Las Vegas has the strictest bag policy on the calendar. Clear bags only for anything larger than a small clutch. No exceptions, no storage options if you get it wrong.
For backpacks and totes, only transparent clear bags are permitted. Maximum dimensions are 12" × 6" × 12" (approximately 30 × 15 × 30 cm). A standard black backpack — even a small one — will not pass security.
Non-transparent small bags are allowed for clutches and fanny packs only, up to 6" × 9". You may carry one clear bag and one small non-transparent clutch.
Summary
Flag poles are the most commonly confiscated item — even if the flag itself is permitted. Leave the pole at your hotel and attach your flag to the railing instead.
No outside food or drink is permitted. Many 3-day grandstand tickets include food and non-alcoholic drinks as part of the package — check what your specific ticket tier includes before deciding what to carry in.
There is no bag storage at the venue. If security rejects your bag, the only option is to walk it back to your hotel — which could mean 20–30 minutes each way depending on where you're staying relative to your gate. Check your bag before you leave your room.
