Best place to watch hockey / NHL in Vegas?

[Moose]

The NHL playoffs are starting next week and I arrive in Vegas on Wednesday. My Sabres are playing the Flyers on Thursday afternoon and I don't want to miss Game 1. Where are the best places to watch hockey? Are there any sports books which are good for hockey, or are there any bars which are good for hockey?

Just go to Lagasses Stadium inside the Palazzo.

They'll change the channel to whatever you need. I've been there tons of times and have never had an issue.

Mostly all of the sports books show playoff hockey, but Emeril's Stadium is the best. I've also watched regular season games at the Skybox in Aria...pretty good spot, but not as good an atmosphere as the Stadium.

The nice thing too is they have outside nooks that have their own TV. Sometimes for PPVs, you can reserve the nook and they base the reservations on per head minimums.

I've also had fun watching it at Mandalay Bay, though that's far.
