The action kicks off Monday with the Raiders facing Dallas at 5:15 p.m. in the Cowboys’ first regular-season game at Allegiant Stadium.
The action continues Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena, where the Golden Knights will host the New York Rangers at 7 p.m.
Wednesday is the only day a sporting event won’t take place in the valley.
Two events will take place Thursday, with the Las Vegas Grand Prix kicking off with practice rounds at 4:30 p.m. and 8. Also, the UNLV men’s basketball team will meet St. Joseph’s at 7 p.m. at the Thomas & Mack Center.

The sports marathon will end Nov. 23 when the Raiders host the Cleveland Browns at 1:05 p.m. at Allegiant Stadium.
“It should be a pretty iconic week in Las Vegas,” said Steve Hill, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority president and CEO. “You’ll see a huge bump in tourism activity.”
