Drop specifically at "New York-New York Main Valet / Park MGM Toshiba Plaza" (2m walk) and compare walk-in / standard seats against Toshiba Plaza Overlook Group Booth (6–10 Guests) ($400+).
Jim Heath ★★★★★ · 5 months ago“When I think of an all American restaurant experience, Tom’s Watch Bar in Las Vegas immediately comes to mind. This is exactly what a great sports bar should be. TVs surround you in every direction, the energy is high, and the whole place has that lively game day atmosphere without feeling chaotic. It is the kind of spot where you can settle in, watch whate”
Stephanie Greuel ★★★★★ · 4 months ago“Always such an awesome atmosphere, and the food was delicious as usual. Our drinks were also yum! Theresa made great recommendation for my mojito mixer and it was very refreshing! We love stopping in at least once when we’re in Vegas!”

Erupts 2.5 hours before T-Mobile Arena doors and all through commercial UFC PPV main cards (UFC PPV Watch Parties, Vegas Golden Knights Pre/Post-Game, NFL Slates & T-Mobile Concert Pre-Games).
Standard walk-in bar is $0 cover (UFC PPV nights sometimes carry $25–$40 cover unless booked on a F&B minimum table starting ~$450–$950). With 0% NV LET, an $800 group table across 8 friends totals ~$1,059 all-in (~$132/person) in steins, cocktails, and prime-rib dip platters.
Open All-In Split Calculator →Toshiba Plaza Overlook Booths soak up live pre-game drumlines outside while keeping dedicated server speed and 360° screens. Never walk up unreserved 45 minutes before a T-Mobile Arena puck drop or UFC main card—tables sell out days ahead.
Tap Floorplan Guest POVs →Casual sneakers, jerseys, and jeans; remember T-Mobile Arena next door bans bags larger than a 5"x9" wallet clutch.
Open daily till late; reserve group tables for UFC PPVs and Golden Knights home games.
View Direct Entry Options →Once you have 6–10 guests, paying for expedited tickets ($100–$150) plus 3–4 rounds of $28 cocktails puts you within $90/person of an entry-level table—where you get instant rope entry, guaranteed seating, and private mixers.
40oz two-handed beer steins $22–$26, cocktails $17–$21, famous prime-rib dip & wings $21–$29.
