TAP Sports Bar Review

An Unparalleled Sports Viewing Experience in the Heart of the Strip

TAP Sports Bar at MGM Grand isn't just another sports bar—it's a technological marvel and sensory overload in the best way possible. With over 100 flat-screen TVs, including a massive 40-foot diagonal 4K screen, this venue redefines what it means to watch the game in Las Vegas.

Atmosphere and Amenities

The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a buzzing energy that's both electric and welcoming. The space is thoughtfully designed with multiple viewing areas, ensuring every seat feels like the best in the house. The centerpiece is undoubtedly the colossal main screen, but what sets TAP apart is their innovative 'Tap Table' technology—interactive tables where you can order food, play games, and even watch different games simultaneously while seated.

Food Quality and Menu Highlights

The culinary offerings exceed typical sports bar expectations. Their signature burgers are juicy and creative—the 'Mac Attack Burger' topped with mac and cheese is a standout. Wings are properly crispy with a good selection of sauces (the spicy garlic parmesan is a must-try). For something lighter, the California Cobb salad surprised with its freshness and generous portions. The beer-battered onion rings might be the best on the Strip.

Service Experience

During peak game times, service can occasionally slow down, but the staff remains remarkably friendly and knowledgeable about both the menu and current games. The table-top ordering system is brilliant for avoiding wait times during busy periods. Bartenders show genuine skill in crafting both classic and creative cocktails.

Value Assessment

While prices are slightly above average for a sports bar ($16-20 for burgers, $14-18 for appetizers), the portion sizes justify the cost. The real value comes from the premium viewing experience and technological amenities you won't find elsewhere. Happy hour (3-6pm daily) offers excellent deals on drafts and appetizers.
