#2 Posted: 2/28/2012 8:29:45 PM PH has a pretty good one, just because it includes food and beer all day, come as you go. Cosmopolitan has a good one as well. $50 includes unlimited craft beer and cocktails. Some people will girl about paying for stuff, but unless you are throwing around some solid coin, drink tickets are hard to come by. $50 is nothing for a day of drinking, you can win that back on a single bet. |

#3 Posted: 2/29/2012 10:24:05 AM Last year when I walked down the strip.... it was hard to find any hotel that was doing a "BALLROOM" for March Madness. It was rather disappointing.
I talked to the manager at Wynn this last week since i was out there for a convention, he said it is still in the air if they are going to do anything due to staffing. That seems to be the real issue. Most of these sports books don't carry an extra 10 people on staff that know how to take bets.
Last year I stayed at South Point. It was fantastic, they actually cater to the sports bettor. They not only have 2 sports books ( 1 for sport, another for horse racing) but they had 2 ballrooms open for March Madness games!

I mean this in the nicest way, but I just gave a link to something that basically has a comprehensive list of things that are available for March Madness watching in LV. If you take 15 seconds to scroll through the posts, there's a Cosmo link 1/2 way down. Do a little damn work on your own.

#9 Posted: 3/1/2012 2:33:17 AM Dear Lord.....................
Just get up very early and go to Mandalay Bay....This is the only place to watch and bet March Madness.
At last count, I have said this 32 times in this forum..........there is NO place in this town better than the sportsbook at Mandalay Bay for the first weekend of MM......

#10 Posted: 3/1/2012 4:08:53 PM Vegas Gourmet... have you ever been to Mandalay Bay during the first round of the tournament????
Good Luck gettin a seat or waiting less than 30 mins to place a bet.
I was just in the MB book this last week. The TVS are old and busted. MB used to be the best..... but just doesn't handle March Madness well at all |
