The 5 Best Casinos to Spend Your Super Bowl Sunday

The Borgata has always been a classic in Atlantic City. Their sportsbook features 100 seats with individual flat screens, so you don’t have to look far to see the game. They’ll also have big screens above the wall.

One aspect that might appeal to some is that it’s non-smoking. Of course, most casinos, especially in Vegas, are friendly to smokers.

If you’re in the Washington, D.C., area, the MGM National Harbor, which has taken over as the top casino in the region, is the place to be.

There are several spots to watch the big game, whether in one of the sleek cocktail bars, the casino floor, or TAP Sports Bar. Of course, TAP will offer the most vibrant environment. With 95 flat-screen TVs and an endless array of beers on tap, you can’t go wrong.

Fish is a gorgeous restaurant by acclaimed Spanish chef José Andrés. As you can imagine, seafood is the name of the game here. This restaurant has several unique aspects, from fresh oyster tanks to live sea urchins and a seafood bar.

Located near the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, where the Eagles, Phillies, 76ers, and Flyers play home games, the Live! Casino is a great spot to watch any football game, especially the Super Bowl. 

The Live! Sports & Social restaurant houses a 52-foot big screen, serves a full menu, and connects to the on-site FanDuel Sportsbook. Depending on your preference, you can bet at ticket windows or betting kiosks. You'll find over 20 TVs throughout the casino, so you never have to miss a moment.

You can easily make your way to the nearby Xfinity Live!, where you'll find more giant TV screens, local Philly fare, and many fellow football fans.

Many people love the Westgate, and it's still a popular option for watching the Super Bowl, but it’s slightly off the beaten path. Nowadays, the heart of the Strip is around City Center. On the Strip, Caesar’s Palace is a great spot. 

In 2018, CNN Travel rated it the best casino in Las Vegas, and it’s easy to see why. Grab one of the 140 seats (make sure to book reservations ahead of time, since the Stadia Bar and Caesars Palace Sportsbook locations sell tickets for Super Bowl watch parties) and watch one of the 50-inch plasmas or six oversized screens. There are usually big crowds, which adds to the event's energy.

Once you’ve won your Super Bowl bets, head over to Nobu to put your winnings to work. Indulge in some of the best Asian and Japanese food at this elegant venue. No detail is overlooked, from imported fish from Japan to the rarest sakes.

Circa Resort & Casino opened in 2020, debuting Stadium Swim, a multi-level amphitheater with a 14-million-megapixel LED screen open 365 days a year. It's a colossal swim and sports bar experience that overlooks the Vegas Strip, complete with local DJs, two swim-up bars, cabanas, heated pools, and other VIP experiences.

Their Super Bowl watch parties have become legendary, with tickets ranging from $200 to $20,000, depending on the kind of experience you want to have.

If you prefer to stay indoors near betting counters, visit the "World's Largest Sportsbook," a three-story room with a 78 million-pixel screen, over 70 bar top games, and seats for 1,000 guests.
