LAS VEGAS -- T-Mobile Arena sits on the Las Vegas strip surrounded by hotels. For now it's hosting special events like WWE this past weekend, MMA fights, concerts and is on the verge of getting a brand new tennant.

Since we're in town for the NHL Awards, we figured we'd take the opportunity to check out the brand new arena. We walked skeptical and walked away absolutely stunned - in a good way - and down right jealous of the new digs in Vegas.

Our tour guide was Director of Event Marketing and Communications for T-Mobile Arena Gina Rotolo. Whenever we brought up hockey, she coyly mentioned, "As of right now, we don't have a team."

Here's a couple photo collages of the many, many picture we took of the inside of the area. We'll point out some of what we learned and what everything is.

Spoiler alert: nothing hockey related are in these pictures. Which is so curious as to why the NHL wouldn't want those kind of photos taken because as Rotolo said Vegas doesn't have a hockey team. We weren't even allowed to see anything related to a hypothetical hockey team's operations.

OUTSIDE ARENA

It was approximately 234980 degrees fahrenheit outside in Las Vegas on Tuesday, so we didn't spent too much time outside.

The top two pictures are of the space in front of the arena where they can hold a large amount of fans for rallies and events. The second picture on the right is some interesting naked lady artwork out in front of the arena with picnic tables for people to hang out when the temperature isn't borderline surface of the sun.

The rest of the pictures are lounge areas accessible from inside the arena.

ENTRANCE & MAIN CONCOURSE

The first and second picture on in the right column are what greets visitors at the main entrance. From there people can go around the arena or up the various ramps, stairs, escalators and elevators to the many bars, lounges, and other spots in the arena.

The middle picture on the third row is the BIGGEST escalator we've ever seen and the picture cuts it off. Rotolo hasn't gotten confirmation, but she believes it's not the largest indoor straight up and down escalator in at least North America.

Since T-Mobile is the named sponsor of the magenta color of the brand is seen throughout the entire arena. There are also charging stations for all phones throughout the arena and in every suite.
