Getting There
Fly In
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is about 7 miles from the venue — roughly 12 minutes by car. One of the most well-connected airports in the West. Most major carriers fly direct.
Rideshare
Uber and Lyft are readily available throughout Phoenix. Airport to venue or hotel is typically $15–25. The easiest way to get around if you're not renting a car.
Rental Car
All major rental agencies are at PHX. Useful if you want to explore beyond downtown, but not necessary — most hotels and the venue are within a tight downtown radius.
Light Rail
The Valley Metro light rail runs through downtown Phoenix and stops near the venue. A budget-friendly option if your hotel is on the rail line.
