On Thursday, Zoox and the 20,000-seat home of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights - not to mention UFC fights, concerts and the NBA Cup semifinals and finals - unveiled a multiyear agreement that aims to create "a new standard for venue accessibility and fan convenience." Zoox has been offering free trips to five other locations on the Las Vegas Strip since September as it rolls out its service. As T-Mobile's new "official venue partner," it's scheduled in early 2026 to become available to riders going to and from the arena from another location on and around the Strip. A dedicated Zoox pickup and drop-off lane at the West VIP entrance will be established.

(T-Mobile, which opened in April 2016 and hosts more than 1 million visitors and 100-plus events annually, is a privately funded joint venture between AEG and MGM Resorts International.) "This represents a transformative moment for both T-Mobile Arena and the future of transportation in Las Vegas," Sally Bae, senior vp global partnerships for AEG in Las Vegas, said in a statement. "By integrating Zoox's innovative autonomous vehicle technology into our venue operations, we're not only enhancing accessibility for the millions of fans who visit us but also reinforcing our commitment to bringing cutting-edge experiences to our guests. This collaboration sets a new benchmark for how premier entertainment venues can embrace the future of mobility." The Sphere also is set to become an available stop to riders next year. "Zoox is redefining how people move through Las Vegas - in a purpose-built robotaxi that extends the curated experience beyond the arena, keeping the energy alive so you can savor the moment with friends," said Zoox chief product officer Michael White. "As we continue our Las Vegas service expansion, adding premier destinations like T-Mobile Arena demonstrates our commitment to connecting riders to the experiences that matter most." The company says it plans to introduce paid rides as a next step and upon receiving regulatory approval.
