Las Vegas went from promising rookie to big-league sports town faster than a Formula 1 car can speed down the neon-lit Strip. Now, it's a winning, full-throttle professional sports city. The Vegas Golden Knights raised the Stanley Cup in just their sixth season, and the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces won back-to-back championships in 2022 and 2023. And in 2024, the Tropicana was demolished to make way for the A's ballpark.

Sports fans are coming to Las Vegas in large numbers, and they're finding ample places to play, drink, and eat. From reliable neighborhood sports bars to Strip resorts, the places to catch a game seem to multiply each day. So, what makes a great sports bar? Often, it involves dozens of television screens, seating for all those fans, and an exceptional menu featuring craggy chicken wings, stacked sandwiches, smash burgers, and more unique dishes that can carry a game-watcher through overtime. So place your bets, then head out to one of these sports bars for your fill of game-day action and championship-caliber food.

This update removes Chickie's & Pete's and BrewDog from the lineup, and adds in Tom's Watch Bar and Eight Cigar Lounge.
