It's in Vegas, so it'll be starting around 4am UK time.

My guess would be that you might get a hotel that's showing it, but as for pubs, forget it.

There are plenty of edinburgh clubs that stay open beyond 4 so theres a better than even chance. try the grassmarket.

I've been doing a bit of research and there is a casino called 'Circus Casino' which apparently showed the Hatton v Malignaggi fight in November. I reckon that's your best bet.

my experience from Endinbrugh was that the average pubs/bars stay open upto around 3 on yer average weekend. They've had late licenses longer than us though. Good punt is the out and out sports bar by the river (near main high street) that had a tonne of sports on its eleventybillion TV's. Quay Sports Bar I believe. We watched England vs Aus in it. As mentioned any casino is also a good bet.

By the way theres a million and one chinese takeaways for those that like eating dog and cat and a the brilliant EdinBurger.

Circus will defo show the flight, but you will have to sign in to get in there so be there in plenty of time and take some ID with you to sign in

Ah well, looks like I was wrong on that score then. You live and learn.

Going off at a tangent, it's also Barca V Real Madrid that weekend, hopefully that'll kick-off once the rugby has finished.

Shaping up to be quite a sporting weekend.
