What’s the most important part of a Las Vegas Big Game party to you?
If this is your first time in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl – there’s so many options, from exclusive packages and VIP lounge seating to free admission venues. Are you looking for big screens? Do you want to be in a traditional sports bar or an event ballroom? Are you looking for an open premium bar package? Or, are you only looking for drink specials? You’re probably going to be hungry, so are you looking for an all-you-can-eat type scenario? Or, are you looking for available food but you’ll be happy to pay as you eat. Are you looking for a specially reserved table? Or, are you happy to be inside a venue or event space, but willing to roll the dice on getting a seat somewhere. Are you looking to be at a venue on the Vegas Strip? Or downtown on Fremont Street? Or, a locals establishment? Lastly, do you want to be inside or outside? You might think this is a crazy question in February, but Las Vegas does host outdoor viewing parties at their pools because they are lined with large screens.
As you can imagine, an all-inclusive event ticket can be quite pricey, but then again you’re in Las Vegas. Maybe even your sports bets (if this is your thing) will win and your party entry becomes free. Either way, it’s time to start thinking earlier than later about what you’re specifically looking for in a Super Bowl experience and start to research it out or book your reservation.
