STAY IN THE CITY™
Useful for the Entire Hockey Family
Tournament travel involves more than the Player.
Parents need coffee before early games.
Teams need somewhere to eat together.
Families need groceries, pharmacies and forgotten travel supplies.
Brothers and sisters need something to do between games.
City National Arena has a major advantage: it sits beside Downtown Summerlin, a walkable district combining restaurants, shopping, entertainment and professional sports facilities.
Early-Morning Coffee
Starbucks
2305 S. Spruce Goose Street
Las Vegas, NV 89135
Currently listed:
Monday-Sunday: 4:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
THR Tournament Tip
This is the one we should highlight.
EARLY GAME COFFEE — OPEN AT 4:30 A.M.
That is genuinely useful information for a Hockey parent with a 6:00 or 7:00 a.m. game.
Mothership Coffee Roasters
Located in Downtown Summerlin.
Coffee, pastries and light food make it a useful later-morning option. Downtown Summerlin specifically includes it among its coffee and brunch choices.
Whole Foods Coffee & Juice Bar
2475 S. Town Center Drive
Whole Foods opens at 7:00 a.m. daily and includes a coffee and juice bar.
Eat at the Arena
MacKenzie River Pizza, Grill & Pub
Located inside City National Arena, between the two rinks.
The restaurant overlooks both ice surfaces, making it particularly convenient when families have limited time between games.
This should be listed first because Hockey families don’t even have to move the car.
Team and Large-Group Dining
Maggiano’s Little Italy
10940 Rosemary Park Drive
One of our strongest Team-meal choices.
Maggiano’s offers family-style dining, catering and private-event space. Its party-size catering pans are designed for groups of approximately 8–10 or 16–20 people.
Why Hockey families may like it:
- Large groups
- Family-style meals
- Kids menu
- Catering
- Private rooms
- Team dinner potential
Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar
1725 Festival Plaza Drive
Casual family restaurant with reservations and catering.
Current official hours are 11:00 a.m. to midnight Monday-Friday and 9:00 a.m. to midnight Saturday-Sunday.
A broad menu makes it useful when a Team includes Players, parents, siblings and Coaches who somehow all want different food.
Additional Downtown Summerlin Dining
The official Downtown Summerlin directory includes:
- California Pizza Kitchen
- Pancho’s Mexican Restaurant
- Red Robin
- True Food Kitchen
- Trattoria Reggiano
- JING
- Grape Street Café
- Makers & Finders
- Dave & Buster’s
- Shake Shack
- Five Guys

For the finished page, we’ll divide these into Team Dining, Family Dining, and Fast / Between Games, exactly as we did with Henderson.
Groceries and Tournament Food
Whole Foods Market
2475 S. Town Center Drive

Besides groceries, the Summerlin store has:

Very useful for families trying not to buy every meal in a restaurant for four straight days.
Trader Joe’s

Las Vegas, NV 89128

Saturday: 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Sunday: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
This is the important listing when a family needs actual Hockey equipment rather than souvenir merchandise.
The Arsenal
Located inside City National Arena.
The Arsenal is an official Vegas Golden Knights apparel store.
We’ll keep the distinction clear:
The Arsenal = Golden Knights merchandise
Pure Hockey = Hockey equipment

Family Entertainment Between Games

When Tournament dates overlap with an Aviators home game, this is an excellent family activity after Hockey.
