Sweet 16 2017 March Madness Weekend.

Just booked a flight for March 22 to Vegas for the 2nd weekend of the tourney. Been going for the last 8 years for the opening round but decided to change up this year. Any opinions on which weekend you preferred. Will be staying as usual at the Orleans. 

Should be less of a meathead and bro fest than the first weekend of March Madness.  Sportsbooks won't be as packed which is a good thing.  Still be busier than normal, but the first weekend in Vegas is just ridiculous.  I went there once for the first weekend, will never again. 

Bling is correct. 1st weekend of March Madness is INSANE

never will go again opening week of march madness. college kids,techies and its a sausage fest. have fun!

Just a little over 3 weeks to go. Staying at the Orleans as usual. Got 2 futures tickets to cash in on Clemson and the Cleveland Indians

wadd makes a good point

WCC tourney is at the Orleans Arena March 3rd thru 7th

Pac 12 tourney is at the new T-Mobile Arena March 8th thru 11th

Mountain West tourney is at the Thomas & Mack Center (UNLV) March 9th thru 12th

hey cjm , know the feeling got one week for my trip. conference championship week in vegas nothing like it. good luck to you and me!

Good call on when, and where....informative

hey cjm , was curious how your trip went and thoughts about 2nd week of tourn.

Trip went well. Did well at the sportsbook but gave some back at the tables. 2nd week of the tournament is no where's near as crowded as the opening round. But also does not have the excitement and atmosphere. Not sure what will do next year.
