FAO Vegas

Post by Devils_Advocate » Sat Nov 23, 2019 6:12 pm

In Vegas next week and plan to try and get my arse out of bed for the Palace game. Staying near MGM Grand and wondered if you know any good places nearby where I can get the game on a screen with commentary?

Guessing Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs games will have more demand but if a bar has loads of screens and even booths with own TVs I might get to watch the Burnley game properly

If i get a few ideas I can nip in and suss them out on the Friday

yeah the problem is going to be who shows all the games. I believe http://www.mcmullansirishpub.com/index.shtml possibly do, might be worth dropping them a quick email. Maybe also ask https://www.blondieslasvegas.com/ which would be closer for you.

some info here too: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g ... evada.html

It's a difficult one for me to honestly answer as I just watch at home, I believe there have been a few on here that have managed it previously so might be worth changing the title to the thread as "where to watch footy in Vegas"

The Crown and Anchor British Pub used to be good for the football.

Most places here in the USA won't be showing that game as it's online streaming only. You'd need to find a joint that pays $200 a year for a single license.

What's worse is that's just for a single TV. For every other TV they need another account for another $200.

considering how much they charge for a beer in most places now here that shouldn't really be an issue ! They'll make that back in 5 mins

Looks like I might just have to stream it on my ipad. Hopefully hotel wifi will be good.
