If you don’t know Tom Brady from Carol Brady … or are on the opposite end of the spectrum and know the stats of every player on the field … or say, perhaps, your football knowledge rests confidently in the middle, wherever you stand, come Sunday, Feb. 5, y’all can party together in Sin City. Here’s a roundup of some of the places to celebrate, come game day.
Party like you’re in college at the Strip’s only ultra-dive bar, Rockhouse at Imperial Palace. For one Benjamin folks can partake in an open bar, and, starting at $25 more, get the all-you-can-eat buffet. As you chow and gulp down, none of the action will be missed with Rockhouse’s 28 high-def TVs scattered around the bar. If grilling and tailgating is your thing, head over to Rhumbar at The Mirage for the Big Game Tailgate Party, priced at $150 per person. Football fans can gather on Rhumbar’s patio for some jalapeño cheese hot links, hot dogs, nachos and Bloody Marys. While you’re bundled up in your jerseys, catch all the play-by-play action on the patio’s six big-screen TVs.
Over at Hard Rock Hotel’s Blitzed Sports Bar & Lounge, party like a rock star with food and drink specials, such as the Absolut All-You-Can-Drink Bloody Mary Bar, available for only $10. Over at The Joint, for $49, guests can enjoy a six-bottle bucket of beer and catch the Big Game up on a ginormous screen set up on the concert venue’s stage.
If riding a mechanical bull on Super Sunday sounds super fun, head over to PBR Rock Bar & Grill at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood Resort for their super shindig. With 105 wall-to-wall HDTVs you’re sure not to miss any of the action as you nosh on football-inspired bites. Starting at $100, guests can wet the whistle with an open bar of domestic drafts and well drinks.
Lagasse’s Stadium
At The Palazzo, word is that Lagasse’s Stadium—an über-chic place to catch all the gaming action—is sold out, but, hey, this is Vegas and it’s all about rolling the dice and seeing what just might happen as far as getting in the door.
For something more adventurous, take a trip off-Strip to Red Rock Resort, where an awesome deal awaits at LBS Burger Joint. Check it: after your first full-price beer purchase, you can get draft refills for only a dime during the game; partiers can also enjoy food throughout the day.
Other places joining in the Feb. 5 fun are: Blondies at Miracle Mile Shops; Rouge Lounge at MGM Grand; Kokomo’s and Onda Lounge at The Mirage; Diablo’s Cantina at Monte Carlo; Le Burger Brasserie at Paris; The Lounge at Palms; and The Sporting House at New York-New York.
If making a wager on Game Day is more your style, check out LVH race and sports book, which has been a longtime favorite, as it’s the largest in the world at 30,000 square feet. Guaranteed to be packed and partying hard are Caesars Palace and Planet Hollywood sports books—two of the most deluxe wagering joints in Las Vegas.
So where will you be during kickoff, halftime or with just a few minutes left on the clock? With these options and more around town, there’s no need to make a Hail Mary when it comes to celebrating on game day!
