HOTEL TO VENUE TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT

There will be no scheduled looping shuttle service during the event. All official hotel properties are within walking distance of the venue.

If your department requires transportation support, all requests must be submitted at least 24 hours in advance using the Event Runner Request Form.

Each request must include:

  • Date of transportation

  • Requested pick-up time

  • Pick-up and drop-off locations

  • Number of passengers

  • Details of any oversized luggage, equipment, or gear requiring transport

For transportation needs that arise within 24 hours, please contact the Transportation Team directly by emailing transportation@xgames.com or calling Transportation Manager Mitch Carlson.

Please note that requests submitted within 24 hours will be accommodated on a case-by-case basis and are subject to vehicle and staffing availability. While the Transportation Team will make every effort to support operational needs, accommodation at the requested time cannot be guaranteed.

Our goal is to provide reliable transportation support while ensuring resources are allocated efficiently across all event operations. Advance planning by each department is essential to helping us meet everyone's needs.

CABS / RIDE SHARES ARE NOT A REIMBURSABLE INVOICE EXPENSE

We have staffed to be able to take care of your needs either through our internal transportation department, rental vehicle fleet, or our corporate Uber account where applicable. Those that do not utilize these programs offered will be considered personal or "out of pocket" expenses and are not to be included on final invoice.

Uber Vouchers

Please refer to your contract for details regarding your eligibility for Uber vouchers or transfer services. If your agreement includes Uber vouchers, you'll find instructions on how to redeem and use them here.

If you know you are arriving at similar times of other travelers, please try to ride-share and share a voucher when possible. Thank you!
