There is no doubt that Las Vegas is one of the UFC’s biggest markets. The city’s population has supported the fight game for years and when Dana takes his show on the road there are always people looking to see the fights with friends.
Luckily Vegas has many establishments offering the fights on pay per view to those of you stuck in Sin City.
Allison Duck has compiled a list for the Las Vegas Sun that includes contact information and as usual UnfilteredMMA.Com has compiled a nation wide list.
Our pick off the strip is either the Palms or The Hooters Casino and on the Strip you Can’t go wrong with the Crown Club at the Rio. After the fights they have a low rider model contest. For an upscale experience on the strip check out Carmel at Bellagio.
Remember that most of these establishments have a cover charge but almost all Buffalo Wild Wings show the fights for free.
