Top seven hotels in Vegas for sports fans

When it comes to entertainment, there is no better place in the world than Las Vegas. Here, it’s possible to watch concerts, attend cabaret shows and even follow sports competitions, from golf to football to basketball to baseball to hockey, boxing to mixed martial arts and more.

The options for live entertainment are endless, and whenever a break is necessary, there are some of the best restaurants in the entire country within talking distance. There are often better deals for eating inside the hotel or resort, so it’s worth taking advantage of these restaurants.

There are even hotels called sportsbooks that offer on-site sports booking events and opportunities. Many offer excellent rates on their rooms and, of course, come complete with many excellent amenities to make the stay spectacular. Plus, military members, veterans and their spouses typically get a discount as well. Visitors should always look to see if the hotel or resort that they are interested in offers special discounts for being a military member, AAA member and so on, so that those savings can be spent on fun events.

To help choose the right hotel for a sports fan, here are seven popular destinations in Vegas. It’s worth checking the full package and making sure to take note of the resort fees (daily fees added to the room fee for the use of the amenities) when considering which one is right.

Westgate Las Vegas Resort

Considered the single best sportsbook in Las Vegas is the Westgate Las Vegas Resort, and that is because it is widely acknowledged as one of the best sportsbooks in the world. It is the largest option and features LED screens to give an incredible viewing experience of the events visitors want to watch.

As possibly the biggest and best sportsbook in Las Vegas, the resort offers a larger number of options to view each sport and game.

Guests will also be able to enjoy a full spa, a pool, live entertainment and some incredible restaurants like Benihana and the number-one-rated restaurant on TripAdvisor, Edge Steakhouse.

Wynn Las Vegas

Wynn Las Vegas has one of the newer sportsbooks in the city. Here visitors will find state-of-the-art technology, sophisticated design and a recently opened nearby restaurant to enjoy the experience. One of the biggest draws is the new 1,600-square-foot wraparound LED screen that gives everyone equal access to the action. It gets packed as well, which helps to recreate a real sporting event as far as possible.

The hotel itself is just one mile from the Las Vegas convention centre and offers floor-to-ceiling windows in every room. Luxe suites even have massage rooms, granite-wet bars and whirlpool tubs to add ongoing luxury throughout a stay.

On top of the spas, gyms, pools and hot tubs, the hotel also offers an 18-hole golf course, a live theatre experience and four different, trendy nightclubs.

Caesar’s Palace

Caesar’s Palace is one of the most famous and prestigious hotels in Las Vegas and offers an equally luxurious sports experience. Here visitors will find a custom 143-foot LED screen, state-of-the-art sound and plush seats to watch the game. With such a great overall experience, this sportsbook hall is a great place to watch a game.

One of the biggest draws is, for many people, the horse racing. There are 65 private booths for horse racing competitions where one has a private space and a 12-inch TV to catch the action as it happens.

The Mirage

The Mirage is a classic when it comes to accommodating sports lovers. Unlike the others in the list, guests will find multiple 85-foot HD projector screens available to watch the game or event of their choosing.

They can boost the experience further by getting the VIP experience. The VIP “owner’s boxes” start at just $50. Included in this price are unlimited drinks, which makes this the best way to spend a day (especially for those who are there for the NFL Sunday).

If sports fans are in the Mirage for restaurants and want to catch a game, it can serve them well. Other highlights include the dolphin tank, where it’s possible to swim with dolphins and, of course, the live events. As one of the most famous hotels on this list, there will be more than enough to do there while in town.

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

The Venetian offers a 10,000-square foot sportsbook and is run by CG Technology. There are only 118 seats available, however, so guests will need to reserve in advance to secure a spot. The good news is that there are also full-service kiosks available throughout the resort. Though small, the sportsbook at the Venetian can be intimate, and for those who are in the hotel already, it can be the perfect way to catch a game throughout the day.

To save on a hotel room, visitors will want to stay primarily during the weekdays and not the weekend. This is because Las Vegas is a very popular weekend destination for Americans who either fly or drive-in.

South Point Hotel

With 24/7 coverage, the South Point is perfect for the Brit or European coming to Las Vegas who is interested in catching a game or sporting event from back home, regardless of the time difference. It is a favourite amongst the locals and a great option for a quieter experience.

The hotel is located five miles away from the Strip. Nearby, one can get to the Silverado Park and also the Las Vegas premium outlets, making it a great choice for families. The hotel offers free valet parking, an airport shuttle and more. The biggest features for sports fans are, of course, the equestrian centre and the 4,600-seat arena.

The Book at the LINQ

This sportsbook hall is different from the rest and is targeted more towards millennials and younger. Rather than sitting in one seat seat, visitors can rent a fan cave, which includes a 98-inch TV and two 49-inch TVs where they can watch another game, play video games with friends and more. Guests will get bottle service and food sent to them directly, making it an excellent option when planning a night out with friends or an after-work experience with co-workers.

The LINQ hotel itself comes with great connections at only six minutes from the nearest monorail station and just five minutes from the High Roller ferris wheel. Another unique feature of this venue is the museum and gallery of classic cars – another highlight for sports fans.
