UPDATED — September 10, 2026
With the NFL season kicking off, many football fans are once again seeking great places to watch a game or two (or perhaps more) during their visit to Las Vegas. Thanks to the rise of mobile betting apps, fans who like to place a lot of action on multiple games no longer need to stay anchored in a casino sportsbook all day. Instead, they can place their wagers while sampling the city’s new wave of sports-minded restaurants, pubs, and even pool decks.
The Neon Feast dining guide spotlights 10 of the best places to watch the action this year. Not all of them are dedicated sports bars or restaurants. But each offers its own version of game-day viewing, food and drinks.
Charlie’s Sports Bar (Wynn Las Vegas)
Adjacent to the Wynn Las Vegas Race & Sportsbook, Charlie’s Sports Bar is a throwback to the days when sports gamblers didn’t want to wander very far from the betting windows. The restaurant offers views into the sportsbook, along with its own viewing screens. The menu of what Wynn calls “elevated American comfort food” includes a pastrami Reuben sandwich, a Buffalo onion ring tower, burgers, cheesesteaks and more.
Dawg House Saloon & Sports Book (Resorts World)
Part sports bar and part live music venue, Dawg House sits directly beside the sportsbook at Resorts World. The 15,000-square-foot space makes sports a major focus when big games are on, while its menu includes burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, wings and other familiar game-day fare. And if none of that sounds good, the nearby Famous Foods Street Eats offers more than a dozen other concepts where you can grab something during a commercial break and bring it back to the game.
Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar (Mandalay Place)
The Mandalay Bay sports bar offers numerous high-definition monitors, including a massive 30-foot-by-9-foot screen, alongside a menu that ranges from ahi tuna tacos and lobster rolls to wings, nachos and pretzels. Its location near the Hacienda Road entrance also puts it directly on the path many fans take when walking from The Strip to Allegiant Stadium.
Ri Ra Irish Pub (Mandalay Place)
This Irish pub in Mandalay Place has long been one of our favorite Las Vegas spots for watching soccer and rugby, thanks in part to its willingness to open early for European and South American matches. But Ri Ra also celebrates Raiders and Golden Knights games. The authentic pub setting, more than 30 beers and an extensive whiskey collection make it a comfortable home base for just about any sports fan.
Beerhaus (NY NY/The Park)
Beerhaus in The Park combines more than 40 brews with the casual atmosphere of a classic beer hall. The kitchen serves rotisserie chicken, barbecue, sausages, sandwiches and salads, while giant Jenga and other tabletop games provide entertainment when there’s a break in the action. Its location outside New York-New York also makes it an easy stop before or after events at nearby T-Mobile Arena or Allegiant Stadium.
Chickie’s & Pete’s Crabhouse & Sports Bar (Sahara Las Vegas)
Philadelphia sports fans have known Chickie’s & Pete’s for decades, and the Sahara Las Vegas location brings that experience to The Strip. The menu includes Philly cheesesteaks, the brand’s trademarked Crabfries, burgers, pizza and plenty of seafood. About 50 television screens surround the bar, while betting windows make it easy to bet on the games.
The Front Yard (Ellis Island)
Ellis Island’s two-level beer garden combines craft beer, food and sports viewing just east of The Strip. Several TVs are spread throughout the space, anchored by an 18-foot screen. The food is designed to play nicely with beer, with flatbreads, beer-brined wings, burgers and barbecue specialties among the options.
Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Sports Kitchen (Horseshoe Las Vegas)
Guy Fieri’s sports-themed restaurant at Horseshoe Las Vegas combines the celebrity chef’s characteristically over-the-top comfort food with more than 30 TVs, sports memorabilia and a digital ticker displaying scores. The menu mixes Mexican, Asian and Southwestern influences with barbecue and bar-food classics, including Trash Can Nachos, ribs and a fried chicken sandwich topped with mac and cheese.
The George Sportsmen’s Lounge (Durango Casino & Resort)
The George at Durango takes the sports bar concept upscale without losing sight of the games. Dozens of televisions fill the restaurant, while some tables have views of the neighboring sportsbook. Outside, a climate-controlled courtyard features stadium-style seating facing a video wall. The menu goes beyond burgers and wings with steaks, flatbreads and other options, though it still includes plenty of familiar game-day favorites.
Stadium Swim (Circa)
Part dayclub, part sportsbook and part casino pool, Stadium Swim at Circa offers a game-watching experience that could probably only exist in Las Vegas. Six pools and two spas face a massive 143-foot screen that can show multiple sporting events or devote the entire display to one big game. And football gets special attention, with pro watch parties on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays, and college games on Saturdays.
Those are the 10 spots currently featured on Neon Feast’s Game Day list. For more details on each restaurant, check out the complete Neon Feast Game Day list.
