Below are options for places to watch this year's Big Game in Las Vegas, with a varied range in pricing, area locations, and food / drink packages. None of the parties are officially labeled or advertised as "Super Bowl Parties" , per se, because the NFL won a summary private use copyright judgement suit a few years ago that prohibits advertising Super Bowl parties on large screens and then charging customers for admission.
The NFL - politically correct phrasing for the below venue's game viewings / parties is typically referred to as "Big Game Parties". It's a rather hypocritical rule that all the venues must follow, in light of the fact that the NFL will make direct bookoo bucks off pro football's biggest game this weekend in Las Vegas. The nearly 300,000 expected visitors are still going to party, spend money ( the key factor, of course ), and enjoy themselves regardless of the shindig's proper / improper labeling. Turn it up, Margaret.

For those partiers who might think it's expensive to catch football's biggest game in Vegas, it might be encouraging for them to discover that the average ticket price at the live game in Indianapolis is just over $3600.
