Leeds Rhinos’ biggest away following of the season will be at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday to roar them on in their Las Vegas clash with Hull KR.

Fans have already begun arriving in the ‘entertainment capital of the world’ ahead of this weekend’s Betfred Super League fixture. It is the first time Rhinos have played a league game outside Europe and only their second competitive match on another continent, after the 2018 World Club Challenge in Melbourne, Australia.

Fans have been preparing for the trip since the game was announced last May and the club say approximately 6,000 Leeds supporters will be in the stadium on Saturday. Rhinos’ Yorkshire derby with the new World Club champions, who now hold all available trophies, is the opening part of a triple-header which includes two opening round matches from the southern hemisphere NRL. Newcastle Knights take on North Queensland Cowboys before the event wraps up with St George-Ilawarra Dragons against Canterbury Bulldogs.

Fan events are being held all week, including a meet the players session at the NRL Fan Hub at Zouk, Resorts World, on Wednesday (3.30pm-5.30pm local time). Players from all six competing clubs will walk the red carpet at the Fan Fest, at Fremont Street, the following afternoon (5.30pm-6.30pm).

Fans of both Super League clubs have their own designated watering hole in Vegas. Blondies at Planet Hollywood has been designated the official Leeds Rhinos fans bar. From tomorrow (Wednesday) the bar will be decked out in Rhinos merchandise and there will be special appearances from several Leeds legends. Blondies Sports Bar and Grill is located in the middle of the Miracle Mile in the Planet Hollywood casino.

Leeds supporters have organised a march through Vegas on game day. They will meet at Blondies at 9:30 am and visit Brewdog at noon and the Ri Ra Irish Pub at 1:30 pm before walking to the stadium.

The Yorkshire Evening Post’s coverage of Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas is in association with Betfred Super League. Saturday’s showdown between Rhinos and Hull KR at Allegiant Stadium is an early highlight of a packed year of club rugby league action which also includes the Challenge Cup final at Wembley on May 30, Magic Weekend’s blockbuster return to Everton FC’s Hill Dickinson Stadium on July 4-5 and the Super League Grand Final on October 3 at Old Trafford.
