FIRST PERIOD

The first period of your night at a Hockey Game starts long before the puck drops. Start with some true, Only Vegas “ax”-tion at Dueling Axes at AREA15 where you can safely toss hatchets.

Then immerse yourself in Knights memorabilia, arcade games, and the best local Canadian brews, head over to the Knight Time Hockey Bar at M Resort Spa & Casino. And what better place for a hockey pregame cocktail than one of the three minus5 ICEBAR locations in Las Vegas! Chill out at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas or The LINQ Promenade. In the clip below, VEGAS ON gives you an inside look showcasing how literally everything – walls, seating and even drinking glasses – is made out of ice.  

SECOND PERIOD

Follow that up with a pregame meal at a rooftop bar and restaurant, BrewDog Las Vegas. Enjoy the best views of the Las Vegas boulevard with one of 30 craft beers and exclusive brews of the on-site microbrewery. Then, it’s time for the game.
