With all the excitement that will be erupting on that day, you might want a few pointers and tips to help you get the most from your Michelob Ultra Watch Party experience. Read below for tips and tricks to have the best 2019 NFL draft weekend in Vegas.

Before the Event

• Book a place to stay. The viewing takes place at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, which is surrounded by casinos and hotel with a variety of rooms. Book a room at the D Hotel to be right in the Downtown action and just a few steps away from the DLVEC activities.
• Guarantee your spot. There will be limited seating. In fact, it’s a “first come, first serve” event, so don’t wait to get your spot! Check out the venue online before going and figure out a game plan as to where you want to view the party. The event is free to attend, but booking a table or reserving a man cave ahead of time will guarantee you a spot with a view.
• Have your bets in. There has been a rise of online sports betting, but there are still a few traditionalists out there. Within walking distance is the Circa | Sports Sportsbook at the D Hotel & Casino, so don’t forget to make a bet before heading out to the event.

During the Event

• Stay hydrated. Yes, there will be lots of beer and alcohol, but please make sure to keep water handy. Especially with the sun and warmer weather, dehydration is something you’ll want to avoid. You would hate to have a time out and “be taken out of the game.”
• Explore the event. The Downtown Las Vegas Events Center is going to be loaded with food and activities to keep you excited and fueled during the event. From interactive booths with prizes to food vendors who sell game day hits like hot wings, be sure to walk around and enjoy the entire experience.
