Easy one: Allegiant Stadium has a roof, so every UNLV seat is shaded at every game. Details below, plus what to do about sun on the road.
Pick your game and kickoff. Watch the shade move across the bowl through the game.
Yes. Allegiant Stadium has a fixed roof, which makes this the easiest answer on the whole site: every seat is fully shaded for every UNLV home game, noon or night, September or November. Buy on price and sightline, not sun.
Because plenty of fans search for shade here anyway, and the answer deserves to be one line instead of a forum thread. The other reason is the road schedule: most open-air stadiums bake one side for day games, and which side flips with each field's orientation. The live map ray-traces all of them.
Open the tool, pick the stadium, set the real kickoff time, and see where the sun lands section by section before buying.

The percentages above are computed, not eyeballed: a 3D model of this bowl is ray-traced against the sun's true position for each date and kickoff shown, using the same engine as the live map. It approximates the stands as a tiered ring and ignores overhangs and press boxes, so trust it for which areas shade first rather than for any single row.
