There’s something different about taking your team on the road.
For Miami Dolphins fans, it’s the chance to trade the familiar South Florida sunshine for a new city, pull on those aqua-and-orange colors somewhere unexpected and let everyone know where you’re from. And when the destination is Las Vegas — and the opponent is the Raiders — the season opener becomes more than a game. It’s a football weekend with a little extra edge.
So why rush in for kickoff and head home the next morning?
With help from Skyscanner, Dolphins fans can turn a road game into a full getaway, building a trip around the total experience, from touchdown at LAS to the last PAT kick. As the Miami Dolphins’ first-ever Official Travel Partner, Skyscanner has launched a dedicated Miami Dolphins Travel Planner designed to help fans compare flights, hotels and car rentals throughout the NFL season.
Make the Las Vegas opener the first of many victory celebrations. But while you’re in Las Vegas, spend a little time in town. Find a flight that lets you settle in before game day. Pick a hotel that puts you closer to the action. Add a rental car if you want to see what lies beyond the Strip.
The mission is yours if you choose to accept it: build an epic football weekend that will go down in history.
Start with the flight — and make it part of the game plan
Skyscanner makes getting the right flight easy by putting your choices in one place, bringing together flight options from a broad range of airlines and travel partners so you can compare fares, schedules and itineraries before deciding what fits your schedule and wallet.
Travelers can play around with their dates and departure times to see how a little flexibility changes the trip. Take an extra afternoon in Las Vegas. Stay another night so you can enjoy the postgame atmosphere without worrying about an early-morning airport run.
And if you’re not ready to book, Skyscanner’s price-monitoring tools can help you keep an eye on fares as you figure out when to pull the trigger.
For fans making the trip, that flexibility is part of the fun. You’re not just booking a flight to a game — you’re figuring out how to get the most out of the weekend.
Don’t let the stadium be the only destination
Las Vegas hardly needs an introduction, but a football weekend gives Dolphins fans another reason to explore it.
Once the tickets are secured, the hotel is the next piece of the puzzle. Skyscanner lets travelers compare accommodations across different areas, price points and styles, making it easier to look beyond whatever hotel happens to be closest to the stadium.
Allegiant Stadium sits just west of the South Strip, making Mandalay Bay and Delano the ultimate upscale, walkable basecamps for game day. For classic luxury and mid-Strip energy, choose the fountains at Bellagio or the Roman grandeur of Caesars Palace.
The point is to think about the entire trip and not just where you’ll sleep after the game (after all, a road-game weekend should have some stories that happen outside the stadium, too).
Put some wheels on the weekend
For fans who want to venture beyond the Strip, Skyscanner can also help compare car rental options.
Having a car can give travelers more freedom to explore Las Vegas and the surrounding area, whether that means adding an attraction to the itinerary, getting out of the center of town or turning the football trip into a longer Nevada escape.
It can also provide another transportation option during a packed game weekend, when rideshare demand and prices can fluctuate. By comparing rental cars alongside flights and hotels, fans can decide whether having their own wheels fits the way they want to spend the weekend.
Make the Las Vegas opener the beginning
The best part of a road game is that the memories don’t have to end when the clock hits zero.
The Las Vegas opener is just the first opportunity for Dolphins fans to follow their team beyond Miami. Throughout the NFL season, fans can return to the Miami Dolphins Travel Planner on Skyscanner to compare flights, hotels and car rentals for future home and away games.
Whether the plan is a quick Vegas escape, an extended football weekend or a bigger trip built around following the Dolphins on the road, Skyscanner gives fans the tools to shape the journey around the way they want to travel.
Because when you’re proud to be a Dolphins fan, there’s no reason to experience the road game from the road alone.
