Catch all the X’s and Oh’s
5 spots with terrific views on game day
WHILE Raiders fans eagerly await the day they’ll get to watch a game inside Allegiant Stadium, finding a bar with the best video setup may be the best option for game day. Sure, nothing can compete with the 345-by80-foot screen that adorns the stadium itself. But plenty of local watering holes are wired to offer each customer a great view of the action. Whether you’re looking at one really big screen or lots and lots of smaller ones, you shouldn’t miss a snap at any of these spots.
The Front Yard, Ellis Island
There are 25 TVs scattered throughout Ellis Island’s two-story indoor-outdoor space (which, like Allegiant Stadium, has a retractable roof ). When the action heats up, however, all eyes are on the 18-foot screen at the north end of the hall. Three levels of game day food and drink packages are available, priced from $50 to $85 per person, and they all include tickets for a drawing that could win you a $150 gift card. ellisisland.casino.com
PBR Rock Bar & Grill, Miracle Mile Shops
Rock ’n’ roll and bull riding are the themes here most of the week. But that all changes when the Raiders are playing. Game day specials include $4 Coors Light and Miller Lite drafts, $5 Truly and Modelo drafts, and $20 buckets of
select beers. You can enjoy them while watching the action on one of 60 high-definition TVs inside the restaurant. If you prefer some fresh air, there are another 19 HD TVs on the Las Vegas Boulevard patio. pbrrockbar.com
PT’s Wings & Sports, The Strat
Most casinos have great viewing in their sportsbook. The Strat takes that experience to a new level with a massive PT’s directly next door to its in-house William
Hill betting parlor. In addition to at least a dozen HD TVs, it shows the games on an 8-by-28-foot LED screen wall and another 11-by25-foot LED screen behind the bar. For gamblers, betting odds are displayed
