I was in Vegas with my niece over Superbowl weekend last February, and a friend hooked us up with a friend who works at Allegiant Stadium, and we got a personal tour of the place (not the tour that the poor's get when they go there).
I'll share some of the pics I took, but they really don't do the place justice. The best way I can describe it is to tell you to imagine a night club, that has a football field in the middle of it.
We toured the place from top to bottom and through all the amenities. It was pretty overwhelming, and it took us about 2.5 hours to see everything.
I can't really compare the suites and the club seating area to anyplace I've ever been in. For example, the suites and club seating area is all private entry, with private concessions and art exhibits throughout the private concourses that aren't accessible to the general ticket holder.
The clubs that had field access/field viewing were so nice and so plush, that I could easily imagine going there, relaxing and getting so plowed that you'd forget there was a game going on only feet away. Honestly, all the amenities were sort of distracting after awhile.
I should have taken more pictures, but frankly, after about an hour and half of seeing that place, I was ready to just keep moving and get it done.
Raiderette Locker Room (yes, we met 2 Raiderettes that were there for some other event ... no pics though, as our guide told us he'd get in trouble if he got caught giving us a tour of their area of the stadium, so we didn't hang around to chit chat with them):

We went to Mark Davis's suite, and his open seating area, all of which were spectacular, but even the loge seating area was almost as nice as the owner's seating area. The individual private suites varied in size, but they had everything you'd expect; seats, a kitchen/buffet area, a standing area to mingle if you didn't want to sit down and private bathrooms.
We got our tour on the Friday before the Superbowl and our guide was leaving to go to Glendale Arizona as soon as he was done showing us around, as the NFL was flying in about 20 staffers from Allegiant Stadium to watch the Superbowl in Glendale so that they could get some insight as to what to prepare for when Vegas hosts the game this year.

Do people actually watch the games with all amenities? (Real question).
Luxury suites for a Raiders game? Christ.
Hell, the NFL once played the Super Bowl in Old Stanford Stadium.
When did America get so fucking soft?
At least the Chiefs and Bills are still kinda Tuff. Packers have too many luxury boxes now.
