Betting sports in Las Vegas is an experience in itself. But being able to enjoy watching sports in comfortable surroundings with the added bonus of eating great food while still having easy access to betting at a nearby sportsbook is what really sets Vegas apart. There are many places up and down and on and off the Strip that do a couple of these things well. However, very few do all three well enough to be mentioned in this article.
Lagasse’s Stadium at The Palazzo takes the cake as far as complete viewing, eating and betting experiences go. Named after celebrity chef and owner Emeril Lagasse, Lagasse’s Stadium could very well be the best place to watch a sporting event in Vegas if you are lucky enough to get a seat. Reserving tables are often a possibility, especially for big events like UFC Pay-Per-Views, with current and former MMA stars even making appearances from time to time. Also recently named 2016 Nightclub and Bar Sports Bar of the Year, the menu is as expected from a big-time chef like Emeril, including featured items such as his Black Angus Prime Rib Sandwich and Buttermilk Fried Chicken. The CG Technology sportsbook inside allows you to wager at the window or via a tablet.
For those sports bettors looking for a simpler but equally tasty experience, the Umami Burger, Beer Garden and Sports Book at the SLS is a must-stop destination. Named Burger of the Year by GQ Magazine, Umami Burger offers everything from truffles, ahi tuna and turkey on a bun, with the option of substituting grilled chicken breast or Portobello mushroom for any burger patty. In addition, guests can take advantage of the outdoor beer garden facing the Strip and place bets at the convenient Sportsbook book.
Finally, the newly remodeled Sportsbook Las Vegas SuperBook might be the very best place in town to watch and bet on any game. The SuperBook has long been known for its world-famous football handicapping contest called the SuperContest, but extra-large improvements to seating and viewing areas along with a no-smoking policy have made it the next-best thing to attending an event in person. The Sportsbook Deli located behind the new bar makes sure bettors do not go hungry either.
Whether you are in Vegas for the Super Bowl, March Madness or anything else, you simply cannot go wrong watching, eating or betting at any of these top-rated sportsbooks.
