Sports fans sometimes quietly steam through a business meal or meeting when a game is on—or ignore the company and the content to sneak glances at scores on a phone concealed in a lap. Solve that problem by hosting an event or group at the Sporting House Bar & Grill inside the New York-New York Hotel & Casino, a venue that has more than 130 video monitors for sports viewing. The two-story restaurant and bar has a collaborative menu design by Ark Restaurant Corporation executive chef David Waltuck, chef-owner of Chanterelle in New York, and Damien McEvoy, Ark’s executive chef for the past 14 years in Las Vegas.
Chef Waltuck offers dishes inspired by American classics in addition to his spin on classic sports-watching favorites. There are 12 beers on tap and a variety of premium and crafted bottle beers.
The screening room is on the first floor and can become a private room for events. The room has two 16-foot, high-definition screens and a dozen 36-inch, high-definition video monitors. Tiered seating allows for optimal viewing, and each table in the screening room has an individual video monitor that guests can adjust.
The Sporting House game center on the second story has more than 10,000 square feet of interactive and competitive sports-themed attractions like Daytona racing and Pop-a-Shot. The space also has several high-definition televisions, so no one misses out while a game is on. In addition to the game center, there is video poker at both bars. For serious gamers, New York-New York Race and Sports Book is also just outside the Sporting House.
