The Las Vegas Raiders rolled out a new premium pregame tailgating experience Thursday, showing an all-you-can-eat-and-drink hospitality layout for 20 fans in a lot outside Allegiant Stadium that will cost $20,000/game for the complete deal.

It does not include a game ticket.

But the Raiders can sell you a ticket, too, if you buy the $20,000 luxury tailgate space and need admission.

The Raiders will have four of these high-end, climate-controlled set-ups in Lot B near the Hacienda Bridge on the north side of the domed stadium,.

Panos Pappas, Raiders VP of sales and service, said the NFL team is offering the $20,000 tailgating experience in response to fans who inquired about an outdoor tailgate service.

“We do all the food for you,” Pappas said.

There’s a top-deck 208-square-foot veranda, while inside the portable entertainment center there will be a 55-inch 4K smart HDTV to catch games before the Raiders tilts.

The Raiders are the latest NFL team to sign up for the premium tailgating gear manufactured by Party Shack, which has contracts for outdoor tailgating services with the Kansas City Chiefs, Cleveland Browns, Washington Commanders and Jacksonville Jaguars, said Bobby Bowers, Party Shack owner. The Chiefs use the highest number of these portable hospitality products with 12 before their games, Bowers said.

Party Shack even supplies party “tailgate” gear inside the stadiums of the Tampa Bay Bucs and the Tennessee Titans, Bowers said.

High-end fan experiences are part of the stadium and arena scenes these days. The Athletics say they are planning to have the highest percentage of premium seating if any stadium in the majors when they open their new 33,000-seat domed ballpark in Las Vegas in 2028.

And don’t forget Formula 1 Las Vegas, which has its road race here in Las Vegas in November. F1 markets its tickets to high rollers who can afford to pay for lavish food/beverage spreads and race experiences.

The Raiders will start selling the 20-fan tailgating deals for $20,000 in July.
