Ahhhh......what? There are tons of sports bars all over the valley, where the main focus is on the game(s) and not on the video poker machines. Literally hundreds of them. Sports is kinda big down here, something to do with legalized betting of the games or something...
Seriously, there might not be the textbook, suburban sports bar, like a Jackson's or something right on the strip, but there are tons of them around town.

He means around the Strip.
I can't imagine there being a decent sports bar in the suburban sprawl of Vegas that comes remotely close to the sports bars in the NYC metro area.
But you obviously know the sports bar scene of Vegas better than I do. Where do you recommend I see games in Vegas in an establishment where sports comes first?

Having worked in a sportsbook, it's my experience that Under 21s are allowed to sit in a sportsbook.
They just aren't allowed to loiter around the betting sheets or betting windows making a scene.
If they are eating something from a nearby restaurant and watching the games, no one is going to say anything.

Espn zone...I worked there for 2 years. The place has 134 TV's and the sportsbook...although shitty..is 10 steps outside the door. Not to mention the 40-50 22 year old chicks that either work there or are drinking there. A little pricey but imo its the way to go with someone under 21...One other option is they just opened a Buffalo Wild Wings 2 miles south of Mandalay Bay on the strip. Cost ya 7 bucks by cab.

I just came back to this thread because I responded to your other post about moving here.
You're probably right about comparing sports bars in NYC to Vegas, there probably isn't a comparison. But,there are a lot of sports themed bars around town, Putters, PTs, Stieners, Wild Wings, just to name a few.
If you have a certain team (I grew up near Pittsburgh), find a bar that supports that team. There are two Steelers bars in town, and on NFL Sundays, they are unreal. Just packed, literally, with Steeler fans cheering to every single play of the game.
