If mandalay is showing the fight that can be fun. They drop the jumbo tron almost to the floor. And have people fill in the stands. Aria has a nice ballroom they show the fights in, huge screens everywhere possible. If you're going to watch a ppv fight or something in town, the bar's won't have the fight because it's blacked out.

Ur on boxingscene, so i assume you're like me...you HAVE to watch the fight.

Hopefully someone who lives there will come in here and be able to tell you exactly where, but here are other options just in case...

Here is what I would do:

1. Plan for the worst.

You will probably find a spot, but assume that no place will be showing it. Tip #2 is the emergency backup plan, but it gives me piece of mind.

2. [Backup Plan] Stream the fight in your room.

If you aleady do this at home then you know how to find the fights. Just bring a VGA cord and/or a HDMI cord so that you can hook it up to the TV in your room. If you need help with that go on youtube and learn how to do it, it's really straightforward.

3. If you are a gambler and have a casino host, ask them to help find you a spot. Sometimes some hotels show private showings for guests.

4. Call or go to the MGM box office to see if closed circuit will be shown.

They aren't usually offered unless the fight is sold out or approaching a sellout. If you go to the weigh-in on Friday, it would be most convenient to stop by then and ask. (I don't see any info on them right now, so it's not looking good for this option.) If you are a gambler and have a casino host, ask them

5. Buffalo wild wings seems like the option for people all over the country for other fights, so that is a bar I would call first. Other bars have to pay exorbitant fees to show PPV's so many opt not to...but BWW seems to show PPV's of fights in most cities. Looks like there are 3 of them in Vegas, all well off the strip..but that would not deter me if they are showing it for sure.

If you don't want to go that far off the strip then:

6. Call as many bars it takes until you find one.

I've done this before and it took forever.. but eventually I found one. It was years ago, so i don't know if the place is still around (it was called Jillian's and it's in downtown Vegas on Fremont. ) I guess you can start there

7. Ask taxi drivers, other fans at the weigh-in, just see what the word on the street is ya know. Twitter, etc.

that's all i got good luck
