Sugar Land is running away with the Pacific Coast League second half at 32-15, and the Aviators, 68-52 and locked into the playoffs since June, are the club that hosts whoever wins it. Six nights of what is very likely a September rematch. Twelve home dates left out in Summerlin and this series is half of them.

This is the Aviators ballpark in Summerlin, by the Downtown Summerlin shops. In your maps or rideshare app, search "Las Vegas Ballpark." There are three free ballpark lots, and you can also park free at the Downtown Summerlin shopping center across the street. It is an open-air ballpark, so dress for the weather, and the Summerlin lots and streets get busy on game nights, so if the game has a set start, leave earlier than you think.

The Arts District sits downtown along Main Street, south of the casino core.

The easiest plan is to park at the city garage at 500 South Main Street and take the free First Friday shuttle, or park around 1000 Commerce Street with a short walk in. It is outdoors with a lot of walking, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.

The Theater is off-Strip, just east on Paradise Road at Virgin Hotels, on the old Hard Rock site. In your maps or rideshare app, search "Virgin Hotels Las Vegas." Parking here is free, both self-park and valet, which is unusual for Las Vegas; use the Paradise garage by the Opal Tower or the Harmon garage by the Ruby Tower, then follow signs to The Theater. You are heading east of the Strip toward Paradise Road, not into the Strip casinos.
Parking and prices can change, so it is worth a quick check with the venue before you go.
