City National Arena

EASILY the nicest facility I've been to. Everything there is high end high quality especially the staff in the the Knights arsenal store. Very impressed wish we had as nice of a setup in our home town. Also extremely cool that you can come watch the Knights practice for free! The kids that get to play here very fortunate to have such a great place to grow and learn the greatest sport!

The Building itself, outside is nice located in a good area. Inside could have needed more bar stools and table around the lobby or waiting area and not just the restaurant upstairs, would've been better for parents to hangout and wait comfortably. The rink has bright glass windows that are blinding people especially if the game is during the day. A good shade in those glass windows would be great.

Very impressed as this is the first time as of Las Vegas local I was at the stadium. Very clean besides the places where people sit. Which that is a given. Amazing snack shop as well as a couple gift shops. It's actually not as cold as I think even though it's a hockey stadium. So bravo to you by keeping the temperature where it needs to be. Lots of smiling faces and happy energy coming out of the building

This is a first class facility. The retail store is massive with a terrific selection. 2 rinks to please everyone.

City National Arena in Summerlin is a top-notch facility with clean rinks, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere for hockey fans. Perfect place to watch the Golden Knights practice or enjoy skating.

Here is a review around 225 characters: "Electric atmosphere! Watching the Golden Knights practice is a blast, and the facility is always clean. Great ice for public skating, plus MacKenzie River Pizza is the perfect spot to grab a bite while watching the action."

Great facility — very clean, and the staff on-site is solid and attentive. However, the men’s league is an absolute mess, and it comes down to leadership. The head scorekeeper, Tina, operates with an alarming level of incompetence and territorial behavior. While she technically does not “run” the league, she exerts control over it in a way that is overbearing and unprofessional, treating it more like a personal fiefdom than an organized men’s league. The referees she brings in are consistently unqualified and clearly lack the ability to properly manage or officiate men’s league games. This leads to unchecked cheap shots, chippy play, and games escalating into unnecessary blowouts and unsafe situations. Player safety is clearly not a priority. There also appears to be obvious favoritism toward certain teams (cough, cough — Golden Girls), which further undermines fairness and credibility within the league. If you value staying healthy and being able to go to work the next day, I’d strongly recommend playing elsewhere — Henderson or another rink altogether. As it stands, this league feels like a Mickey Mouse operation that desperately needs oversight and restructuring.

Open skate is great, incredible pricing. Ice is high quality. Facilities are good with a pro shop, skate rental, coffee bar, and full restaurant/bar upstairs. Everyone seemed friendly and the rink guards were very reasonable about keeping everything safe but fun.

I absolutely love CNA and how it's advanced hockey in Las Vegas due to the Golden Knights! The facility is usually always clean and easy to figure out where things are, either by asking the front desk, reading signs, or looking at the schedule. The rinks are very cold, so come prepared with layers. Also, they will blast music very loudly, so you may need headphones if you're sensitive to sounds. The Arsenal has so many options for VGK and HSK gear, but very much on the pricey side. The skate shop isn't as stocked as other skate shops in the valley, but it's definitely growing. My one complaint is for (who I'm assuming was) the manager/head of the skate shop. What was supposed to be a quick skate-fitting turned into over an hour because he wasn't there when he said he would be. He was also vaping during the meeting, which just seems inappropriate considering all the children and families CNA brings in. Just not a good representation of CNA or the Knights.

What a treat this was! Going to an ice skating ring in Las Vegas! I didn't even know they had an ice skating rink! A great time was enjoyed by the entire family! Watching my gdtr skate was such a treat! The only thing that would have made this an even better experience is if I didn't have to listen to a mother sitting next to me degrade her child on the ice! This small girl whom I thought was doing great and practicing her moves was so defeated and degraded by her mother that it broke my heart! I had to listen to this women be SO mean I almost wanted to slap her! This aside I think this rink is an excellent establishment and fun was had by all!

Came out to Las Vegas to attend and watch my buddy's daughters hockey tournament. First time here, fairly new, and it's the training facility of the NHL hockey team, the Golden Knights. Since it's new, everything is great and clean, the two ice rinks were top notch. Great to see the city embrace hockey and their pro team, but since I'm a fan of another NHL team, I'm considered an enemy of hockey. With that said, still happy that the love of hockey is growing in Vegas.

Dress appropriately! The rink is cold bring a heavy coat or jacket. Helmets are recommended for all skaters any certified safety helmet qualifies. They offer helmets to rent with an ID at the Skate Rental counter. Gloves are STRONGLY encouraged for all skaters. Not only will gloves keep your hands warm, but they can also provide a level of protection for your skin if you fall on the ice. Long pants and one pair of socks that come above the ankle are also encouraged. All guests $10.00, Military (must show valid ID) $7.00 Any Skate Rental needed is $3.00 in addition to those prices. Walkers are Free and available on a first come, first served basis. Adults can help kids get the walkers onto the ice. They have annual passes that cost $375 which is valid for 1 year from the date you purchase till the next year same day. Everything is final and non refundable.

Clean facilities, 2 bathrooms for each side of the arena aka no line(!), and great lighting for all my Mom photo needs. Lower level snack bar has great custom coffee, first come first serve packaged sandwiches and pick-me-ups, gatorade, water, etc. The vending machines INSIDE the rinks were the hidden gem I didn't realize until the last day of my kid's tournament. At the time I went, there was NO stadium uncharge on the candy, chips or soda. $1.50 bags of chips, $2.50 20oz Sprite / Coke, etc. LVGK store had a nice selection of merchandise if you're a fan. The black Friday sale had lines out the door! I didn't see a restaurant open at the time we went but it's close to a handful of options in the shopping plaza OR the food court at Red Rock. Capriotti's makes a solid sandwich and I love the Side slice pizza there too. Temperature is cold but not bone chilling. They do a good job of regulating and keeping it maintained. Probably because the Henderson Knights also practice here...which is fun if you get to watch a practice too. They're so fast and powerful.

The gift shop is far too expensive to buy anything. You can find the same stuff and other places cheaper, but I love going here to watch the Stanley Cup champions Vegas Golden Knights practice.

I went during the summer and the ice was amazing, despite the heat. The facilities are impeccable and I was even able to book a last minute private skating lesson. I will definitely be making this part of my Vegas trips from now on.

City National Arena is the practice facility and team headquarters of the Vegas Golden Knights, NHL. The arena opened in September 18, 2017. It's located in Summerlin off of the 215/Charleston exit, right next to the Downtown Summerlin mall area. This arena is leveraged for Vegas Golden Knights practices, hockey programs, private skating and a lot more! There is also the Arsenal Pro Shop inside which has a wide variety of NHL apparel and toys. The MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub located inside the City National Arena. At the restaurant, you can watch the game or other sports that may be playing. There is a lot to do inside the City National Arena. If you're in the area, you should stop by and check it out! Spacious amount of parking spots are available.

My youngest son takes skating lessons here He loves the coaches and they are great with him. We like it as it's very family oriented and a great price. We also love the restaurant upstairs where we grab a little bite after class. It's become sort of a routine.

So I was excited finally got to play on the ice at City National Arena. Iceacholic Ohana normally play our adult hockey tournament once year in Anaheim, CA. This year one of the guys last moment signed team up for local tournament. It exciting mix it up and comfort of playing local tournament lot different. The locker rooms by far best part about the whole weekend (ended up championship game on Monday, four games in three days). I been fortunate played at other rinks in Vegas. Not only the size of the locker room. There more then enough room for as many players imagine, open area middle, hooks all around hang stuff, and clean. The same day for the showers and bathroom area. Two sheets of ice. One more fancy since it the practice rink for the Vegas Golden Knights. I got to play on both over the course of hockey tournament. Both nice ice play on and most part well maintained. Restaurant/Bar upstairs is great spot feel like drinking and watching games or Knights practice. Best part in building celebrate post game quick and not go anywhere. Heehee. Overall like the whole set up. I would recommend if looking for adult hockey tournament or adult league City National Arena is winnah!

My kid got to practice on the same ice as the Knights! The Vegas Golden Knights Academy's Learn to Skate Program is awesome - they have classes based on your child's skill level (tested in first day) and move up levels based on whether they want to do ice hockey or figure skating. The instructors are super nice and do their job well; my kid never skated without holding my hand before and now he goes faster than me and does all kinds of tricks and drills! The sessions are 8 weeks long and kids get tested to see if they can move up a level (Snowplow Sam #1-4, Basic Skills #1-2, then Hockey or Figure skating and become beasts). Parents, family and friends are always welcome to watch and it's cool AF! They also have public skate passes so your kid could practice more on their own a few times and take guests, definitely recommend taking advantage of those. Love this arena and The Arsenal store they have; we have bought so much awesome gear from there! GO KNIGHTS GO!

Easy to find, close parking, beautiful facility, family focused. There is a wide range of activities for the community.

I work right across the street from the arena where the Vegas Golden Knights play their home games, but still not a huge hockey fan. I definitely can't name more than 6 NHL teams off the top of my head right now. Like I just tried right now. Anyway, I didn't even know that their training facility was in Summerlin, near the Red Rock Casino, at the City National Arena. Which is this really nice and new facility that does not look all that big from the outside, but still large enough to have 2 ice rinks, Vegas Golden Knights shop and a restaurant. When it is not being utilized by the GK for practices, the facility has youth and adult hockey programs for locals, as well as the ability to host tournaments. The ice rink can also be reserved for private skates, which is how I learned about and experienced this venue. I have "ice skated" before, but the ice is so slushy that even beginners like me can skate in circles reasonably well. The ice here is nice and fast, so much harder for novice for feel comfortable. But once you get the hang of it, it looks effortless. Even if you don't take advantage of the ice rink, there is a small restaurant upstairs where you can also watch the game or sports in general on the flat screens. If you are a hockey fan or just needs a nice place to skate in Las Vegas, City National Arena is the place to consider.

I've only visited The Arsenal to purchase Vegas Golden Knights apparel and decorative items including hockey sweaters, hats, dog collar, and pucks so I will only focus my review on that aspect. The City National Arena is located in now a busy part of the Summerlin area. Between the Las Vegas Aviators games at the Las Vegas Ballpark just down the street and Downtown Summerlin's extensive shopping area across the street plus Red Rock Station, this is a great area for entertainment and shopping. There is free parking next to the City National Arena as well as others across the street. Once you walk-in, The Arsenal is located on your right. This store has mostly VGK and Henderson Silver Knights apparels plus wine and beer glasses, bottle openers, stickers, watches among other jewelry, wall and desk decorative items, and even pet items such as collars, leashes, and sweaters for your 4-legged family members. They have toddlers, pre-teen, and adult sized apparels. For those interested in buying actual hockey gear, they have those there as well. From helmets, to sticks, to gloves, bags, etc., they got it here. I would recommend stopping by here to check-out the store, if you are in the area.

My daughter's 5th birthday celebration was at the City National Arena. We scheduled private time on ice for skating and got food from the Mackenzie restaurant. It was a fantastic experience overall. Rachel with guest services helped get us set up with the contract for skate time, waivers, coaches. She was very patient with my questions and answered them all. The restaurant was super helpful with helping us plan the menu and very accommodating to my party size. My interactions with the restaurant team of John, Brian, Justin and Emily was fantastic . Highly recommend this place and we'll be back for a casual night out!

VGK mania has taken over Vegas! I didn't attend any games, or watch more than a few, but I'd heard the craze for kids and adults to learn to skate and play hockey had really taken off. A friend planned a visit here for us to take advantage of open skate, and for all of us it was the first time in at least 5 years we'd set foot (or rather, blade) on ice. This might be a more fun experience when observing a practice or going with kids. PROS: + It's a cool (pun!), modern facility. They've been open a year or so and are already repainting and remodeling "to add new features and create a better guest experience." + Ice itself seemed well maintained and skates were in good condition (whole sizes only), 2 rinks, with seating available to view. + VGK gift shop and a restaurant are also on site, complete with a view of the rink, daily specials, and happy hour 3-6PM. + Staff were polite and helpful at check-in and rental counter. CONS: -It's summer in Vegas and you'll work up a sweat even in the cold rink area, but BYOB because the water fountains barely let out a trickle. -No lockers to store your stuff while you skate. Staff said they used to be available for $10/ea but no one used them so they were removed (rather than lowering to a reasonable price?). -Ice is maintained but not monitored during free skate, with kids all over the place and teenagers haphazardly trying to do tricks or even just laying on the ice. Didn't see any injuries but it wouldn't have surprised me, either. -Rink observation seating is limited, and it's backless bench seating, which gets uncomfortable quick. TIPS: *Use their site to plan your visit. Free skate only available for certain hours, certain days. The ones I saw were 1.5 hour blocks, one AM session and one PM session. *If you bring your own skates, it's $2 off the regular $12 admission.

Hockey in the desert is alive and well. City National is the practice home of the Vegas Golden Knights. It's a lovely new facility with two sheets of ice. Huge youth and adult hockey programs and home to the Knights corporate offices. We got a tour from a good friend that works for the team and it is a lovely new facility. I'm glad hockey is growing, even in markets where it's in a non-traditional sport. There used to be a couple smaller and older rinks for tournaments and leagues. Now City National will help the game grow. There's also a large VGK team store here, if you wanna buy stuff. Enjoy!

Ok, so the practice home of our Vegas Golden Knights is just that, a practice home. It doesn't have all the frills of an arena where games are played and history is made. The two rinks don't seat a lot of people. The seats aren't at all comfortable. Not even a little. They are benches with no backs. And they set too high to be comfortable for anybody less than about 6 feet tall. I am 5'7" and my feet were dangling. To come here and watch a practice for about an hour would be fine. But to come here as I did last night for several hours was, to be planely honest, painful. My back, my knees and just about every other major joint ached by the time I left. I was there for a charity hockey tournament. Game one was Las Vegas Police Knights vs Las Vegas Police Gold. The main even was Las Vegas Police vs Las Vegas Fire. Proceeds went to support the injured officers fund. It was standing room only. And that leads me to the good parts of City National Arena. It is so much more than just a practice arena. This is a community venue. There are two rinks that get used by the public. Ice skating, youth hockey, adult hockey clubs around town, UNLV hockey. Even in the off season for the Knights this place is getting used. And if the rinks aren't enough there is a gift shop, rental counter and a restaurant. There is a lot going on here. It is a quality facility that should be a staple in the community for years to come. Despite the uncomfortable seating.

I live nearby this practice arena for The Golden Knights and have been wanting to check this place out for a while. On my birthday weekend, hubby woke me up on Sunday morning and asked me to go get ready for a surprise. We were out the door by 8:30am and unbeknownst to me on our way to this "cool" place. When we arrived, I was surprised with a gift. My own GK jersey. Of course, I had to change and wear it proudly! The arena has an open and ample parking lot for a lot of cars but still provides close proximity to access the arena. We quickly made our way through the main doors and entered the first arena on the right. Deciding to stand along the perimeter of the rink, we had a great view of the Knights hour long practice. The rink is large and is also used by the UNLV team. To the right of the rink are the bleachers and on this day they were full of Las Vegas fans! It was so great to see so much support for our new hockey team. Featured on the left side of the building is another rink and that offers public skating when hockey teams aren't practicing. Upstairs, in the middle of the two rinks is the restaurant called Mackenzie River Pizza Grill and Pub which offers great views, brews and food. On the far right side of the building is the Knights team store Arsenal at City National Arena. I will review the store and restaurant separately. Overall, I had a great time checking out this new, clean, neighborhood facility. I never new how much fun it could be to have our own NHL Hockey team to root for! GO KNIGHTS!

I live about a mile from this new arena and I watched it being built. It's the practice facility for the Las Vegas Golden Knights NHL team and the home for the UNLV club hockey program. There are two rinks and one is open almost daily for the public for paid skating. They also have skate rental. I had never been to a college hockey game and seeing the turnout last night for UNLV was very heartening. The interior is modern, of course, and there's a snack bar on the first floor and a restaurant on the second floor with glass windows to watch skating below. Parking for the arena is very handy with plenty available. It's with a great sense of pride that I watched the arena open and being a part of the newness is wonderful. I'll see more hockey and maybe skate again now that the arena is here.

Best place to ice skate or play hockey. The arena is gorgeous and it's a top-notch facility. Playing hockey at this event is always highlighted.!!

As a former rink rat, I can't tell you how excited I am for the new rink in Summerlin. Beautiful facility inside and out. This place has two sheets of ice which means plenty of ice time for everyone. They have skate rentals available if you don't have your own. The snack shop is coming soon, but not built yet, so for now bring snacks and drinks. The staff there were obviously excited too and extremely friendly and helpful with everything you needed, even a boost up when you fall! The ice was well-groomed and the rink is spacious since it's the practice facility for the Vegas Golden Knights. A great time for kids big and small. Figure skaters, hockey players and recreational skaters. Will definitely be a regular

I have to tell you I was extremely excited to finally visit this Arena after becoming a "FROM DAY ONE" Golden Knights Fan. I have been a lifelong Detroit Red Wings Fan and that won't change...however when they moved to the Eastern Conference a couple of seasons ago I realized I wouldn't get to see them out west here much anymore now that I live in AZ. So when the NHL awarded Vegas a Hockey Franchise I knew I had to get onboard and I quickly fell in love with this team. I have not been to T-Mobile Arena yet where they play their home games but I knew I could come to this practice facility located in Downtown Summerlin because it is only about 10 minutes from my Timeshare property in Spring Valley. The parking, access to the rinks and the overall ambiance of the place is OUTSTANDING. It has a pretty good restaurant that overlooks both ice rinks and I think each rink can accommodate about 600 plus people. There is an awesome sports shop located on the first level called "The Arsenal" and it has some pretty great team gear located in there. I plan on attending a watch party there on February 1 and I will probably update this review afterward. Eat, Drink, and be Merry, my Friends!!!!

Love it here! Our first visit and won't be our last. Parking is ample, the VGK retail shop caters to all fans - everything is considered here- jerseys for adults, kids and dogs; hockey pucks, necklaces, lanyards, hats and more gear! The ice rinks are open to the public. For $10 your kiddo can skate and experience hockey, or come watch the Golden Knights practice!

I come here to play hockey every Tuesday. I'm so thankful to be able to play here in this league. This rink is state of the art and is the practice arena for the golden knights NHL team. Great facility and I love playing hockey here!

We went here to go and see a practice game with our Golden Knights here in Las Vegas. This was even a free event that is open to the public a couple of days a week to see them and how hard they train to win support for Vegas. The ice ring here is flawless and to see how hard these boys train and the teamwork that they have reminds me of a big family unit. It is classic just like Vegas. Also, the stadium is located in a beautiful part of town where parking is free and there is ice skating here too for a small fee. So come out Vegas and see how the Knights control the ice.

I have been here a few times so far, and I dig it. It looks small on the outside, but once you get in it looks bigger than you expect it to be. Great reasons to check out this place: - You're a Golden Knights fan, like many of us ;-) - The shop on the 1st floor has a huge selection of Golden Knights gear, souvenirs (for out of town guests), etc - There's a bar and food area, plus table setups for private parties, with a great view of both ice rinks. - Plus, flat screens to watch the games. - Went here for a party, estimated party size: 50 people or less, call for exact numbers) - Great photo ops upstairs and downstairs. If you're going to the skating rink, don't forget to bundle up. Even if you're not skating and just watching, it's a little chilly in there, especially if you're not fond of the cold. Oh and they also have those skating trainers to help hold yourself up if it's your first-time ice skating or if you haven't skated in a while. No shame! 2018 Yelp Challenge Review #15

Can I say wow. Of course the Knights train here, but this facility is amazing. It has everything you could think, need, or want. A little eatery, plenty of seating, lockers to store your stuff, plus a shop to buy what u may need or want. The staff was so courteous. There is public skate offered everyday typically between 1-3pm & 3-4pm, depending on the rink that is open. There are 2 skating rinks ( Star Nursery & Summerlin Hospital ). For the people who need help with skating there are plenty of ice skating training aids on both sides of the rink in different sizes. You are able to come watch the Knights practice, however it is first come first serve and it is free The location is truly convenient 215/ Charleston ( right across from Red Rock Casino) plenty of parking.

I seriously love the location! With ample parking, it's also my personal favorite place to acquire my Knights gear. The facility is clean, staff friendly and it offers a variety of activities as well Their website is kept current with upcoming events and activities

This is a review for their Birthday Party services: Our experience was hands down THE WORST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE. We paid for a package, completed the online forms, got the call and went through the phone registration, paid and everything else. Then the day before the birthday I had to call to check everything was ok because they hadn't yet (they say they will call 2-3 days before to verify and finalize) The girl that answered started off by questioning my reservation asking for a confirmation number. Then she said "oh I found it, it was on a DIFFERENT event list"............. I verify it all, am told we can arrive at 1130 with the cake and stuff. Cool, figure maybe someone just is totally unorganized and lazy at their job.............should've known. So, my wife calls day of to ask if we can put some extra food on the order- they tell her show up anytime after 11 to do that. Wife shows up at 1115- they hadn't even begun putting the room together- she tells me that the way they responded when she checked in was more of a "who are you???" Sort of check in- so she knew they hadn't even prepared at all- I get there at 1140- there are a couple tables with some table cloths and a cheap "happy birthday" dollar store type thing on the wall- not even balloons (which they said were included, there were some, but they were just on the table and disappeared after my wife asked if she is supposed to blow them up) you could do what they did for probably $15 from the dollar store easily. I had to call my wife and find where the room was because there wasn't any signage to direct guests- they said you have to "check in with us and we will tell you where to go"- how's about you put a sign at the entrance instead and make it a bit more personalized. By 1215 I was downstairs to complain again for the 2nd time because guests were in the room and there still wasn't any of the food we paid for............. when it did arrive, it was mediocre at best. Without writing a full novel about the SERIOUS LACK OF ORGANIZATION, RESPECT AND CARE the "Guest Service" staff that take care of special days did to make my stress go through the roof and my wife literally come to tears because it looked like our daughters birthday was screwed- I'll make it all very simple- I WILL NEVER AGAIN EVER CONSIDER THIS PLACE FOR AN EVENT FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER- THEY COULDNT PAY ME TO HAVE AN EVENT THERE. I will give credit to the couple people that did try to do their best to fix the issues which were caused by the Birthday Guest Service staff whom apparently didn't give a care enough after they arrived to approach us themselves and apologize for their serious incompetence. I support our Knights! But for events and special days- this place is definitely a 20000000% NO GO zone for us and I would seriously warn others making reservations and would recommend anywhere else other than this place-

This arena is just what this city needs. It is the home for the UNLV Rebels hockey team and the practice facility and office for our new NHL hockey team the Vegas Golden Knights. I have been here quite a few times now and I absolutely love it. This place has been busy every time I've come. The last time they had the Can Am Youth hockey tournament playing in one arena, with the Golden Knights practicing in another arena. The practices are always entertaining and the coaches really drill the team hard. It's no wonder the Knights are doing so well to start this inaugural season. They practice hard!! In between the 2 arenas is the MacKenzie River Pizza Grill & Pub with windows looking down on the arenas on both sides. A great place to grab a bite, have a beer and enjoy the action down below. They even serve poutine at this place. Although I haven't try it yet, I'll be sure to try some in the near future. They also have a concession area, but it has only opened once since I have been there. This place is also home to The Arsenal. They sell a variety of Golden Knights memorabilia and hockey equipment there. It's a great addition to the arena. This arena is close to my house, so I will be coming here whenever I can to watch the Golden Knights practice. They even take the time to sign autographs for the young fans after their practice. This arena is a wonderful addition to our west end. Thank you to all who helped build this great facility.

Out of all the ice rinks in the Vegas valley, CNA has the most consistently well maintained ice, with the most knowledgeable staff who can actually answer questions unlike a certain nearby rink that has young teens dodging queries like it's too much work to forward calls to their boss. Want consistency and professionalism? Skate CNA. Wanna dress up in full gear in the parking lot instead of an actual locker room? Wanna overpay for open skate or stick & puck on garbage ice? Go to the other one by the 215 Flamingo exit.

Clean. Organized. Plenty of seating, both inside the separate rinks and out in the lobby area.. the best is being able to sit in the warm lobby and view thru the large windows. Pro shop, retail sales, snack bar are a few amenities they offer..

This place is pretty cool to check out when you have spare time to "chill". 1. 2 ice rinks- one obviously used for open practice for the VGK. Lots of kids learning how to skate or play hockey. 2. Restaurant on the second floor overlooking both rinks. Will need to check out some day. 3. The Arsenal store which was busy the day before the big playoff game. Lots of fans stocking up on gear.. prices are comparable to mall stores. Selection is larger and they sell other stuff such as ice skate and sticks. This place is worth visiting! They're definitely keeping the rink more geared toward practice and learning versus leisure skate. I bet in 10 years Vegas will be putting out some prime NHL players.

My sons hockey team played a tournament game here at City National Arena and of all the locations I have been to, this is the most impressive. Sine it is the home of UNLV's team, I would hope it's one of the most advanced and nicest. :) Parking is great and even though it gets full quickly you still don't have to worry about not finding a spot. Once you do, getting to the front entrance is easy and not a far walk even if you park way out in the lot. Inside you will find a modern and clean facility. The bathrooms are large and clean. The pro shop is large and filled with Golden Knights swag so I stayed out being a Sharks fan. :) The rink my son played on was nice and he said the ice was the best he's ever been on including that over the San Jose Ice Center, oh excuse me, I forgot the stupid corporate branding, Solor4America what-ever-it's-called-now. That's a pretty good compliment since San Jose's rink isn't bad. The stands are nice and comfortable as steel seats can get. The view is excellent no matter where you sit including at the glass seats inside the restaurant. I didn't eat at the restaurant but it looked nice and appetizing. If you have an event here at City National Arena, I think you're going to like it. I was impressed and wished that we could have had all of our games at this wonderful location.

If you are excited about having a hockey team in Vegas then this is a fun place to visit in addition to attending games. Located next to Downtown Summerlin it's easy to access and there is plenty of parking in front of the building. Inside is the team's practice arena where you can watch them practice. The arena also hosts leagues for those that like to play hockey for fun. A large gift shop is on the first floor to find your favorite VGK goodies. Upstairs is the Mackenzie River Pizza Company which is pretty good. There are tables and a center bar, but also plenty of seating along the glass overlooking the hockey arenas. This is where it'd be fun to grab a drink and watch them team play. Check the schedule ahead of time because they obviously aren't always holding practice.

I never knew where the exact location of this arena was until recently. It sits just east of Red Rock Casino and Downtown Summerlin, but just south of Charleston. There are ample amount of parking, even those busy days when our home expansion hockey team, Vegas Golden Knights, practice. There is a VGK shop to the right, 2 hockey rinks, and 1 bar/restaurant upstairs, overlooking both rings. I had came here the first time to see VGK practice. I had came a bit late and all the bleacher seats to the left were taken. I had stood by the glass, next to the stairs up to the bleachers, but still had a great view of the players and of course our state flower, Fleury (lucky me, apparently he wasn't there the day before). There is an area to the right thats for kids to get autographs with some players after practice. It's a great experience to see professional players practice, especially for a sport i've never been familiar with until this season. And this is all free ! The shop is pretty big. Lots of hats, shirts, hockey gear, etc to check out. They have the MacKenzie River Pizza restaurant/bar upstairs in the middle where you seat yourself. I didn't eat here. I just came here to buy some VGK labeled wine that was on a special the other day. The bartender was super busy but super nice.

Being a Golden Knight fan this was a HUGE experience for my kids and I. We actually went to City National Arena with the purpose of Christmas shopping in the Arsenal. It was not very busy went we entered the facility but the gift shop was. We walked around first and noticed the practice ring and the regular ice rink with the skate rentals. We took a few pictures with the large Chance bobble head and then headed back to the gift shop. (However, we stopped by the bathrooms first with were not very clean.)The store was nice and they had A LOT of items to chose from. Figuring out where the line to par was a little confusing. We waited about 15 mins in the wrong area just to see a line forming on the other side of the cash wrap next to all of the glass items. (Not the best place for a line when your shopping with a 2 and 4 year old). Only one of the computers was working properly and the woman working that register kept having to step away from her transaction to help the other gentleman who was work with her. It was a long process to checkout. As we left the store we notice some players skating around the practice rink so we went in and found some seats. This was by far the best part of our experience. The fans were very nice most seemed like they were regulars. The practice area is a little bit chilly so bring a jacket and a blanket to sit on. We were definitely not prepared. Very cool and a must try if your a VGK fan.

Never was a huge hockey fan but now that Vegas has a team and I'm born and raised here I'll jump on. So far I went to T-Mobile to the first home game and now I'm here to check out the practice facility. This is a great place to come check them out and it's in a great local. Has a great gift shop too.

As the home of the Golden Knights practice facility they really go above and beyond to give back to the public... All practices are free to the public. They have a very upscale bar that over looks the ice. The Arsenal is home for your official gear and they do have some shirts that are about $20 if you are on a budget.... After practices they always have 2 of the team members out to give autographs to the kids... They invite schools for field trips and it's a family friendly place... NOTE: Bring a fleece, hoodie or Jacket along with a cushion to seat on...

Wow this place is amazing!!! I brought my 3 kids here this morning and they loved it! This place has two nice size ice rinks open in the morning on New Year's Day! One for hockey practicing and the other for general open skate. There are tons of kids and families here so it made us feel "normal". As you walk you, you can see a large guest service desk and the lady was very helpful. Towards the right down the hall is a nice gift shop. The facility is very open so it doesn' seem so crowded and I love how it smells so "clean". I've been to many ice rinks in my life as I used to be a figure skater and this place is nice, big, and clean!!! Signed my 2 kids up for their learn to skate program and I'm so excited!! Can't wait for my 2 year old to tuen 2.5 so she can start lessons too! We went up to the restaurant and it was awesome! You have great views to watch either two Skating rinks from the restaurant and also when the Golden Knights have their practices. This place is so amazing and cool for our kids and us! I'm so glad this opened up in Summerlin and we cannot wait to start their lessons tomorrow! Added review: Started kids this week for lessons and my 2 year old LOVED it! See photos!!!

Fantastic ice surface. Two sheets of ice in the arena. One is used for public skate and hockey while the other is only hockey. Of course this is the ice the Golden Knights practice on. Seriously, this is the best ice I have skated on and I have played across the country. Locker rooms are clean and spacious. The doors are all electronic which is a huge bonus when carrying your gear.

Happy to be back in Vegas for 6 weeks. I really missed going to VGK games and practices. This venue is super nice with a great VGK store. Best fans!

I came here to go ice skating with my family and I had such a great time. The pricing is good, $13 per person which gives you 3 hours of skating with skate rental. The arena is the size of a hockey rink and plenty of places to sit and rest if you need to. There are two hockey rinks, but only one used at a time for public ice skating. They do have lockers if you want to lock up your things while out on the ice. The venue has a restaurant and bar upstairs as well as private rooms for catered events. They also have a huge Vegas Golden Knights gift shop located on the first floor. There is a snack bar for refreshments and small bites to eat next to the skate rentals. There are restrooms with plenty of stalls and a water hydration station which was handy. The parking is decent, right outside the arena and it's located next to Red Rock hotel. The ice rinks are very crowded however, and a lot of families on the ice at a time. The only thing I was disappointed in was that the ice was never zambonied so it was difficult to skate midway through till the end. The ice was super cut up. I would highly recommend for a few hours out with the family for a good time. I will be coming back!

This is a fantastic facility. There's two rinks and a store to buy official knights gear! We came in for open skating. My son loved it so much, he can't wait to come back again!! It's clean and the employees are very nice. If you are in the area just come in and check the place out! It's worth a visit and maybe by chance you will catch the golden knights practicing!!

Going to see the VGK's practice is always a joy. It was a tradition mom and I had and we always went to their practice whenever available. Now that she's no longer here with me I know she joins me from heaven when I go. I love going and giving them support and just being a part of their frustration and their celebrations.

I loooove coming here for open skating. City National Area is so clean and nice. The workers and front desk girls are so sweet, especially Holly! $10 with no skates and $15 with skate rentals for 1 1/2 open skate is a killer deal!

21+ over are the best ice times...if offered, to avoid the little ones. Unfortunately, seems like they only offer it during off season. During the 7:30-9:45pm public session on 12/29/18 between 8:20-9pm, a man decided to collide into me. As a result, he knocked the wind out of me. Thus, I am in shock because I am on the ground and he is not. He asked me repeatedly, " Are you alright?" I laid on the ground in pain. He claims, "I tried to get to my daughter." As for myself, I was skating in the main direction flow. He decided to cut through the center. Unfortunately, this man did not apologize. Plus, he seemed to blame it on his daughter. After asking for ice, I spoke to the skate guard and management representative. Apparently, this management rep seemed like he lacked customer service training. After skating for 40 years in various rinks from Ice Capades Chalet in Brea, CA to Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ, the management team at CNA seemed to lack customer service training, policies/procedures, and ice skating safety standards. For example, when I suggested orange cones (clearly visible) around the center, Justin replied "well, the session is almost over...we tried that and the kids seem to play with them." After 4 years of my PhD classes at UNLV in Educational Leadership with an emphasis in Workforce Education (before it was cut by Governor Gibbons), I realized this maybe the time to finally put this knowledge, these skills, and abilities to use. Thus, I asked him what would he have done. In addition, since it happened at the beginning of my skate (thank God I asked for a receipt), I asked for a free pass. Since the irresponsible man took off and the pain started to set in from my thigh and shoulders, this ice time was not fruitful. Plus, it seems like an urgent care visit would be a good idea. To the man who knocked the wind out of me, you may want to consider reviewing your responsibilities as a male and apologize when you collide with a female. Furthermore, you may reconsider blaming your daughter. In addition, you may want to stick around to file an incident report or possibly show your daughter you are responsible for your actions. Plus, you might consider practicing compassion, empathy, and ethics as your NYE resolution. Hence, you may benefit from reviewing the knowledge/skills/abilities of respecting others e.g. treat others the way you would want to be treated. To CNA management, you may consider retraining your staff on customer service, policies and procedures, ice skating safety standards, and taking a field trip to other indoor ice rinks like SoBe Ice at Fiesta Rancho and LVIC regarding their staff education and practices. In conclusion, as the customer, you may want to consider more seasoned ice rinks for your health and safety. Have a great NYE weekend and enjoy the last of 2018. Almost forgot, thank you CNA for letting me utilize my PhD classes.

This arena is bigger then we thought. It's perfectly located across from Red Rock Hotel & Casino. It has two ice rinks, restaurant located on the second floor, store selling all the Golden Knights goodies, plus you can watch the team practice. They also offer children and adult classes, how fun!
