Job posting
Premium Runner at Allegiant Stadium | Las Vegas
Oak View Group is hiring a part-time Premium Runner at Allegiant Stadium, paying $15.94-$19.92 per hour plus tip eligibility under the union agreement.
Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada is unusual among NFL venues in that football is not really the point. The Raiders play about ten dates a year in it; the building was designed and financed to run as a year-round event venue in a city that already runs on hospitality labor. For someone looking for stadium work, that is the single most important fact about the place — the calendar is deeper and less seasonal than almost any other NFL market.
This page covers who hires at the venue after the 2025 operator change, what the roles pay, how Las Vegas labor context differs from other stadium markets, and the venue background worth knowing.
Who employs you at Allegiant Stadium
Food and beverage at Allegiant Stadium is operated by Oak View Group, which took over from Levy Restaurants in April 2025. That transition is worth understanding before you apply, because it tells you something about how the account is run: OVG retained roughly 95 percent of the existing staff and hired about 200 more people on top. It did not clear the roster and start over.
| Work | Employer | Application path |
|---|---|---|
| Concessions, clubs, suites, bars, kitchens | Oak View Group | OVG Hospitality careers portal |
| Guest services, ushers, ticket takers | Stadium operations (Raiders / venue) | Raiders careers site |
| Event security and screening | Contracted security vendor | Vendor hiring events |
| Housekeeping and post-event cleaning | Contracted janitorial vendor | Vendor application |
| Parking and traffic direction | Contracted parking operator | Vendor application |
Pay and labor context in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is not a typical stadium labor market. Hospitality here is a primary industry rather than a side economy, which changes three things for stadium applicants:
- The competition for staff is real. You are applying against casinos and resorts on the Strip, not only against other venues. Operators know that, and stadium rates have to be competitive with resort work.
- Organized labor is a live factor. The Culinary Union (UNITE HERE Local 226) is the dominant hospitality union in the market and represents workers across the Strip corridor. Whether a particular stadium classification is covered varies — ask directly about union status, dues, and the applicable wage scale during hiring rather than assuming either way.
- Cross-venue work is normal. Many people here work stadium events alongside resort, convention, or arena shifts. Experience elsewhere in Las Vegas hospitality carries weight on a stadium application in a way it would not in a smaller market.
Nevada’s minimum wage is $12.00 an hour. Stadium hospitality at Allegiant starts above that: entry-level concessions roles have typically posted in the mid-to-high teens, with premium service and bar roles higher once gratuity share is counted. Rates in this market move, so confirm the number in the official listing.
| Role | What it involves | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Concessions stand attendant | In-bowl service and restocking | Highest headcount; easiest entry point |
| Premium runner | Food delivery to suites and premium clubs | Fast-paced; strong route awareness needed |
| Club and lounge server | Wynn Field Club, Modelo Cantina Club, Twitch Lounge | Gratuity share; prior service experience expected |
| Bartender | Bar service across the bowl and premium spaces | Alcohol-server card required |
| Line cook / prep | Kitchen production across a large culinary program | Steadier hours than in-bowl roles |
| Warehouse and stocking | Product movement before doors open | Early call times, physical work |
The event calendar, and why it matters more here
At most NFL stadiums, the football season is the job. At Allegiant, the football season is a fraction of it. The venue has hosted Super Bowl LVIII (2024), WrestleMania 41 (2025) and WrestleMania 42 (2026), and is scheduled to host the 2027 College Football Playoff National Championship, alongside UNLV football, concerts, combat sports, and international soccer.
For staffing that produces a distinctive pattern:
- July–August — the main seasonal intake ahead of NFL and UNLV football.
- September–January — the densest stretch: two football tenants plus the concert and convention calendar.
- Year-round — concerts, fight cards, and one-off events keep events on the board through the traditional off-season, which is why Las Vegas stadium work is less seasonal than most.
- Mega-event windows — a Super Bowl, WrestleMania, or championship game triggers a supplemental hiring wave separate from the regular intake, typically filled two to three months out. Existing event staff usually get first claim on those shifts, so the practical way into a mega-event is to already be on the roster.
Getting to work
- The stadium is at 3333 Al Davis Way, immediately west of the Strip resort corridor and just off Interstate 15.
- There is no rail service to the venue. Event staff typically drive or use employee shuttles; parking is tightly managed on event days and worker parking is assigned separately from fan lots. Confirm arrangements with your employer, not with the fan-facing parking map.
- The stadium is a fully enclosed, climate-controlled dome, which materially changes summer work compared with an open-air venue in the same desert climate. Load-in, warehouse, and exterior roles still work in the heat; in-bowl service does not.
- Call times for food and beverage staff generally run four to five hours before kickoff or doors.
