ARIA Resort & Casino

• Renowned Las Vegas chef Julian Serrano serves up his native Spanish cuisine at his eponymous restaurant. With TVs lining the bar, Julian Serrano is a great place to view the game with delicious tapas such as the meaty Spanish Charcuterie Platter and Grilled Angus Flat Iron Steak with mushroom demi. Drink specials include half-off white and red sangria during the game.
• SKYBOX Sports Bar and Grill is far more than your average sports bar with 23 high-definition screens and gourmet "dude food" such as a Chorizo Burger with fried egg, cheddar cheese and toasted fennel mayo.  SKYBOX will go the whole nine yards with regional cuisine inspired by the two teams in the Big Game, including Green Bay-special Beer-Steamed Venison Bratwurst with sauerkraut, German potato salad and warm mustard sauce and a BBQ Chipped Ham and Bacon Burger with chili sauce and cheddar cheese for Pittsburgh fans.

Circus Circus

• With more than 20 flat screens and two jumbo screens, Rock & Rita's is one of the newest spots on The Strip and the perfect place for sports fans to tackle their hunger. The Big Game party includes an all-you-can-eat buffet of game-time favorites for $25 per person.

Crystals at CityCenter

• Todd English P.U.B. is hosting a tailgate party for the Big Game with festivities, food specials and of course, drinks.

Wash it down with a pitcher of Bud Light for $25 or five Bud Light bottles for $28.

The Mirage

• BLT Burger is a fair catch, serving up gourmet burgers from The Classic to Asian "Bahn Mi": a pork and shrimp burger with Sriracha mayo.
