Time to cheer, scream, bet, and eat chicken wings. March Madness gets underway this week and Las Vegas is loaded with viewing parties.

Mania Under the Sun

As the weather heats up, enjoy March Madness from the comfort of a temperature-controlled pool or cabana. Stadium Swim, the rooftop pool deck at Circa, has Mania Under the Sun viewing parties throughout the month with the action easy to watch on a massive 78-million-pixel video wall.

General Admission

General Admission is offering a March Madness deal that’s hard to refuse at UnCommons in the Southwest Valley. Anyone dressed in support of their favorite team gets a free draft beer or dessert.

March Mania

The Fontainebleau is staking its claim as a top spot for NCAA basketball tournament viewing with March Mania, transforming the BleauLive Theater into one big party March 19-21. Depending on your ticket, a buffet and at least two drinks are included. You’ll get to watch games on high-def video walls and place bets at an on-site sportsbook.

March Hoops

The D has done a good job establishing itself as one of the best places for March Madness viewing in Downtown. March Hoops runs March 18-21 with cocktails, concessions, satellite betting stations, and more. Best of all, it’s free! Unless you want to act like a baller and book your own private “man cave” with your buds.

Game On

Game On at Boulder Station is one of my favorite sports bars in Henderson. It operates 24 hours a day, the layout is wide open with plenty of seats, and food and drink specials begin at just $5.

Bottled Blonde

When not booting border patrol bigwigs from the premises, Bottled Blonde is one of the best places to watch sports on the Strip. The multi-level bar and restaurant is promising to crank up the sound during key March Madness matchups with table reservations available and open seating by the bar.

March to the Championship

Concert residencies are in short supply at Resorts World these days, so it’s nice to see the hotel’s theater put to good use as a March to the Championship viewing party. Admission is free with plenty of food and drink to buy. You can also upgrade to couches and other VIP seating options.
