Pretty much every place you go on Sunday will have the Super Bowl on, especially bars, restaurants, and sportsbooks on the Strip. Here are some others we’ve heard about, including some from you. Game on!

🆒 = reader approved!

🚫 🍺 Sober Bowl

(Downtown) A family-friendly no-booze event celebrating the Super Bowl, featuring music, comedy, and panel discussions — including such NFL names as running back Earl Campbell and quarterback Ryan Leaf discussing their sobriety journeys. At the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater.

(Centennial Hills) “Joey’s at Rainbow and Craig is 49ers headquarters! They always have a big party!” (Debra C.)

(Downtown) This might be the biggest game bash in town, with stadium-style seating, special tables and “man caves” (for a fee), food, and “booming stadium sound.” And it’s free. (Suggested by reader Patrick Frase)

(Henderson) If you’re near Water Street, this joint has a sweet upstairs venue with projector TVs devoted to the game — and your admission ($79+) gets you all-you-can-eat wings, pizzas, sliders and fries, not to mention beers, wines, and well drinks.

(Boulder City) “The Backstop is the best place I know of in the entire Southern Nevada region. There's a good, generous spread of complimentary food. The vibe is really fun. You don't have to be a local to feel welcome. I wouldn't see the Super Bowl anywhere else.” (Kris Saknussemm)

(Arts District) If you’re really only watching the Super Bowl for the halftime show entertainment, then this is your scene. Usher karaoke contest! Nineties fashion contest! $20 entry fee includes a free drink with RSVP.
