Las Vegas: Emeril’s new Legasse Stadium aims to be a luxe sportsbook lounge in the Palazzo

Calling all sports fans. Now you can make your Las Vegas sports bets in extreme style. Emeril Lagasse— yes, that Emeril Lagasse of the mega-culinary business,  including restaurants, TV shows, cookbooks and more—has opened a new sportsbook-sportsbar hybrid inside the Palazzo hotel-casino.  Lagasse’s Stadium opened Thursday, Sept. 3. As if the 100 HD TVs and stadium sofa seating weren’t a big enough draw, check out their happy hour menu—Bam!

Tailgate Lagasse: Enjoy happy hour 3-7 p.m. Monday through Friday or until 30 minutes before a pro-football game through Sept. 30. The happy hour menu includes $5 appetizers such as two mini chili & cheese hot dogs, potato skins and spinach and artichoke dip with tortillas. On the liquid side, enjoy $3 beers, $15 buckets of beers and $20 pitchers of specialty cocktails.

Tip: You can make your sports bets from inside this venue.

Where is it? Lagasse’s Stadium is inside the Palazzo below Morels and across from Dal Toro Italian restaurant. Use the escalators near LAVO restaurant and at the Las Vegas Boulevard corner and Sands Avenue patio entry.

Note: This space was renovated after the Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club was closed and sold back to the Palazzo last summer.
