It’s the biggest sporting event of the year, one that reaches an international audience, and now the Super Bowl is in Las Vegas! As two powerhouse teams get ready to compete, the Strip and surrounding areas have become party central, offering endless entertainment options for the hundreds of thousands that are making the trek here to be part of history.
One of the Strip’s newest destinations offers one of the best viewing parties on the Strip—Chéri Rooftop at Paris Las Vegas. The location itself is stunning (directly underneath the property’s re-creation of the Eiffel Tower), and offers the perfect venue to stretch out in comfort while watching the game on two 120-inch projection screens and partaking in a hosted bar from 2:30-7 p.m., not to mention food stations offering everything from hot dogs to tacos.
Proper Eats Food Hall at Aria is already an energized location, but it’s going to get kicked up a serious notch on Super Bowl Sunday! Many of the residents of this food hall are getting in on the action, including: Mic Drop pizza (featuring marinara, mozzarella, Parmesan and pepperoni) from Pizzaoki; smash burger sliders (double patties, American cheese, grilled onions, pickles and Russian dressing) from Lola’s Burgers; and signature Seoul Bird sliders (crispy double-fried chicken, lettuce, red onion, signature sauce and kewpie mayo on a potato bun) from Seoul Bird.
PT's Wings & Sports
Over at The STRAT, PT’s Wings & Sports offers Super Bowl viewing packages for groups from two to 10, featuring pizza, signature chicken wings, French fries, beer and much more, all to be enjoyed while you watch the game on state-of-the-art LED video walls.
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants definitely have you covered for plenty of Super Bowl viewing fun. His Planet Hollywood restaurant, Gordon Ramsay Burger, offers an all-you-can-drink beer, wine and cocktail package, while Ramsay’s Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay at Harrah’s Las Vegas offers an all-you-can-eat package, as well as a private dining room experience which includes a five-course prix fixe menu and all you can drink.
Not to be outdone, celebrity chef Guy Fieri has plenty lined up for football fans. Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar at The Linq hosts a patio party offering four buckets of beer per table, snacks and a prix fixe all-you-can-eat-and-drink menu. He’ll also be hosting a massive tailgate party from 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. behind the High Roller at The Linq Promenade, an event with the capacity for 15,000 people featuring plenty of food and live performances from artists like Dustin Lynch and Diplo.
The Still
One of the most distinctive bars on the Strip, The Still at The Mirage keeps the fun going far into the evening with upscale bar food. Enjoy crispy-style chicken wings, steak street tacos with marinated carne asada, Mexican slaw and arbol salsa, and filet mignon skewers, paired with a house-made A1 butter. Add in more than 50 craft beers, 27 high-definition TVs and more than 8,000 square feet of space and you’ve got the perfect Super Bowl experience.
Red Rocker Sammy Hagar’s Cabo Wabo Cantina at Miracle Mile Shops promises plenty of indelible memories (and, of course, some world-class tequila) during its viewing party. In addition to its already festive atmosphere, the restaurant and bar is serving up plenty of all-you-can-eat favorites like homemade guacamole and chips, nacho platters, chicken wings, carne asada and chicken sliders, and churro and brownie bites. The house margaritas keep you coming back for more, especially the Cocorita—Cabo Wabo blanco, lime and crème de coconut, all rimmed with fresh coconut. If the coconut has you craving lime, try the Margarita Verde, made with Santo Blanco, lime, fresh cucumber and cilantro.
Cabo Wabo Cantina

And even after the game is over, get ready to enjoy a live DJ performance, as well as Gatsby’s signature cocktails like the Fox Trot (Grey Goose Essence Watermelon & Basil, Italicus, Chartreuse and Fever-Tree cucumber club soda and lime) and Smoke & Mirrors (Buffalo Trace bourbon, Russell’s Reserve 10-year bourbon, black tea, lavender syrup, Montanaro Rosso sweet vermouth and a finish of Lagavulin 16-year spray).
