More on Las Vegas Super Bowl Parties

Important Note about the great brew pub in the Monte Carlo......

Due to the fire at the Monte Carlo the Brew Pub will not be open on Feb. 3 The Monte Carlo Brewery might be a good choice but it is hard to find out if they are actually open to the public on Super Bowl Sunday. It seems as if they are but you might want to double check. The ESPN zone at NY/NY is also a place to check for a special event.

Super Bowl Parties in Las Vegas

The next best thing to being there is a Las Vegas Super Bowl Party.  Just about everyone has money on the game, sometimes a LOT of money, so the room is tense, and lots of fun.  Me, I'm not planning anything. In the past I've been lucky and got invites to some pretty amazing parties....I'll probably end up in a sports book somewhere.  Should be a good game!  One thing I didn't know:

....the major hotels no longer have any big parties due to a bunch of regulations the NFL has placed upon them. However, there are plenty of special event parties that are hosted around town where the game is going on and plenty of action is happening concurrently.

Vegas becoming a security lab

via The Washington Post via MSNBC.com.

The casino industry, like the national security industry, is seeking information to answer a fundamental question: Who are you?

"It's, are you a good guy or a bad guy? A threat or a non-threat?"
