The Allegiant Stadium bag limit is 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and the fallback costs $20
The Allegiant Stadium bag limit is 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches for a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag, verified September 2026. One clutch of 4.5 by 6.5 by 2 inches rides along with it. Every other bag goes to a bag check window at $20 per bag, non-refundable and cashless.
The second figure is the one the measurement hides. Dimensions sit on the Allegiant Stadium bag check policy page and again in its A to Z guide, so the size itself is easy to find. Neither page spells out the sequence that starts when a bag fails, and that sequence ends at a cashier window outside the building rather than at a shelf inside it.
| Item at an Allegiant Stadium gate, read September 2026 | What Allegiant Stadium publishes | What it costs when it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag | Must not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″ | n/a, this bag enters |
| Small clutch bag, purse or wallet | 4.5″ x 6.5″ x 2″ or smaller, allowed in addition to one approved clear bag | n/a, this bag enters |
| Backpack, cinch bag or fanny pack | Named on the prohibited items list at any size | $20 per bag at bag check, non-refundable |
| Diaper bag | Named on the prohibited items list, with no published exception | $20 per bag at bag check, non-refundable |
| Stroller | Prohibited from entering Allegiant Stadium | $20.00 at bag check |
| Cooler, briefcase, luggage, computer bag or camera bag | Named on the prohibited items list at any size | $20 per bag at bag check, non-refundable |
| Necessary medical items | An exception is made, subject to inspection prior to entry | $0, the exception is published |
Two of those rows carry a price that a family pays twice. A stroller and a diaper bag arriving together are two separate $20 charges, and Allegiant Stadium publishes no bundle, no family rate and no cap.
The Raiders site points at the Allegiant Stadium bag rule and prints no size of its own
One issuer sets carry-in sizes at Allegiant Stadium. The Las Vegas Raiders Know Before You Go page carries a link labeled BAG POLICY that resolves to allegiantstadium.com, and it prints no dimension of its own, read September 2026. The measurement belongs to the building, not to the team playing in it.
That matters more in Las Vegas than it would elsewhere, because the calendar is not one tenant. A Raiders Sunday, a UNLV Saturday and a stadium concert all inherit the same 12 by 6 by 12 box. The clock is the variable: all gates open 2 hours prior to kickoff for Raiders games and 90 minutes prior to kickoff for UNLV games, according to Allegiant Stadium.
Screening is not optional either. All guests and their belongings are subject to a security screening on entry, and guests that refuse the search will not be admitted, in the stadium’s own wording read September 2026. Bag rule and screening rule are the same checkpoint.
Two bags clear the Allegiant Stadium gate and the refusal list names the rest
Two things get into Allegiant Stadium, and the rejects are enumerated by name. Bags must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and must not exceed 12″ x 6″ x 12″. Small clutch bags, purses, or wallets, 4.5″ x 6.5″ x 2″ or smaller can be taken into the stadium in addition to one of the approved clear bags, verified September 2026.
The refusal list runs longer and more specific than the permission. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, purses larger than 4.5″ x 6.5″ x 2″, coolers, briefcases, diaper bags, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, seat cushions, luggage of any kind, computer bags, and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.
Six words in that sentence do the real work: include, but are not limited to. An open list means a bag type that never appears in print is not approved by its absence, and the call falls to the screener holding it. Color is the other trap. A tinted or smoked plastic tote inside the inches still misses the words clear plastic, vinyl or PVC, and no sale or giveaway of conforming clear bags appears anywhere on the stadium’s published bag pages, read September 2026.
Three Allegiant Stadium bag check windows, at Lot B, Polaris Avenue and Lot E
Three bag check locations serve the building, and Allegiant Stadium charges $20 per bag, non-refundable, with cashless payment only. Debit, credit and mobile payment such as Apple Pay or Google Pay are the accepted methods, verified September 2026. The windows sit outside the security line, on three different sides of the building.
| Bag check window at Allegiant Stadium, read September 2026 | Where the stadium places it | Price and payment | Hours it operates |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Bag Check | Lot B, south of Hacienda Avenue | $20 per bag, non-refundable, cashless | Opens when stadium entries open, closes 1 hour post-event |
| West Bag Check | 5455 Polaris Avenue | $20 per bag, non-refundable, cashless | Opens when stadium entries open, closes 1 hour post-event |
| East Bag Check | Lot E | $20 per bag, non-refundable, cashless | Opens when stadium entries open, closes 1 hour post-event |
| Unclaimed bag after closing | Moved to Allegiant Stadium lost and found | n/a, no published storage fee | Lost and found holds items 14 days, then disposes or donates |
North Bag Check decides most cases, because Lot B sits south of Hacienda Avenue and Hacienda is the street that carries pedestrians in from Las Vegas Boulevard. A guest walking over from a Strip hotel meets that window before meeting a gate. Guests arriving from the west side on Polaris Avenue and from the east side in Lot E pay the same price at a different address.
Absences around these windows decide as many cases as the printed rules. No advance reservation, no capacity figure, no per-guest bag limit and no queue time appears on either the bag check policy page or the A to Z guide, read September 2026. Turning up with three bags to check is a plan with no published ceiling.
What a refused bag costs by the way a guest reached Allegiant Stadium
The published remedy costs $20 for everyone, and the unpublished remedy costs nothing for exactly one group. No instruction telling a refused guest to return the bag to a vehicle appears in the Allegiant Stadium rules, so walking it back to a car is a physical option rather than a published one, and it exists only when a car is parked within reach.
| How a guest reached Allegiant Stadium | What a refused bag costs | What it costs in time | Which option wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drove into a stadium lot A, B, C, E, F, G, H or J | $0 when the bag goes back to the car | One round trip on foot from the gate to the lot | The car, because the bag is already inside a paid space |
| Walked from Las Vegas Boulevard over the Hacienda Bridge | $20 per bag at North Bag Check in Lot B | 0.3 miles and 10 to 15 minutes back to the Strip, each way | Bag check, because the return walk costs more than $20 of time |
| Arrived by rideshare in Lot N, 5285 Dean Martin Drive | $20 per bag at bag check | Waiting out a second rideshare in a pre-event surge | Bag check, because the car left with the driver |
| Rode the RTC Game Day Express from a partner resort | $20 per bag at bag check | Service runs about every 30 minutes, so a round trip burns an hour | Bag check, because the coach schedule does not wait |
| Arrived with a stroller and a diaper bag | $40 for the pair at bag check | One queue, two transactions | Repack, because a clear 12 by 6 by 12 bag absorbs the diaper contents for $0 |
Only the last row lets a decision made at the hotel change the number at the gate. Diaper contents that move into a conforming clear bag leave one item to check instead of two, and the family pays $20 for the stroller rather than $40 for the pair. Nothing in the published rules blocks that repack, because the ban is written against the diaper bag as an object and not against what it carries.
One asymmetry runs through the whole table. Drivers hold the only free remedy, and drivers are also the group least likely to need it, since a car trunk absorbs the bag before anyone walks toward a gate. Guests who need bag check are the ones who came on foot, in somebody else’s car or on a coach, which in Las Vegas is most of the building.
Medical items pass, diaper bags do not, and strollers ride at $20
Allegiant Stadium publishes exactly one carry-in exception. An exception will be made for any necessary medical items, but all such items are subject to inspection prior to entry into Allegiant Stadium, verified September 2026. The operative words are items and inspection, not bag and size.
Reading that as a size waiver for a medical bag is where the exception stops being safe. The published text covers the necessary items, gives no dimension for the container carrying them, and routes everything through a screener at the door. A guest whose medication travels inside a backpack holds a bag named on the prohibited list wrapped around an item named on the exception list.
Diaper bags get no such sentence. They appear on the prohibited items list beside coolers and briefcases, and no exception for guests traveling with an infant appears on the bag check policy page or in the A to Z guide, read September 2026. Strollers are handled differently again: strollers are prohibited from entering Allegiant Stadium, and strollers can be checked in at bag check for $20.00, in the stadium’s own wording.
Three cases split three ways at the same door. Medical items enter, strollers get a published price, and diaper bags get neither an entry nor an exception, only the same $20 window every other refused bag uses.
Published details that change what a guest carries into Allegiant Stadium
Six published figures decide how much time a bag mistake costs at Allegiant Stadium, all read September 2026.
- Bag check opens the same time stadium entries open and closes one hour post-event, so window and gate share an opening moment and their queues form together.
- All gates open 2 hours prior to kickoff for Raiders games and 90 minutes prior to kickoff for UNLV games, which sets how much slack exists before a repack turns into a missed kickoff.
- The Hacienda Bridge runs 0.3 miles from its east side to the stadium gate, a 10 to 15 minute walk, and the path in from Las Vegas Boulevard runs less than 1 mile and is closed to all vehicular traffic on game and select event days.
- Rideshare pickup and dropoff sits in Lot N at 5285 Dean Martin Drive, with additional rideshare arranged at Mandalay Bay and Luxor and reached over that same bridge.
- The RTC Game Day Express runs six routes for Raiders home games, from Red Rock Casino Resort Spa, Green Valley Ranch Resort, Santa Fe Station Casino, Sam’s Town Hotel and Gambling Hall, Aliante Casino Hotel Spa and M Resort Spa Casino, with first departure 30 minutes prior to gates opening and service about every 30 minutes.
- Tailgating is allowed at approximately 6,000 parking spaces across lots A, B, C, E, F, G, H and J plus offsite lots S, V, W and X and the Dewey Lot, which is where a car sits when it doubles as free bag storage.
Where an Allegiant Stadium bag plan comes apart before the gate scan
Four assumptions break at the Allegiant Stadium door, and three of them cost $20 each. The first treats the prohibited list as closed. It reads include, but are not limited to, so a bag type absent from the print is not approved by that absence, and the screener decides in real time.
The second misreads the shape of the exception. Necessary medical items are covered; the bag carrying them is not, and a backpack around a medication pouch is still a backpack at the checkpoint.
Third comes timing at the back end. Bag check closes one hour post-event, and bags remaining after bag check closes will be returned to lost and found, which holds items 14 days and then disposes of them or donates them to a charitable organization. Anyone who leaves through the far side of the building and straight into a rideshare queue has abandoned a $20 deposit and started a 14 day clock.
Fourth is re-entry. Allegiant Stadium is a no re-entry facility, and once a guest has exited the facility, their ticket will not be valid for entry again, verified September 2026. Stepping out to fix a bag problem after the scan is not a recoverable move; the fix has to happen before the ticket is used.
How every figure in this guide was checked, issuer by issuer
Every measurement, price and hour above comes from allegiantstadium.com, read on 3 September 2026: the bag check policy page for the dimensions, the three window locations, the $20 charge and the cashless payment methods, and the A to Z guide for the prohibited items list, the medical exception, the stroller rule, the no re-entry rule, gate times and the 14 day lost and found window. The Las Vegas Raiders Know Before You Go page was read the same day and carries a link to the stadium policy with no figures of its own. The RTC of Southern Nevada newsroom returned HTTP 403 to a plain request on 3 September 2026, so its Game Day Express route list is quoted here as Allegiant Stadium publishes it.
The figures in this guide were verified in September 2026 against the sources named in each section. Bag rules change between seasons, gate times change by event type and by tenant, and event schedules change weekly; check the issuer’s page before you travel.
Questions Allegiant Stadium ticket holders ask about bags
The answers below come from the Allegiant Stadium bag check policy page and A to Z guide, and from the Las Vegas Raiders Know Before You Go page, all read on 3 September 2026.
Bags must be clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and must not exceed 12 by 6 by 12 inches, per Allegiant Stadium verified September 2026. One small clutch bag, purse or wallet of 4.5 by 6.5 by 2 inches or smaller may be carried in addition to one approved clear bag.
Prohibited items include, but are not limited to, purses larger than 4.5 by 6.5 by 2 inches, coolers, briefcases, diaper bags, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, seat cushions, luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags, per Allegiant Stadium read September 2026. The list is open, so an unnamed bag can still be refused at the gate.
Three bag check windows operate at Allegiant Stadium: North Bag Check in Lot B south of Hacienda Avenue, West Bag Check at 5455 Polaris Avenue and East Bag Check in Lot E. Each charges $20 per bag, non-refundable and cashless, verified September 2026.
No. Diaper bags sit on the Allegiant Stadium prohibited items list, and no exception for guests traveling with an infant appears on the bag check policy page or in the A to Z guide, read September 2026. The published exception covers necessary medical items only, subject to inspection.
No. Strollers are prohibited from entering Allegiant Stadium and can be checked in at bag check for $20.00, in the stadium’s own wording verified September 2026. A stroller plus a diaper bag is therefore two separate charges, or $40 before anyone reaches a seat.
Bag check opens the same time stadium entries open and closes one hour post-event, per Allegiant Stadium read September 2026. Bags remaining after it closes are returned to lost and found, which holds items 14 days before disposing of them or donating them to a charitable organization.
A bag rule with a cashier attached is a pricing decision as much as a security one
A clear bag policy usually ends at the measurement and leaves the guest to solve the rest. Allegiant Stadium finished the sentence: three windows, a price of $20 per bag, cash removed from the transaction, and a one hour post-event deadline on collection. That is a complete system, and it is also a revenue line that charges only the guests who did not drive.
Which turns the 12 by 6 by 12 box into a question answered at the hotel, not at the gate.
