NFL Week 1 in Vegas

Question

Go to Vegas almost every summer but have never been there for week 1 of the NFL. Was there labor day weekend for week 1 of college football last year.....booked the weekend after labor day this time around so I can watch CFB Saturday and the NFL Sunday.

Not too concerned about the crowds at the sportsbook.....don't mind watching the games at a bar etc. But was wondering how Vegas typically is after a busy long weekend like labor day.....fairly slow? I'm a blackjack player as well so hoping the tables aren't too packed.

Any sports bars you recommend to catch the games if the books are too packed?Heard theres a new EA Sports bar at the Cosmopolitan. Is the ESPN Zone gone?

Midweek after Labor Day,it&#x27;s kinda slow but picks right up again Friday..Just speaking from experience every year at the Rio.,I always fly in on LDay and out on Tues or Wed the next week.&#xD;&#xA;Yes the ESPNZONE at NYNY has been closed for some time.You may want to look into Lagasee&#x27;s (sp?) in the Palazzo but I&#x27;m sure like anywhere else on Sunday you want to be there by 9am for seats.All depends on the atmosphere you&#x27;re looking for,if you like the yelling,screaming packed book then plenty of places for you...Myself the older I get.am liking the back bar at the Gold Coast..all the games and just some Fantasy Football guys in my league also in town for the weekend..place is pretty quiet..Then I move over to the Rio sportsbook bar for the late games..&#xD;&#xA;Everybody and thier brother seems to recommend the Hilton book,but I&#x27;ve never been on an NFL Sunday..Have a good trip man.&#xD;&#xA;3 months and counting

I&#x27;ll be out there that weekend, along with about 5000 other Chrysler Auto Dealers for the Annoucnement Show. They are staying at the MGM, I am staying at the Cosmo. I think I will fly in on Friday and am leaving Tuesday after the show.
