Best Place To Watch UFC Fights in Las Vegas
When you are visiting Las Vegas because of vacation, a conference or tradeshow, or a convention, you will not want to miss catching all the action on UFC fight nights. While many of the area resorts have Sportsbook viewing areas, they usually only offer drinks while watching the match.
However, Vegas also offers several great venues to choose from, including “must-see” sports bars, clubs, and restaurants that show UFC fights.
One of the top-rated locations is Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar, located inside the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.
Where Can You Watch Ultimate Fighting Championship Fights in Las Vegas?
Aside from the numerous Sportsbook viewing areas, there are several sports bars and sports-themed restaurants that show UFC fights on the Las Vegas Strip.
When you want to be up close for every punch, kick, grapple, and strike, the ultimate experience is at Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar.
We have over 50 LED HDTVs and a massive 70-foot video wall that makes it feel like you are sitting ring-side.
What To Look for in a Good UFC Watch Party Spot
When you want a good spot that offers a UFC watch party in Las Vegas, some of the features to look for include:
- Immersive experience: You’ll want to feel like you are part of the action, while cheering on your favorite fighters.
- Screens and sound quality: The venue should offer a state-of-the-art sound system with high-quality screens.
- Screen location: You’ll want to be able to easily see the fight, so the venue should have plenty of screens, ideally placed, so that no matter where you sit, you can see clearly.
- Seating options: Look for a venue that offers a mix of booths, tables, outdoor seating, and bar seating, so you can choose your favorite.
- Menu and drink options: The watch party spot should offer a variety of appetizers, entrees, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Bonus points for specialty drinks themed to the UFC fight.
- Accepts reservations: You don’t want to be waiting for a table, booth, or bar space on UFC fight nights. The venue you select should accept reservations, so you can secure your spot.
- Other viewing options: Some locations offer private and semi-private viewing parties, as well as the option to book private rooms for smaller groups.

Why Watching UFC at a Sports Bar Is Better Than Watching at Home
Watching UFC fights at home can involve hefty pay-per-view costs. You also lack the camaraderie to immerse yourself in the fight alongside fellow fans and rivals. The high-energy atmosphere of a packed sports bar enhances the thrill of the fights.
Other benefits of going to a UFC watch party in Las Vegas at a sports bar include the following:
- More cost-effective because you aren’t hit with pay-per-view costs for every fight.
- No fight blackouts as sports bars can access fights, even when they are blacked out in your area.
- A great way to socialize, share your passion for UFC fights with other fans, and make new friends.
- You don’t have to worry about cooking or cleaning when inviting friends over to watch the fight.
- Access to all your favorite foods and drinks.
- Recommended food and drink pairings, like the best wings to order with drinks.
- No need to drive when you use the Las Vegas Monorail and Mandalay Bay Tram to get to our sports bar.
