will set a new standard for what entertainment means in the city
that does it best. The 20,000-seat T-Mobile Arena will host
exciting, world-class events with something for everyone − from

awards shows and top-name concerts.
“We’re going to light up Las Vegas in magenta and give everyone
who visits T-Mobile Arena a chance to experience what it means to
be Un-carrier!” said Mike Sievert, chief operating officer of
T-Mobile. “T-Mobile Arena will have the biggest shows in a town
known for big shows and T-Mobile customers will always be treated
like VIPs with priority access and exclusive benefits.”

America’s fastest 4G LTE network throughout Las Vegas, and at
T-Mobile Arena, they will always get the Un-carrier VIP treatment.
T-Mobile customers will get unique benefits like a dedicated
fast-track VIP venue entrance at every event. At select events,
they can access event tickets and premium VIP experiences reserved
exclusively for T-Mobile customers, pre-sales and seat upgrade
opportunities. Everyone at T-Mobile Arena will benefit from
charging stations located throughout the arena concourse.

highlighted by Hyde Lounge, an exclusive nightclub with unrivaled
views of all the sports and entertainment action below.
Todd Goldstein, chief revenue officer, AEG, said, “T-Mobile is
disruptive and irreverent − a perfect complement to our vision of
entertainment in Las Vegas. Their commitment to the best and the
most cutting-edge technology and customer experience makes them
ideal for Las Vegas’ newest showplace for the top sports and
entertainment events. There will be no finer destination to bring
T-Mobile’s Un-carrier revolution and tech innovation to life than
T-Mobile Arena where guests, performers and other partners will
truly benefit from the overall experience.”
MGM Resorts International’s President Bill Hornbuckle said,
“Today’s announcement highlights T-Mobile’s commitment to both its
customers and the community here in Las Vegas − the Entertainment
Capital of the World. T-Mobile has set itself apart through its
industry-changing Un-carrier moves that put the customer first.
Together with our arena founding partners, we will deliver even
more entertaining and engaging fan experiences in what is destined
to be one of the world’s leading arenas.”
