NEW/OLD/BETTER PLACE TO DRINK & WATCH THE GAMES

Tahoe...

My thought on that would be a fun restaurant that would have a big screen tv and be able to set up a table for 10. Obivously, you would have to guarantee a certain level of food/drink that your party would have and use a credit card, up front, to reserve that table.

Using NY-NY again, as an example, their Irish pub, Nine Fine Irishmen, has great pub food and a large screen tv set up for football. It's a 2-minute walk to the sportsbook. They might be open to taking a guaranteed reservation for that Sunday.

Next door, Monte Carlo has Diablo's and The Pub, which always shows the UFC pay-per-view fights..so they can also set up for groups and big screen tv's. I'm sure that every hotel will have a pub/restaurant that you can book a large table for the game.....just a matter of guaranteeing a level of business for the restaurant...and that's where your credit card comes in.

Since you are not VIP-level for a private party, the restaurant direction would be the way I would go. You have to eat and drink anyway, right?

Thank you VG. Great idea.

They just installed a state-of-the-art betting kiosk on the first floor, in the restaurant area near the bar.....has all the bets that the sportsbook has, GREAT FOR HALFTIME BETS, and just cash your winning tickets at the sportsbook which is 20 feet out the main door....

  Just a local casino?

There is a Irish pub in NYNY that I go by to grab a quick brew whenever Im in town but no one seems to be eating only drinking. They serve authentic Irish fare and  was curious if the food was good? By good I mean would you go back if the chance arose.

Kid...Their Shephard's Pie is delicious, there is also an Irish soup that is amazing....decent happy hour prices on some items...

Interesting bit of trivia (because I know the beer distributor)...Nine Fine Irishmen pours more pints of Guiness than any pub in the WORLD!!!....really.

I watched one of the Stanley Cup games @ Blondies located in the mall @ Planet Hollywood. We had a group of 8 or 10 & it was a good time. There is some seating where you can watch games outside of the bar kind of in the mall - when you hoot & hollar the sound kind of reverberates / echoes. It was fun - especially if your team is up.
