Sports Bars In Las Vegas – On The Strip & Downtown!

While Las Vegas has always been the sports betting Mecca of the United States, more and more professional sports teams (like the Raiders & VGK) are establishing roots, or are planning to relocate to town in the near future.

Once Vegas snags an MLB and NBA franchise (it’s coming), there’s little doubt in my mind that Sin City will be the most sought-after sports destination in the nation.

With that reality in mind, I expect an ever-growing number of people to make visiting Vegas a priority.

I figured it’d be helpful to compile a list of notable sports bars in Vegas, both on the Strip and on Fremont Street, to help you identify an option that will work nearby.

While seating at sports bars is usually easy to find for regular season games, nearly every establishment below hosts paid watch parties for major events like the Super Bowl and the opening weekend of March Madness.

If your plans include watching a big event, ensure you reserve a seat in advance, or risk being turned away at the door.

Sports Bars on the Las Vegas Strip

The Book at LINQ: While many casinos boast massive sportsbooks with absurdly large screens, a growing number of properties, like LINQ, have opted for a smaller sportsbook & sports bar hybrid.

LINQ’s version, The Book, has a modern vibe, screens everywhere you look, a sports betting counter, and a bar that allows you to pour your own beer.

She’s an absolute stunner.

Tilted Kilt at LINQ: Located on the LINQ Promenade, Tilted Kilt offers 30+ beers, a full food menu, and of course a collection of TVs that will be broadcasting the Raiders, Golden Knights, or any other sporting event of the day.

Appealing to sports fans, however, will be the 32-foot video wall and 30 TVs scattered about the venue, guaranteeing you don’t miss a minute of the action.

Beerhaus at The Park: Located along The Park between Park MGM and NYNY, Beerhaus serves an expansive selection of beers and is a perfect pre-game spot for events at T-Mobile Arena. With numerous TVs scattered about the dining room, Beerhaus is also a great sports bar to catch a game at.

Chickie’s & Pete’s at Sahara: In addition to offering 50+ TVs, Chickie’s & Pete’s serves their “famous Crabfries” which are coated in a unique blend of seasonings and are served with cheese sauce. Of Course, they also have 20+ beers on tap.

PT’s at STRAT: Among my favorite things to do at Strat is placing an uncomfortably large bet, and then sweating it out at PT’s. With 24 craft beers on tap, relatively inexpensive food options, and no shortage of LED screens, I think you’ll agree.

TAP Sports Bar at MGM Grand: Located near MGM Grand’s sportsbook, TAP Sports Bar is a solid option to catch the game on the Strip. With 60 HD TVs and sports memorabilia as decor, you’ll feel right at home.

Topgolf at MGM Grand: When you think of sports bars on the Las Vegas Strip, it’s unlikely that a driving range will be an option, but Topgolf could be the perfect spot to watch the game as hundreds of TVs are spread across the complex. Whether you’re playing golf, sitting at one of their bars, or posted up in the TCL Lounge, you legitimately are unable to escape the glow of screens.

The Lounge at Excalibur: A sports bar at the south end of the Strip, The Lounge offers a selection of bottled/draft beer and cocktails with a view of a number of TVs. Commonly overlooked by sports fans, The Lounge is my go-to under-the-radar spot in which I can commonly find seating when other options are packed.

TAP Sports Bar at Excalibur: Decked out with TV’s, TAP Sports Bar at Excalibur could be the perfect destination to catch the big game, or pre-game for events at T-Mobile Arena and Allegiant Stadium.

Charlie’s at Wynn: Wynn ranks among the best sportsbooks in Vegas, and Charlie’s overlooks it, offering views of both the book’s crystal clear wraparound screen as well as smaller screens within the sports bar itself. With a healthy selection of draft beer, Charlie’s is among the best spots to catch a game on the Strip.

Dawg House Saloon at Resorts World: Located inside the newest resort in Las Vegas, Dawg House packs an impressive punch.

In addition to the amenities mentioned, Dawg House has a stage and frequently offers live music.

Walk On’s Sports Bistreaux at Harrah’s: Occupying the former Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill space, Walk On’s is a sports bar that boasts Drew Brees as an investor.

The menu offers unique items like beignets, gumbo, crawfish, and even alligator. Of course, traditional gameday fare like chicken tenders, wings, and fries are also offered.

Sportsbooks: Of course, most major sportsbooks up and down the Strip offer a bar with a view of their enormous screens. These can be some of the best places to watch sports in Las Vegas as the crowd around you hangs on every shot, pass, and turnover making for a lively atmosphere. I personally love the bar in Caesars Palace’s sportsbook which provides a great view and bartop video poker. After all, nothing beats gambling while you’re gambling.

Sports Bars on Fremont Street

Victory Burger at Circa: As one of the few true sports bars downtown Las Vegas, Victory Burger is built to impress, overlooking Circa’s massive sportsbook screen. Of course, Victory has numerous screens of its own surrounding the tables and bar area so you won’t miss a minute of the action.

Longbar at The D: Deriving its name from the length of its bar top, sports are front and center at Longbar, which offers a double-stacked row of TVs the length of the 100-foot long bar. A common hangout for owner Derek Stevens, make sure you say hi if he’s around!

Bar Canada at The D: Located upstairs at The D, this sports bar is all Canadian, right down to the decor and beer selection. While you can bet your bottom dollar that the hockey game will be broadcast, Bar Canada also plays major “non-Canadian sports” as well. Grab a Labatt Blue, or Molson Canadian, and kick back!

MegaBar at Circa: The recently opened sister property of The D one-upped Longbar with its own MegaBar. MegaBar is the longest in Nevada at 165-feet, and offers 92 total TVs lining the entire back wall in addition to 120 beers on tap.

Front Yard at Ellis Island: A short walk from the Strip, located behind Horseshoe, Ellis Island’s Front Yard is a sports bar from heaven.

While numerous TVs surround the venue, the star of the show is the 18-foot big screen. With a full selection of stadium bites, and craft beer brewed on site, Ellis’ Front Yard is easily one of the best sports bars in Vegas.

Fortunately for sports fans, sports bars in Las Vegas are plentiful. If you’re anything like me, having the ability to place a bet and then settle in for a meal and 5 beers to sweat it out is what makes Vegas great.

Good luck!
