Flats, drumsticks, boneless or vegan? No matter what your wing preference is, we can all agree they taste best if you eat them while you root for your favorite sports team to win. And in Vegas, countless bars and restaurants serve up these finger food delights. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites and turned to the cosmos to give you the best recommendations.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

WSKY Stadium (5625 Polaris Ave. 725.240.7652. wskystadium.com)
Leave it to Libra to choose a hoppin’ hot spot that’s serving something for everyone while simultaneously offering a sensible stadium parking solution to meet at before catching the game. We suppose we should expect nothing less from this diplomatic and practical sign.
At WSKY Stadium, find wings piled high in plates of eight, 12 or 24 and drenched in delicious sauce. Choose from the classic buffalo, WSKY BBQ, stadium garlic (WSKY’s take on garlic Parm) or T&T sauce, which is essentially a mixture of every other wing flavor all in one. If you prefer to keep your hands a bit cleaner, opt for the punchy lemon pepper dry rub. And of course, these flavorful delights come with fries, celery and carrots, making these the perfect plates to satiate a hungry gamegoer or great platters to share with friends.
What makes this venue even better is that you can reserve parking here on event days and skip the hassle of trying to park at Allegiant Stadium or needing to cross the Hacienda Bridge from some of the Strip properties. And they have game day drink specials like $6 domestic drafts, $30 canned bev buckets and $9 mixed drinks. It’s a no-brainer to park, party and play at this one-stop shop.
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, WSKY hosts its own tailgate parties for Raiders and UNLV football games, featuring food and drink specials, free beverage samplings, games on more than 40 high-definition TV screens, fun games and occasional giveaways, and live broadcasts.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
BBQ Pig Wings at Project BBQ (Circa Resort & Casino. 702.726.5491. circalasvegas.com)
There’s nothing expectable about you, Scorpio, so why should your wing choice be? Stray away from the classic chicken wing and enjoy these savory and smoky handheld pork shanks. This version is made extra yummy by barbecue truffle crema, a perfect balance of sweet and earthy flavors.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Boneless Wings at Happy Camper (FSLV—Fashion Show Las Vegas. happycamper.pizza)
Not only is this the perfect patio for these outgoing fire signs, but something about the snackability of a boneless wing matches the free-spirited nature of Sagittarius. Order buffalo or barbecue and enjoy with carrots, celery and a choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Buffalo Cauliflower at Rockhouse (The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort. 702.731.9683. therockhousebar.com)
Let’s be honest: Capricorns work hard so they deserve to enjoy all that life has to offer, not just one delicious dish. So order this tempura take on the traditional wing with buffalo ranch drizzle to enjoy the classic app while leaving room for more. Plus, it’s the perfect shareable for veggie lovers and vegetarians.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Cajun Dry Rub Wings at Bottled Blonde Las Vegas (Grand Bazaar Shops. 702.690.2992. bottledblondelv.com)
This rooftop restaurant-meets-lounge is the perfect locale for the eccentric air sign Aquarius. Think gorgeous views, fabulous cocktails and delicious bites. Order these wings to enjoy a tasty party pleaser with a kick and without the risk of sauce drippage.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
Cheesling Wings at bb.q Chicken (4276 Spring Mountain Rd. No. 103a. 702.227.8646. bbqchicken.com)
This Korean fried chicken spot has all kinds of flavors to impress the creative Pisces, but dig into these wings for a unique combination of sweet and savory cheeses in powder form. Keep the theme going with a basket of Cheesling fries or ooey gooey cheese sticks.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
Hellfire Wings at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill (Caesars Palace. 702.731.7410. caesars.com)
We don’t think we need to explain to you why this blazing fire sign is paired with the term “hellfire,” but just like Aries, there’s depth to these wings, courtesy of the hot sauce-flavored beer glaze and blue cheese to accompany them. Enjoy them while you take in the lively tavern vibes.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
Sweet Chili Wings at Berlin Bar (201 E. Charleston Blvd. 702.463.9919. berlinlv.com)
A dimly lit, intimate dive bar in the Arts District is exactly where you’ll find a Taurus. And this locals favorite has great drink specials and bar bites. Order five panko-breaded wings, sauced up with irresistible sweet chili glaze, and fries for just $10 here, or stop in on Wednesday to take advantage of the dollar wing deal.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):

Chicken Wing Flight at Flights (Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. 702.368.7264. miraclemileshopslv.com)
Indecisive yet adventurous Gemini can’t just choose one wing flavor. So head to a restaurant dedicated to trying things in threes and enjoy this all-in-one treat featuring three salt and pepper wings, three buffalo wings and three honey barbecue wings served with blue cheese and ranch. Consider a french fry flight to go with!
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
Lemon Pepper Wings at Chickie’s & Pete’s Crabhouse & Sports Bar (SAHARA Las Vegas. 702.761.7000. saharalasvegas.com)
What better place for this celestial crustacean than a Crabhouse? Order six, 12 or 24 of these heavenly wings for a tangy take on the game day delight. Stop in on Thursdays from 5-8 p.m. to enjoy your wings during Clay Baker’s live football talk broadcast.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Honey Sriracha Wings at Dawg House Saloon & Sports Book (Resorts World Las Vegas. 702.676.6964. rwlasvegas.com)
Leading Leos love to be in the know, and here’s a bit of insider information: This destination’s featured wing flavor for September is the sweet and spicy honey sriracha flavor, but they’re so popular they’ll likely stick around a bit. So gather your group and give them a try.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Traditional Buffalo Wings at The Beast (AREA15. 725.210.5365. area15.com)
Nothing tickles a Virgo quite like something they know and love. After all, you can’t go wrong coating wings in tangy, buttery buffalo sauce. This artsy gastropub is serving up some of the most delicious wings in town, a perfect pair to one of their local brews, specialty cocktails or refreshing mocktails.
