“Wait till next year!” was the perpetual rallying cry of Brooklyn Dodgers fans. (Brooklyn, as any Raiders fan can tell you, is where Raiders icon Al Davis grew up.)

While 2020 was a disaster for Las Vegas due to COVID-19, the city and its new football team, the Raiders, won’t wait till next year to make a comeback. The official team hotel of the Raiders, M Resort Spa Casino, is launching a Raiders-themed restaurant sure to be a new home away from home for NFL fans—-and a shot in the arm for the city.

Raiders Tavern & Grill will feature more than 3,400 square feet of dining space, as well as two bars, Raiders memorabilia and merchandise. The restaurant also promises more than 45 high-definition TVs for sports and entertainment viewing.
