Stadium Swim is a massive rooftop pool that combines sports, swimming, and a day club to create one of the most unforgettable experiences in the world. Fittingly, it’s located in Circa Las Vegas, which is the premiere sports betting destination in the city. Outside at the pool, tourists and locals alike soak up the sun at six different pools spread out over three levels while taking in the biggest games on a 40-foot, 14-million pixel high definition screen. Swim-up bars, a live DJ, pool side table games, and betting make it an all day (and night) experience. Premium bottle service and a food menu, which includes items like lobster corn dogs and a charcuterie board.

Book your cabana online and as early as possible, because when Vegas heats up, Stadium Swim gets extremely popular.

Born and Raised is a towering figure among local Las Vegas sports bars. It’s a locals spot off the Las Vegas Strip where visitors can scream like banshees as they cheer on the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels or the city’s professional sports teams. The bar serves classic pub food like sliders and wings, and has 20 beers on tap. Two locations give your group options, but you’ll want to hit the original on South Cimarron to get a real experience of rubbing elbows (and trading sports stories) with the hometown folks.

Crown and Anchor is a classic British-style pub that is open 24 hours, catering to both early risers and night owls. It offers traditional pub fare like cornish pasty, bangers and mash, and kidney pie. Guests can also choose from more than 30 beer and cider selections. Where Crown and Anchor really shines for sports fans is its commitment to being one of the best places in Vegas to watch soccer. When important Premier League or La Liga games are being played, the place becomes a madhouse. Of course, American football and local games can be watched here also, but there’s nothing quite like a group of footbol fans screaming like lunatics at 3 AM.

Crown and Anchor have two locations off the Strip but the location on East Tropicana is the spot you’ll want to hit to get the full sporting experience.

Yes, Blondies is in the middle of the Miracle Mile Shops so it might not catch your eye at first glance, but it’s got more than 60 high definition televisions (including a 12-foot monster) that offer great views of the hottest games no matter where you’re sitting. Then there’s the unmissable happy hour (all-you-can-drink for $20) and you’ll wonder why this place is in the middle of a shopping mall and not perched on Mount Olympus with other legends and gods. Being inside the Miracle Mile Shops means foot traffic is high, so you’ll want to reserve a table in advance or you could be on the outside looking in.
