Event trip guides

Travel smart to your event.

You have the ticket. We plan the rest of the trip: flights in, the right hotel, dinner before, how you actually reach the door, where to park, and what to do with the day around it. One venue at a time, checked against primary sources.

Why this exists

Most venue “guides” have never been to the venue.

Search any arena and you get the same three pages: a reprinted seating chart, ten hotels with no idea which you can walk from, and “arrive early” without saying what early means.

None of it tells you the cheap lot is across a six-lane road, that rideshare adds thirty-five minutes on a sell-out night, or that the restaurant everyone recommends stops seating before the encore. That gap is the whole point of this site.

Every venue guide follows the same seven stages of the trip.

  1. 01

    Fly smart

    Which airport actually saves you time once traffic is counted.

  2. 02

    Stay smart

    Hotel clusters ranked by travel time to the door, not by commission.

  3. 03

    Eat before

    Named restaurants with addresses and last-seating times, not “options nearby”.

  4. 04

    Get to the door

    Transit, shuttles and rideshare pickup points, with honest timings.

  5. 05

    Park

    Every official lot mapped with price, entrance and walk time to the gate.

  6. 06

    Get in

    Entry system, bag rules, door times, and the mistakes that cost you an hour.

  7. 07

    After the show

    Egress reality, late food, and what to do with the rest of the weekend.

The list

Venues covered

Guides are published one at a time. A venue only goes live once the parking, transit and walking distances have been checked against primary sources.

Live guide

Intuit Dome

Inglewood, California · Los Angeles Clippers & concerts

Cashless, ticketless, and dropped into the densest event corridor in America, with SoFi Stadium and the Kia Forum next door. Parking is pre-purchase, the Metro station is further than it looks, and the difference between a good night and a bad one is decided before you leave the house.

    Who writes this

    Twenty-five years on the operating side of hospitality, not twenty-five destinations on a content calendar.

    I've spent my career running and repositioning hotels: operations, asset management, feasibility, development. I've sat on the side of the desk that decides how many people a property can absorb on a sell-out night, what a shuttle actually costs, and why the front desk is buried at 11pm when an event lets out.

    That's the lens here. These guides are written the way I'd brief an owner or a group before an event, logistics first, opinions clearly labelled as opinions, and no recommendation I wouldn't make to someone paying me for advice.

    When a page links to a booking or parking site and I earn a commission, it says so on the page. It doesn't change what gets recommended or the order things are listed in.
