What it means for locals and visitors
Expect award-week crowds, red-carpet activity and extra traffic around MGM Grand and the Tropicana Avenue corridor, especially Thursday afternoon and evening. It also lands one week before the Las Vegas Grand Prix, so the south Strip will already be busy with race setup and overnight lane cuts.
Driver tip: For MGM Grand pickups and drop-offs Thursday, build in extra time, use the resort’s designated rideshare area, and consider Koval Lane or Frank Sinatra Drive to skip Strip gridlock near Tropicana.
