Ellis Island Casino, Hotel & Brewery transforms into an alpine lodge atmosphere for this Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony celebration. The watch party kicks off with a brunch spread complemented by bottomless mimosas and the playful tradition of shotskis—those communal shot glasses mounted on actual skis that capture the spirit of mountain revelry. As the Opening Ceremony begins, guests can settle in with their drinks and participate in bingo rounds while enjoying food and drink specials.

The venue encourages ski and snowboard attire, which adds to the après-ski atmosphere that Ellis Island is recreating for the occasion. It's the kind of event where showing up in your coziest winter gear (even in the Vegas desert) becomes part of the fun. The family-owned casino and brewery offers that comfortable, unpretentious Vegas vibe—making it an ideal spot to gather with friends, toast to the athletes, and celebrate the start of the games without the fuss of the Strip.
