Looking for specific recommendations on books for atmosphere and viewing ability as I can. I prefer strip books as that's where we're staying. I usually like to park at Bellagio but I can only imagine what a mad house that will be.

Various places have watch parties in theaters, ballrooms, or banquet rooms. Some are free, some are pricey but include some food and beer. A lot of the 2013 MM info is just coming out for these types of things. Within the last week, the Caesars Entertainment properties released their plans, along with the LVH and others. I'd recommend this group on FB for the most up-to-date info: http://www.facebook.com/groups/mmilv/ Lots of info posted throughout that group and in document form.

It is a meat fest and every sportsbook is packed full of testosterone. GL getting halftime bets in, lines will be out the back. The best place to actually watch the games will be in your hotel room.

Was crowded but not overwhelmingly so. Can definitely go there to check out the MM action. Shouldn't be that bad trying to get a seat. The LVH wasn't bad either and I was there during the conference tournaments in the late afternoon.
