Super Bowl weekend is a big deal in Las Vegas.
While thousands pack the State Farm Stadium outside Phoenix, Arizona to watch Super Bowl LVII in person, even greater numbers will be in Las Vegas to catch the action on the big screen. Bars, lounges and restaurants will try to outdo each other with “Super Sunday” deals. Some may charge an admission fee that usually coincides with a food and beverage minimum. It’s one of the wildest times of the year, so if you’re planning to visit Vegas, make sure to book a hotel early and anticipate football parties up and down the Strip. Here’s a preview of some of the best places to watch the Big Game on February 12.
North Strip
Chickie’s & Pete’s (Sahara)
The Sahara is home to Chickie’s & Pete’s, a sports bar and restaurant with Philadelphia roots. The venue hosts a Big Game party, beginning at 2:30 p.m., with food and beverage credits built into the ticket price (beginning at just above $200). Feast on cheesesteaks, buffalo chicken nachos, wings, burgers, pizzas and of course, the restaurant’s famous Crabfries. Tickets are available online.
Central Strip
Tilted Kilt (The LINQ Promenade)
For those in the heart of the Strip, consider watching the game at the Tilted Kilt on the LINQ Promenade. It sits between The LINQ Hotel and the Flamingo and is an easy walk from Caesars Palace, the Cromwell and Bellagio. Tilted Kilt (featured in our LINQ bar crawl) is a Celtic-themed sports bar with dozens of TVs to ensure there isn’t a bad seat in the house to watch the game. Food and drinks are served by girls in skimpy outfits, guaranteeing a great time regardless of whichever team wins. Make an easy bet at The Book inside The LINQ Hotel.
South Strip
Tap Sports Bar (MGM Grand)
TAP Sports Bar inside the MGM Grand is a paradise for true fans. Authentic sports memorabilia covers the walls and 60 high-definition televisions are in place to make sure guests don’t miss a moment of the action. There is seating for 200 people, a great atmosphere and an amazing selection of local and seasonal craft beers, not to mention signature bar bites and dishes like the Beer Can Chicken. TAP is very close to the MGM Grand’s sportsbook, making it convenient to place a last-minute bet.
South Strip
HyperX Arena (Luxor)
The HyperX Arena typically hosts video game tournaments, but is transforming into a football viewing party for the Big Game 2-8 p.m. inside the Luxor. All tickets are $110 and include open bar.

Order pepperoni pizza bites, truffle fries, tuna poke nachos, chicken wings and other bites a la carte.
