Big Game Plans At Pechanga: Kelsey's Tailgate Party, Menu, Details

TEMECULA, CA —Instead of hosting your Big Game bash in 2025, Pechanga Resort Casino suggests you pass on the at-home appetizers, call an audible, and head to Kelsey's.

Kelsey’s offers guests two parties in one. Football fans will see the sport’s biggest day on every restaurant's flat-screen TV and on giant projection screens for better viewing. For tickets, visit Pechanga.com/Entertain or Pechanga.com/eat/kelseys.

First on tap, the Kelsey’s Tailgate party from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Football fans wanting to get primed for the big game can purchase individual tickets to the Kelsey’s Tailgate for $75. With four or six friends, the party gets started with table reservations available for $350 (four people) and $450 (six people). Table reservations include one pitcher of beer, party favors, raffle tickets, game-time buffet and guaranteed seats for the tailgate and entire game. The individual Tailgate Party ticket provides seats for the entire night and early access to the gametime buffet at 2 p.m.

The Tailgate Party festivities include cocktail and beer tower specials, exclusive prize raffles and more. Guests purchasing drinks from the specialty list also receive additional raffle tickets.

The gametime party gets under way at 3 p.m. at Kelsey’s as fans gear up for the football action to start at 3:30 p.m. Guests wanting to arrive at for this portion of the day’s party plans can get a $52 entry ticket that also provides full access to the game time buffet. Fans will want to save their appetites because Pechanga chefs are cooking up pizza, beef and pulled pork sliders, smoked BBQ ribs, smoked brisket, mac and cheese, buffalo chicken wings, an array of hearty salads and fruit platters, plus a build your own nachos bar. Fans may want to go for the first down at the dessert bar ahead of the main meal. With sweets such as peanut butter brownies, caramel popcorn, lemon cheesecake bars, bacon chocolate chip cookies and assorted chocolate lollipops, buffet-goers are the real winners.

But there’s more at stake for guests. With plenty of raffle tickets and prizes available, a lot of winners will come away with football jerseys, sports memorabilia and more great gifts.

In case you were wondering, though it is pronounced the same, Kelsey's the restaurant bears no relation to Travis Kelce, the Kansas City tight end made even more famous by his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift, who will be battling it out on the big screen from New Orleans.

Kelsey's, the Pechanga American sports bar, welcomes all for NFL watching big game fun.

"The all-American sports-centered dining experience" features dozens of TVs show the best sporting events that you absolutely cannot miss, according to Pechang.com. "Kelsey’s is simply a comfortable slice of American sports and cuisine that will have you coming back again and again."
