Going to Vegas for the Tournament and I heard its going to be wild.  I was wondering if anyone had ever been before? If so, where are the best places to go that weekend?

I was there last year for the second and third round.  Only place we could find a seat was at the Venetian. MGM has the best overall book IMO so if you can get there early i would say go there. I have heard the Hilton has a huge auditorium like room to watch the games but i could be wrong. We tried to go to Caesar's but the all the seats were reserved for the higher limit bettors. You will have a great time though. Non stop action.

Check out Paris.  They turn their auditorium into a watching room with 4 huge big screens across the stage.  Plenty of room even during the first and second rounds.  There is a temporary book in the hallway to place your bets.  Then you head into the lobby that is turned into a huge bar and then right into the auditorium.  Great atmosphere

When I lived out there I always found those days to be pretty fun
 
I would bet $10 on games just to be in action on those days even though i dont watch college hoops.
 
If you play cards and have a good poker room with lots of TVs thats pretty fun to do. people just yelling like idiots all day at the TVs

If your a heavy bettor it sucks because its a bunch of homer kids betting 10 teams $2 parlays and screaming like they have there house on it. 
 
I like a bit of noise but no seats and drinks take forever.  Not for me anymore but at 21 I would have loved it.

Headed to Caesars for the opening round.  It's a little crazy but a lot of fun.  Get your bets in early!  There will be lines at tip off.

Caesars by far.


I got a connection and me and my two friend sit in the middle seats with all of the high rollers.  Best seats in all of Vegas for the tourney.

I go every year for the second weekend.  First weekend is too crowded with squares.
