From giving in to March Madness to partying like a pirate, here’s what to do in Las Vegas this weekend (Mar 24 – 26).

March Madness is still raging, and this weekend is your chance to watch a game live in Las Vegas. T-Mobile Arena plays host to the Western Regional on Thursday and Saturday. Resale tickets start at $150.

If you can’t snag a seat, head to a local sports bar, and you’ll find plenty of fellow fans.

When: Saturday @ 5:49

2. Dine like a celebrity

Stanton Social Prime is officially open. Celebrate the Chris Santos-helmed spot with a 64-ounce bone-in Super Tomahawk or branzino stuffed with caramelized saffron, leeks, and fennel. The menu borrows from the original Stanton Social in New York but still has its own flair.

  • 5 – 10:30 pm Sun – Monday, Wednesday
  • 5 – 11:30 pm Tuesday, Thursday – Saturday
