Good "regular" bars
 

I've been to LAS numerous times, usually with people for work. Going for 5 days at the end of the month, looking for advice on NON-casino bars that are friendly, sports oriented, etc. Is there much outside of the strip? I love San Diego, looking for something like Rock Bottom Brewery or Gaslamp Tavern type. In Vegas I know about Gordon Biersch, but it is kind of far off the strip (staying at the Flamingo), but something along those lines.......thanks.

Check out Town Square, which isn't that far off the Strip - there are a few good bars there - mostly catering to locals. Also, all the PT's Pubs (again, off strip)

Also, there's a few bars (higher end on pricing) near Fashion Square mall, but not really "bars" per se.

Gordon Biersch isn't that far away, IMHO, for a bar feel. Not sure if the ESPN Zone is still at NYNY.

Also, maybe check out the sports book at Venetian - it's an Emerils. And lastly, there's the sports book at the Hilton, which is a suprsingly popular place to watch games from what I've heard.

The Vegas location has closed.

Wow...I am very glad I posted here, ESPN Zone was my targeted destination for Monday Night Football! Didn't realize they closed most of their places. Looks like I need a new destination, does anyone know if the new sports bar in NY NY where the Zone used to be is similar?

For MNF suggest Lagasse's Stadium inside Palazzo. I have not been to First Food and Bar also in Palazzo but they have MNF specials. However, not sure if they have any big screens (as opposed to just regular plasmas placed throughout the restaurant).

Thanks...I've been to Lagasse's Stadium, it was nice, but as I'm going to be solo, would prefer a traditional bar to sit at. Is any familiar with Blondie's Sports Bar at PH? Looked pretty good from their web site....

I would suggest PT's if you have a car since one is not near the strip, but there are plenty in the area.

If all else fails, just walk down to the Hooters Casino and visit Hooters or the Pete & Shorty's inside it. Monte Carlo changes up their brewpub up a bit, but it is not as good as it was years ago.

From what I'm told, it's much of the same at the new place (different menu, same concept though). Many of the former ESPN Zone employees were hired for the new place.

There's a great place now: Lagasse's Stadium, @ Palazzo.

Another cool place os Dick's Last Resort @ Excalibur

Worth noting they might have food and bev minimum of up to $100 for some NFL games.

Was in Lagasse Stadium for the first time this weekend - not as impressed as I hoped to be - not a lot of seating, MMA fight was on every screen - seemed like a hip/trendy sports bar, but not sure it's the kind of place I'd want to watch a game....
