In Las Vegas, you can watch any football game (not to mention, basketball, baseball, soccer, auto racing and probably badminton) at casino. That's nice if you want to be around people who are against your team.
In Vegas, there are many different football team bars and the Packers and the Bears have some of the biggest and best bars.

The Springs Preserve is a cultural and historic attraction only a few minutes from Downtown Las Vegas. Imagine a location where you can not only learn about the history of Las Vegas but about the process by which we all can work to preserve the environment we depend on
ReplyDeleteBut the Springs Preserve has priced out locals. It's not a cheap place to go.
ReplyDeleteIs Big Dog's Draft house easy to get to from the Strip?
ReplyDeleteDepends if you are driving or not. It's quite aways mileage wise and it would take a long time to get there on bus.
ReplyDeleteIf you were driving, just take 95 to Rancho and from there, it is about a 10-15 minute drive north.
I might add that the Rum Runner on East tropicana is the closest to the Strip.
ReplyDeletestaying at the luxor, would a cab be feasible for super sunday? Also do you know if any of the places you listed take reservations?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help.
If you go by cab to Big Dogs, you are probably looking at a $40-50 minimum taxi ride.
ReplyDeleteI kind of doubt any of these local bars take reservations.
I know Rum Runner has restaurants attached to the bar, for whatever it is worth.
