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.

Q: Are there any clubs that are open where I can watch the big game?

A: In true Las Vegas fashion you can even party at a club and catch the big game at the same time. This city is full of surprises, just head over to Jay-Z's new  40/40 Club at the Palazzo. This venue is in its own league as an upscale sports bar with plush seating and multiple large flat screen televisions in every direction so you'll have a good view of the game regardless of where you are looking. In the evening this joint turns into a club where you can party like it's 1999.
