Four BTS concerts at Allegiant Stadium are set for May 23, 24, 27 and 28, with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. and showtime scheduled for 8 p.m.
Allegiant officials told fans to arrive early because heavy roadway congestion is expected before and after each show, while hot outdoor conditions could affect those walking to the venue.
Security rules require clear bags no larger than 12x6x12 inches; three cashless bag-check sites will charge a nonrefundable $20 per bag, and mobile tickets should be downloaded in advance.
Hacienda Bridge will be closed to vehicles for pedestrian access from the Strip, rideshare service will use Lot N, and single-event parking must be bought beforehand through SpotHero.
Merchandise sales begin May 22 in Lot H ahead of the sold-out run, which marks BTS's first full-group U.S. shows since their military hiatus.
