Occasion: The Super Bowl Party / Big Fight
Why stay home for the big game and do a little friendly wager with your buddies? At least you know the casinos will pay up what they owe you.
Q: What casino has the best Super Bowl events?
A: Something for everyone. That should be the slogan for Vegas. Most sports books in town show the big game and there are plenty of action-packed locations to choose from. We have put together a convenient Super Bowl page. Some strip clubs also throw Super Bowl celebrations and invite special "celebrity" dancers in for the event. (Talk about a halftime show!)
Q: We want to rent a suite for the Super Bowl/big fight for eight of us. We need a huge TV, full bar and plenty of room service. What hotel fits the bill?
A: You gotta get one of the fantasy suites at the Palms. Complete with things like flat screen tvs, surround sound, in-room bars and stripper poles, why would you want to go anywhere
else? Of course, if you're looking for a more sophisticated place to watch the fight, the Four Seasons offers the 3,000-square-foot presidential suites complete with large-screen TVs, incredible Strip views and a full service
staff available. Split the bill with a group of friends as the presidential suites start at $3,000. Also, keep in mind that
while the Super Bowl will be shown on free TV, major fights may be blacked out or may not be available inside a room. Make
sure the check this out before you finalize your plans.
Q: Where do the boxers hang out after the fight?
A: You've got to go where the boxing match is being held. Usually at Mandalay Bay or MGM Grand. The boxers will frequently work out at the sponsoring hotel's gym. You can also check out the sports book or convention area of the sponsoring hotel a day or two before the fight where they sometimes have public weigh-ins. You might also catch a glimpse at one of boxers by checking out the nightlife scene in Las Vegas. Some of the nightclubs have special nights on the weekend of the fight that are hosted by one of the fighters.
Q: Which hotels typically host the big fights in Vegas?
A: Several hotels host fights when they come into town. Sometimes they take place at the Events Center at Mandalay Bay or in the Grand Garden Arena at MGM. Fights also take place inside The Pearl at Palms and at The Joint in Hard Rock Hotel.
