All fans entering the Fertitta Center should note the facility's clear-bag policy.
Items such as backpacks, purses and diaper bags are not permitted, and fans are strongly encouraged to not bring any bags to the facility.
The following items are allowed inside the Fertitta Center:
• Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12 inches x 6 inches x 12 inches
• 1-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc or similar)
• A small clutch purse no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches, with or without a handle or strap (These small clutches remain subject to search)

METAL DETECTORS
In addition to the clear-bag policy, fans should note that walk-through magnetometers will be installed at all entry points of the Fertitta Center.
Guests will be asked to remove all objects from their pockets and place them on a table prior to walking through the metal detector. However, guests will NOT need to remove their shoes, belts, watches or jewelry.
