While
I’m always game for pushing the envelope, uttering a name that is trademarked in
NFL football is a BIG OLE GRAY AREA that I’m just going to avoid! On February 2, 2014
at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey THE BIG GAME will take place!
Don’t, for one second, think that means all the action will be on the East Coast. While
you won’t get front row seats in Las Vegas, you’ll find PLENTY of action! Beer
is flowing, bets are being placed, and there are plenty of places to see the Big Game in Vegas!

This
will be the first Big Game played outside in cold weather and also the first
game to be hosted by not one but TWO states, New Jersey and New York! While
all the crazy folks are layered up in their winter parkas, praying for a little
warmth from the sun, all the partiers will be here, with us, in Las Vegas, nice
and toasty, placing their bets. What do people bet on when it comes to the Big
Game?
Aside from actual things related to football? I won’t lie, it gets pretty
outrageous! How long will the postgame handshake last? How many backup singers
will be at the halftime show? Will the entertainment be wearing pants or a
skirt? Will they have their hair straight and long or pulled back in a pony? Oh
yes, you can bet on virtually ANYTHING! Aside from the betting, the multiple
HUGE screens the game is played on, and the eclectic crowds, there are several places to place your bets! Here are the
best places to see the Big Game in Vegas.

televisions! Drinks, snacks, and the 28x30’ projection screen make this more
traditional venue the party to partake in!
Bellagio
Oozing
elegance, this sport’s book is intimidate and upscale. With some of the highest

Wynn
Complete
with a 20 seat VIP lounge, 37 plasma televisions, and three 12x12 big screens,
the sport’s book at the Wynn might even exceed the Bellagio’s in luxury…so
close, maybe we should bet on it!
Hard Rock
Partying
on a budget? For under $50 you can join the other cheapos with an all you can
eat buffet during the Big Game and a bucket of beer. The best Sport’s book in
Vegas? No! BUT this is a great deal if you’re shopping for a bargain. Trust me!
New
York, New York
If
you’re wanting a little more “sportiness” to go with your game, give NY, NY a
