The Best Spots To Watch Football In Las Vegas This Fall

It’s the time of year again — and in a city like Las Vegas, not everyone wants to watch at home. Here are our picks for the best places in Sin City to watch football. 

Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar

Carver Road Hospitality’s Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar, located on the Las Vegas Strip at Mandalay Bay, is inviting fantasy football fans to celebrate the 2024-25 season with exclusive fantasy draft party specials. Fans that book their draft parties here can crown themselves the champions of fantasy with luxurious private suites, personalized menus, drink specials and snack platters, free draft boards, and more. It’s like a sports-themed nightclub experience, in a way, with three exclusive beverage packages on offer. Package 1 ($250, max of 6 people) features a choice of one premium spirit, a 10-bucket selection of domestic beers, carafes of juices and soda, six Red Bulls, and bottled waters, with an optional draft board.

Package 3 ($750, max of 10 people) offers two premium spirits, three beer towers or bottomless mimosas, carafes, six Red Bulls, bottled waters, a custom marquee header, and an optional draft board. The ambiance and crowd is great, and the food follows suite, with choices that range from pretzels to pigs in a blanket, to fries, wings, sliders, and more for medium-sized groups. For larger events, indulge in lobster rolls, ahi tuna tacos, steak nachos, wagyu beef sliders, and wings.

Ole Red

Ole Red Las Vegas, Blake Shelton‘s newly opened bar — the country star’s sixth location — which is owned and operated by Opry Entertainment Group, a division of Ryman Hospitality Properties (NYSE: RHP), is an epic place to spend any given Sunday, but especially so during football season. The brand-new, four-story entertainment venue is now the largest among six Ole Red locations at 27,000 square feet and 686 seats, with a 4,500 square foot rooftop where guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the Las Vegas cityscape. Ole Red Las Vegas features three interior bars, a rooftop bar, two stages, a 16-feet-wide by 37-feet-high LED video wall, a retail area, and a VIP experience. Nosh on Southern-fried favorites like blackberry crispy chicken sliders and Ole Red Ribeye during game time, and stay for the daily live music after.

The George Sportsmen’s Lounge

The George Sportsmen’s Lounge, or for short – The George — is one of the best new spots for sports-viewing in Las Vegas. Located at the recently opened Durango Resort & Casino, this is truly where the games begin, and continue. On tap: chef-driven American fare, unparalleled sports viewing, and entertainment for all (among which include cornhole and live bands).The concept pays homage to classic Vegas big tippers, commonly called “a George” – a nod to the recognizable portrait on the one-dollar bill. The sportsmen’s lounge features indoor dining and a vibrant outdoor patio with wrap-around LED screens that create an immersive atmosphere for sports, live entertainment and private events. Sports wagering kiosks will also be available within the lounge offering convenient entertainment for guests; it is handily located adjacent to the STN sportsbook.
