Kansas City barbecue or Philly cheesesteak? The NFL battle of cities with classic pub food is a rematch of the Super Bowl from just two years ago when the Kansas City Chiefs edged out the Philadelphia Eagles 38–35.
One year after its turn at hosting the Super Bowl, Las Vegas will be back on the sidelines but there’s no shortage of watch parties here. Seemingly every sportsbook, bar, restaurant and even some pools and theaters are getting in on the action. Here are a few unique options and parties that caught our eye.
Evel Pie
This dine-in deal ($69) kicks off at 3pm, when football fans can dig into a large salad, garlic knots, three-topping pizza and an order of bone-in or boneless wings with choice of sauce—including shipped-in favorites from Joe’s Kansas City or Philadelphia-based Ron’s Signature Sauce. Delivery customers can grab the combo for $79 through UberEats, Postmates, GrubHub or Doordash.
General Admission
From shareable, four-to-six–person platters that include a bucket of 24 chicken wings, a jumbo pile of loaded nachos or a mixed taco plate ($59 each) to pricier food combo packages paired with bottles of booze (including champagne or tequila), this sports-driven neighborhood bar at UnCommons will have fans glued to the action which will play on 37 TVs and a massive 163-inch LED screen behind the bar.
Ultimate Tailgate at Sahara Las Vegas
Hosted by football legend Bo Jackson and with a performance from reggae band Common Kings, this tailgate experience has entertainment beyond the game. The poolside party features a 240-foot-long LED video wall with an open bar from noon until halftime ($135). Add food—chili dogs, burgers and nachos—for $30 more. VIP experiences are also available.
Big Game 360 Viewing Party at AREA15
Fans attending the Super Bowl viewing party at the Portal inside AREA15 will be surrounded by the action as the game is projected in 360 degrees on 23-foot-high walls. An all-you-can-eat menu with a three-hour open bar runs $120.
Big Game at BleauLive
Why not watch the game for free in a giant theater? Fontainebleau has two parties (both with complimentary admission). Fans can watch from inside the 3,800-seat BleauLive Theater and purchase food from the Promenade Food Hall or gather downstairs in the Tavern sportsbook.
Big Game Splash at Stadium Swim
Dive into the action at Stadium Swim. Fans coming to the Circa pool party can swim in any of the six temperature-controlled pools as they watch the game on a 143-foot-long screen. Admission starts at $125.
Watch Party at BrewDog
With an open bar and all-you-can-eat buffet from 2pm through the end of the game, there will probably be a few in the crowd hoping the game goes into overtime. Tickets are $250 per person.
Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer’s Big Game Blitz
The Big Game Blitz is essentially a four-course feast of Black Tap snacks. Each quarter will have its own food choices starting with fries, chips and veggies at the start of the game and moving on to wings, burgers, and their famous CrazyShakes. Packages start at $200.
