip. Only available to premium ticket holders. Tower Level
