Charlie's Bar + Grill

Every year, around March Madness time, we ask sports handicapper and sports gambling author Nolan Dalla to curate a list of his favorite places to eat when he has action on a game (or multiple games) and doesn’t want to stray too far from the betting window. Being a creative guy, Nolan turned that into an article on the “best,” the “mixed” and the “worst” dining options available in or adjacent to a Las Vegas sports book (which you can read at nolandalla.com) and gave us permission to excerpt his picks for best. He first recommended Charlie's in 2022, and it's still on his short list.

“Mostly burgers, bar food, and a choice of 16 tap beers,” Dalla says of the offerings. “Not the best sports/food venue on The Strip by any stretch, but still gets a passing grade. There's also a high-dollar VIP area that's roped off where you can order food, but it's probably wiser just to hang out inside Charlie's.”
