You could try the sports book in any casino to see if they will stick it on for you.
Or the Crown and Anchor pub.

There was a massive "Irish" pub a few minutes' taxi ride away from the strip (MGM Grand end) that showed EPL and Six Nations games when we were out there a few years ago. Could be worth a shot. Can't remember for the life of me what it was called, mind!

***EDIT***
Found it!

That would give the League Cup a real boost. Final in Vegas.

Why does no one call it LAS Vegas anymore? :dunno:

It clashes with Liverpool v Chelsea so you're going to struggle to find somewhere that will show something other than that. Your best bet would be to e-mail McMullans and see if they'll show it as well.

Otherwise it's Hibs TV. Most of the sportsbook staff won't even have heard of Scotland so don't expect to just turn up at one to watch it.

I think it's due to the hangover film.

I was in Vegas in May when we played Rangers in the play off game. I asked in Paris sportsbook and they didn't have it, they even phoned Planet Hollywood and asked them who didn't either. I also asked in Ballys who checked for me too. They all said if it had been on Sky they would have shown it no bother but none of them received BT Sport. They couldn't have been more helpfull so you should have no problem if you ask.

Watched the derby October 2014 in the Crown & Anchor. Great pub and staff were great.....well, what I can remember of it.

Carrying on this theme, anyone know of bars in Madrid that might show the final? 6 of us going for the weekend to celebrate a 50th. Booked last September, and never gave the date a thought. Thanks.

The Tilted Kilt near the high roller. Amazing food, plenty beer options and slamming waitresses in mini kilts.

I miss vegas!!

O'Connells or Dubliners , next door to each other should be showing it.

Watched many games in there over the years.

Do a cracking breakfast if interested. :thumbsup:

I'm sure the Crown and Anchor show games on a loop so they might show about five games, one after the other, not necessarily live.

When I was in Vegas had to settle for a New Year derby with an update on a computer in the hotel we were in. I think Hartley scored for Hearts to make it a draw. Sure I ended up drowning my sorrows in a casino, worst places to do it!

I have a friend working in Afghanistan and he was wondering if the game will be on BT Sports or Sky Sports as he cannot log on to Hibs TV because of IP restrictions

Any help greatly appreciated.

The "Las" was lost on a bet that Sevco would be promoted last year.

If you can't find it on TV and try to stream it on HibsTV check out how good the wireless connectivity options are in your hotel room. Sometimes WiFi is free but won't give reliable bandwidth for video streaming. You may be better to pay for an upgraded connection if that option is available. You don't want the video stream to start buffering just as Cummings unleashes a screaming volley heading for the top corner.

I'd cancel the holiday, I was meant to go to Japan but there was no way I'd miss Hibs in a final. I've been watching Hibs for 36 years and only seen us win 2 cups. Winning finals are gold dust so **** Vegas or even Las Vegas

Speak soon mate.

ah kool

smack bang in the middle of the strip so a great location !

A word of warning though, beware of resort fees! Do you know if you got these included in your deal?
resort fees are cr*ppy money making schemes by most of the hotels in vegas( and a few other states in the usa, ) and they charge you for stupid stuff like a daily newspaper, the gym(if they have a gym) wifi business centres/faxes and a few other things like that( 95% of the stuff you would NEVER use )
I think with this the ebst thing to do is ask nicwly if you can get these wavied, maybe mention its your honneymoon(a half truth but hey!!)

How are you getting there, down to london prehaps?

The better half used to work at Thomas Cook so she's pretty clued up on that sort of thing, but thanks for the word of warning all the same.

Edin > Newark > Vegas. Looking forward to it now!

hi and no worries!!

hope the PM may have been of some use to you as well
I would have recommend a facebook game for you to play , inwhich you can get free stuff(sadly alot of good stuff are gone) but the game takes a while to build up.

Another tip is for shows n stuff is tix4tonight which sells tickets for same/next day shows so maybe worth saving money there.

as for the casinos/gambling set a budget and stick to it is a big tip!.as for drinks, in the hotels you can get drinks from the waitress for like $1 a drink! my brother whom likes his drink often asked for like double whiskeys and for a buck a drink good value !

as for your flights thats the same route we are going to vegas thoguh its a long time getting there we have like 4 and a half hour layover in newark,however on the way back we are staying in new york for 3 nights before heading home
enjoy:thumbsup:
