Analysis

[Editor's Note: Something is amiss currently with the above poll results. The analysis is correct (Westgate #1, Caesars #2, and South Point #3, with Slater's last with no votes. We appreciate your patience as we look into the problem.]

Obviously, the big sports books are the preferred places to view the biggest U.S. sporting event of the year. The Westgate's SuperBook is not only huge, but it traditionally posts the most prop bets for the Super Bowl. Caesars' book is similar in size, though its prop bets are a lot more limited.

We're not surprised by South Point placing third; it's a sports-betting mecca, run by Chris Andrews, author of our upcoming bookie memoir, Then One Day. And all five of its parties are free to enter; food specials include $1 hot dogs, $1 popcorn, $3 pizza slices, and $5 chicken wings. Drink specials include $25 beer buckets and $5 cocktails.

The rest of the vote-getters will give you a good idea of the most popular venues for watching sports. And to get all the details on Big Game parties, you can see our extensive coverage in a blog post on VegasWithAnEdge.

We're sure some Hendersonians will watch the Super Bowl at Slater's 50/50, the bacon-burger joint on Silverado Ranch Blvd., even though no one voted for it (the first time in long memory that an LVA.com poll selection didn't receive a single vote). It's not a bad little sports bar that opened over the summer, which we ate at recently and will run a review in an upcoming LVA.

With $6 billion projected to be bet legally and illegally on this year's Super Bowl, it's instructive to note that that's more than all the legal betting combined for the entire year of 2018. On one event.

Go Rams.

missing categoty

You forgot a category for those, like me, who do not watch the super bowl.

Dave Jan-16-2019

None

I’m one of those people who DO want to see it but would never want to go to Vegas do to so.

We watched it last year--for the first time ever--

at a party at a golf course clubhouse in Phoenix. Even though I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama I've never had any great interest in football, but I enjoyed it more than I expected to. We don't have any plans for this year yet. If I did come to Las Vegas that weekend, a good place might be the Orleans Poker Room. I don't think I'd pay hundreds of dollars for a special party.

This year our favorite local sports bar poker league suspended their Sunday games until "after the Super Bowl," and it's an open question whether they'll actually start them up again.

FOOTBAH.

My buddy and I had a great time at Sam's Town a few years back. Beer & hot dogs and a BIG screen and giveaways.It was not crowded or too noisy,either.No smoking in there.

Ray Jan-16-2019

Don't people read the question?

To comment to Joseph, NOT watching it wasn't the point of the poll. It doesn't apply to you. Also the others, it is a poll about VEGAS preferences. If you don't watch, prefer to stay home, or watch in another city, the poll isn't targeting you.

The D!

I’d vote for Longbar at The D downtown! Didn’t see that as a choice on the poll...

Reno Faoro Jan-16-2019

LOL, the 'D'  was not on list. Detroit  radio ads says the SPORTS BOOK THERE IS TOP NOTCH . VERY LIMITED SEATING LOL

Treasure Island

TI is not listed! I go where ever I get comped.

O2bnVegas Jan-16-2019

Great name

Three Angry Wives?  Must be a nudie bar.  I'd vote for it just for the name.  LOL

Nobody for Wynn?

Kevin Lewis Jan-16-2019

$389 a night plus resort fees!

You need to have an answer, "back home." In the past, I have come to Vegas during the preceding week, made some bets, then gone back home and watched the Super Bowl in the comfort of my living room, with complementary snacks and beverages, not surrounded by screaming drunks and scumwads smoking cigars, and happy in the knowledge that I had saved $1000 by not staying in Vegas for the game. And when I won my bets, I just mailed in the winning tickets.

ESPN Zone

The ESPN Zone has been closed for over a year now.  Surprised you guys aren't aware.

Susan Johnson Jan-16-2019

wishing?

As long as you made wishing an option, I wish I could go to Vegas and watch the Super Bowl at the Stardust!  I will when I perfect my time machine, lol.

Stephanie Jan-16-2019

We are going to a "private" corporate party at a nightclub at a Strip Casino!! Woot! Otherwise, I'd vote for somewhere downtown.

Noreen's?

I voted for Noreen even though I have never heard of her until now, but I will check her out next time I get to Vegas.
I also like the South Point, and let's face it: one can watch the super bowl literally anywhere. 
But actually I will be at home watching on my own TV with friends.

Sandra Ritter Feb-02-2019

South Point

You say South Point placed 3rd but on the list I see it's at the bottom with zero votes. Perhaps a fix is needed.

Pat Higgins Feb-02-2019

I would rather be anywhere but Vegas during the Super bowl, New Year's Eve, 4th of July, etc.  Too crowded, rooms and food too expensive, and noise.  We will go other times when it is not so crowded.

Luis Feb-02-2019

locals are the place

I like the "locals Hotel - casinos" , the laid back atmosphere, the friendly and attentive service, that's why, for me The Orleans, Gold Coast, Sam's, South point are the places to go for super bowl week end or any time, ooooh, and there is the parking and prices too!
