5 of Las Vegas’ best sports bars
Lagasse’s Stadium
You’ve got a choice of table seating, luxury boxes, bench seating, stool seating or bar seating. You have more than 100 high-definition TVs, including the main one that’s 9-by-16 feet. You’ve got Emeril Lagasse’s food (including his New Orleans BBQ Shrimp) and a new outdoor Biergarten. It’s easy to see the game at Lagasse’s, and you can pick your style of comfort.
The Venetian, 702-607-2665, venetian.com
Beer Park
This may be the most stadiumlike game-watching experience in Las Vegas — without being in an actual stadium, that is. The second-floor open-air Beer Park with faux grass has dozens of TVs for watching the actual game, and games like pool and Jenga for when the action on the tube slows down. Plus, there are more than 100 beer choices, including 36 on draft.
Paris Las Vegas, 702-444-4500, beerpark.com
Crown & Anchor British Pub
What if you really love your football — but the “real” kind, from across the pond? Crown & Anchor is soccer central, showing games live — even if they’re in the middle of the night our time. It’s open 24/7 and offers a British-flavored menu of things like a Chip Butty and fish and chips, with three dozen beers on tap.
1350 E. Tropicana Ave., 702-739-8676, crownandanchorlv.com; with one other location
Todd English PUB
The Public Urban Bar is in the middle of the action on the Strip, and in the middle of sports action. A sprawling space with lots of TV monitors makes for a raucous atmosphere during games, and Todd English’s food makes for lots of good eating. Try The Carvery, with options for meats, breads and the sauces to go with them.
The Shops at Crystals, 702-489-8080, toddenglishpub.com
PKWY Tavern
There are plenty of opportunities to watch plenty of games at PKWY Tavern, but there are other games as well, such as Beer Chess and beer-fueled pool. And you can join TEAM (Taphouse Exclusive Active Member) to tally up the beers you drink and earn gift cards, mystery items and more. And with 250 beers available, you have plenty of choices.
