Stay away from alll the popular clubs like Rain and Pure unless you have the coin to pay $15.00 a drink.Let alone steep covers.
Local places off the strip are best. Between Flamingo Hilton and Wynn hotel there is an area that has a few great bars with entertainment and a lot of out of town woman just having a good time. I have been laid twice at this location and no I didn't pay for it!! Juat walk toward the Wynn from the Hilton stay on the walk and you will walk by these bars.
Have fun and remember most of the woman are prostitutes

what are some good sport books to go to on saturday and sunday? I hear I have to get there early for a seat. Any books have better odds than others?
Finally is anyone going to be there from the 24th-28th?
This has to be the most asked question online from sports fans and handicappers, and one of the hardest to answer - because of what you're into, or what you perceive as "good."
My answer is: most all of them are good. All the major casinos have decent sportsbooks. To make it easier, I'll give you a list of some properties that have shittier sportsbooks. But of course, this is just my opinion, based on size, age, party atmosphere, etc.
Shitty books for hangin' out and partying:
Hooters - it's tiny, no room, no chairs (just bar stools), it's a Leroy's (NV sportsbook chain)
Tropicana - old Leroy's joint in a small depressing room
Sahara - little Leroy's joint in a back corner of the main floor
Anything downtown except the Plaza and the Golden Nugget. The Plaza just built a new book/game watching area called the Doom, it's pretty cool. The Nugget's book is small, but new.
Not that Leroy's joints are bad, they're great for getting a bet down, and usually have some decent numbers. The bigger books, (except the Hilton), are usually squarer joints, ie; laying an extra point or two consistantly on the key-gamed favorites.
The Plaza downtown has nickel lines all the time (-105), the Strat and Hard Rock have nickel line specials on Thursdays.
Your buddy from UNLV will probably have his favorite place, and you guys will probably hang out there. All this shit is just my opinion, other locals may agree or disagree.

....the new book at the Plaza is called the Dome, not the Doom!!
I saw that before. I know what you meant. I'm going to check it out this weekend. Sunday or Monday night. Probably a nicer view at night with the lights and all.

great feedback. exactly what i was looking for! I am actually staying at the sahara on wed and thurs, then moving hotels (not sure where yet). I got a 50 buck rate each night there, so its worth it. My buddy told me that you have to get there early to get a seat. Im a little confused on the set up, as Ive never really experience vegas like atmosphere at a live sports book (outside of this one place on the utah border, which really barely counts). Is it like nice lounge chairs etc, or is it more like a bunch of tv's against a wall and you sit on regular chairs?

They have all kinds of different seating. Usually a mix of everything from tiny little desk chairs, to comfy laid back chairs to couches. Just relax man, you'll get a chance to see soon enough.
Yes, arrive early to get a seat or two for you and your buddies. 9am should be sufficient, 8am, you're golden. When I used to come to visit and gamble and party, I always put my bets in the night before, or as soon as I got there (unless you're looking for line movement). That way, that shit is out of the way, and you're not making those decisions drunk or hungover the next morning.
Have fun, bro!!

I do not mean to sound negative BUT YOU MISSED THE GOOD DAYS OF VEGAS A FEW YEARS BACK!!!! 10 + Years back you could go to Vegas on THE STRIP, PLAY MEDIUM AND GET COMPED LIKE A CHAMP! When I was a student I could go there and grind them to death and get comped as well and play $1 BJ, Craps, Roulette, drink free all night get free meals and sometimes even more if I won a little and pressed it up! The bars were cheap if you had to pay for drinks, admission, clubs, etc.. Now Vegas is like a New York City Club on the Strip! $12 ++ for a drink! Just stupid how much you have to play on tables for comps! Everyone is nickle and diming, got to have BIG $$ NOW TO GO ON STRIP AND PARTY AND GAMBLE!!
The good ole days on the strip are GONE!!!

You guys gave great advice. My buddy has only been out there since august (transferred from URI) so Im sure he doesnt have his "set spots" yet. I definitely will have to get to these places early. Just looking for a comfortable place to watch the game on a realllly nice chair or couch!!!

Have fun and remember most of the woman are prostitutes
