    Headin to vegas 2moro and was wondering if anyone knows if the final day of the Premiership will be on TV over there. I'm not arriving until 11pm local time sat night and the matches will be on at 7am sunday morning.

    I'm stayin at the MGM Grand and would like to be just able to set the alarm for 6.55 and flick on the TV in the room to watch the games instead of having to get up an hour earlier and go looking for some place to watch them

    Go to the sportsbook and put on high stakes wagers imo.

    I was there around this time last year and watched the games on Fox Sports in the Caesars Palace sportsbook.
    But if your a Chelsea or Utd fan you might need to watch on Sky to get coverage of both games. If you exit the MGM on the side that Hooters is on, just turn left and walk about a mile down the road you will find an English pub(can't remember name) on your left with Sky Sports.

    Best of luck there Brendan! You'll love it and won't want to come back. Herself won't be disappointed either. Thinking of going out there in July again around the end of the main event and doing a week there and then a week travelling around Cali. Had'nt planned to go this year, but Christ it's tough to keep away after you get the bug.

    All the best and keep us posted.

    Tell the MGM you plan on betting on the games and would like them in your room. Then tip one of the guys or something and see if that works

    if you cant get it on tv, you can just hook up a laptop to a tv and watch it using Sopcast. The site is myp2p.eu and they have a huge range of sports that are streamed live.

    It's good but it's not sufficiently reliable to replace the sports channels imo, I recommend investing in a ******* box as well :)

    http://www.rojadirecta.com/ is reliable enough between all the options to replace the channels.
