Las Vegas Saints


Recommended Posts

Next week I'm off to a Vegas for 8 days at a conference. I'm missing the West Ham home game, just wondering if there was anywhere likely to be showing the game? Staying at Hilton Grand Vacation Suites so fairly central.

 

I've got my laptop so can watch a stream from the comfort of my hotel bed, but the idea of a breakfast beer watching Soccer Saturday (even as an eternal optimist not even i you hope anywhere would actually show our game) on stream definitely appeals.

 

Not holding my breath, last time I was out not a single casino had the Haye/ Harrison fight on (not that I missed much).

 

Up the Saints!

I'd recommend Ri Ra Irish pub in the Mandalay (they also have a fine selection of craft beer) for viewing the game.

Game will possibly be delayed on Saturday (ie after 7am in the morning), check with Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Soccer Plus channel to see when we are scheduled.

 

You can also try the Crown and Anchor, off the Strip. There are probably other places showing EPL games too.

You'll want to have a look at the sports bar (sports book in local parlance) at the Mandalay Bay - they show EPL games, and I watched the Utd demolition of Arsenal there in 2011. LV Saint often posts on here as well - nice guy.

Cheers fellas, looks like Mandelay Bay it is! Looking forward to it. Need a coffee before the beers probably but looking forward to it.

 

Hi mate! Hope Vegas is treating you well...

 

Looking into the game tomorrow and...

 

1. Its not on Fox Soccer Channel (The normal cable channel).

 

2. It is being played delayed at 11.30am Vegas time (2.30EST) on Fox Soccer Plus (A slightly more exclusive cable channel that isn't available on all providers - Bars should be fine) http://www.foxsoccerplus.com/schedule

 

3. It is showing live on the internet on Foxsoccer2go (an internet paid subscription service that lets you watch live or on demand later - I'm not sure if bars have access to it) http://www.foxsoccer2go.com/upcoming

 

 

I have a $19.99 subscription to foxsoccer2go that lets me watch on the computer or from an iphone / ipad app, as my cable company don't carry Fox Soccer Plus. So that's the only way I can watch this game.

 

 

I think you might have to wait until 11.30 and watch it delayed - I checked the Mandalay Bay Sports Book and they said they weren't showing it and don't show delayed games anyway. There is an irish pub halfway between the Mandalay Bay and the Luxor called Ri Ra, I just called them and they said they have Fox Soccer Plus and can play the game at 11.30 if someone wanted them to. Might be your best bet... Their number is 1-702-632-7771 if you need to check, they open at 9am.

 

Otherwise, there is the Crown and Anchor Pub, a bit further away - http://www.crownandanchorlv.com/ or McMullins Irish Pub, further away in the opposite direction - http://www.mcmullansirishpub.com/index.shtml

 

I was there in february trying to watch the Citeh victory, while the bastard six nations was on, bloody nightmare! Every pub I tried was full of Rugby fans, I ended up seeing the second half in a sports bar in the Planet Hollywood! http://www.blondieslasvegas.com/ - Actually not bad, a million tv screens...

 

Good luck mate!

Really appreciate the feedback Social Saint, I'm up here at 7am in my Hotel going to attempt to watch the stream on the dodgy wi fi. If I can't watch it online, or I can and we win, I'll head up to Ri Ra's and watch it, I'll post on here after in case you want to meet up for a pint with my good self!

No problem mate! I was down in vegas last month and had a nightmare trying to watch, so thought I should help a fellow fan out!
