What the Game-Day Atmosphere Is Like at Flanker
Every pick and roll is blasted from the TVs, surrounding every seat, on game day, and our sound system booms with commentators describing the plays in detail.
If you’re lucky enough to attend one of the upcoming basketball madness events at Flanker, you’ll be a part of a special experience you won’t soon forget.

What Makes the Flanker Viewing Experience Stand Out?
Flanker knows that the real way to make a complete fan experience is by putting them in the middle of the action.
Our massive 30-foot by 9-foot LED wall is made with advanced technology that shows every dribble and rebound in high detail. Catch replays in real time and reactions from the bench, as if you were sitting courtside.
Our sound system takes the experience to the next level, while still letting you chat about the game with friends. You’ll hear the crowd noise, announcers, and tension build as games come down to the wire.
Additionally, our seating is designed for comfort, and you can get a full day of games in without shifting around the restaurant.
Food and Drink Options During March Basketball at Flanker
The only thing better than watching the playoff bracket in a premium location is getting award-winning food that keeps you full and satisfied.
Every item takes it up a notch, like the Ahi Tuna Tartare Tacos, Caviar Lobster Rolls, or Shrimp Ceviche. Our restaurant is also known for having the best burgers in Las Vegas, like the Truffle Smash or Bacon Smash.
Not to mention, our drink menu is just as strong. You’ll get 40 drafts on tap and more than 60 beers total on any given game day.
Signature cocktails, like the Smokin Joe Old Fashioned, with Russell’s 6-year Rye Whiskey are a favorite. For something lighter, try the Field of Dreams, made with Ketel One Cucumber Mint Vodka, St-Germain, and yuzu juice.

Best Times To Arrive or Reserve Seating For
